The Story
Pedrinho and his crew had just returned from Rio where they had attended one of the finest sports events in the World. They had been sitting first row due to their excellent performance as explorers. Apparently their gold had been really important to the organizers.
Walking through the halls he revelled in the familiar smell of the Society. It was good to be home. To see the other explorers, but hey, what was up with Bia. She looked so... silent. Nah! Bia is always silent, nothing changed! Pedrinho walked on happy as ever. But then he heard his name. "Pedrinho." The Riot of Rio turned around to answer Bia. "Pedrinho, tell me about the games." He didn't have to be told to tell a story twice. Twenty minutes into a marvellous story about twirling athletes Bia sighed in the slightest. Pedrinho wouldn't be Pedrinho if it wasn't for his strengthened sense of even the tiniest social cues. "Whats up then, Bia?". "Nothing. I just hoped the Games would be more about Greece. I've been trying to learn more about the old Greeks.". Before Pedrinho could ask why, chairman Pinkerton butted in. "Ah, very well, Bia. I've got just the expedition for you. We've learned most of what we could from Athens and the like, but perhaps you can look into the Egyptiotes?"
