James sat mostly in silence for the meal, listening to the old man ramble on and taking note of some of what he was saying. Once he'd reached a lull in his story, James spoke up for the first time since the carriage ride up, addressing Luke.

"So what exactly is this project we're all up here to work on. I've been told something about a door or some such, and possibly a crypt. Excavation of a sort, in any sense, and compared to Tutankhamen's tomb. You've assembled a fine if eclectic group for the task, Mister Waechter, if I do say so myself."

He'd been hired on for his experience, mostly, and hadn't heard much more about the task at hand than what he'd been able to glean from the conversation on the way in, which didn't much suit him. He preferred to know everything about the job he was doing in detail, preferably with numbers and facts, measurements and maps, and as few vague areas as possible.

"Perhaps you could describe the cave-in site and the door itself to us so we know what to expect?"

Adam walked back into the room in the middle of everyone eating and talking, well after Lukas had finished speaking. "Sorry, everyone. Sorry, I just kind of got, well, sidetracked." Sitting, he turned to the head of the table and addressed specifically their host. "You have a wonderful library. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to learn the language, but I would love to look more at the library later, possibly with you, since it is yours and I'm sure you have some good books you could recommend. I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt anything all of you are talking about." He removed his jacket and lay it on the floor with the book on top. He looked around the table and saw Victoria.

"You know, I've been studying under Dr. Hooton back at Harvard on his studies into Physical Anthropology. He believes that the culture and advancement of a people is partially genetic and depends on race just as much as it does where they are or how they're raised. That's part of why they think..." He paused and remembered his dumb mouth. "Not, of course, that I agree with everything he says or thinks. I mean, science is forever, excuse the terminology, evolving."

With all of Adam's efforts, it seemed that the page wasn't going to return any time soon. A few silverfish fled from the man's efforts, and a significant amount of dust flurried out from under the shelf. It looked as if there was some sort of metal grate under the shelf, the page laying over it despite Adam's every effort for it to be anywhere else.

If a letter opener was pushed under the shelf in an attempt to retrieve the page, it would meet the metal grate, with a hollow metallic sound, and the page would fall into places unknown.
