It looks like he might be persuadable if we can help him out with his adventuring right now. Do you think you could look into this and try to recover some of these tablets? ~Alyssa ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Irene Appleton <iappleton@marshallcollege.edu> Subject: Re: Can you help us break into Enigma Valley Investment & Loan? To: Alyssa P. Hacker <aphacker@mit.edu> Dear Alyssa, I'm Irene, Dr. Jones' secretary. Dr. Jones doesn't do e-mail, it's from after his time. I'm afraid that after reading your message to Dr. Jones on the phone, although he sympathizes with your plight, he simply does not have the time to help you out. You see, he's recently discovered evidence of a previously unknown culture, and he is trying to track down more information to win some archaeologist of the year award. There's a guy from Harvard also after the same tablets. I'm sure that given your academic affiliation, you'd support Dr. Jones' efforts! Just between you and me, he's been pretty stuck on this. He's trying to track down some special tablet with inscriptions that supposedly help divine important truths about the world. Although this civilization made many copies, he hasn't been able to recover any in good enough shape to really analyze. Between the challenge of finding the tablets and getting past the animals that seem to always be protecting them, he's become very stressed. If you helped him out, I'm pretty sure he'd return the favor. I'll forward you some of the work he's been doing, and perhaps you can figure out where they are. Good luck! All of the administrative support staff here at Marshall have been buzzing about your e-mail since it came in, and we're totally behind you! Irene Appleton Alyssa P.
