About This Scenario

How It Starts

“Director, it's 2AM and our thermal sensors just registered a 4-degree spike in Gallery C. That's where the Ming vases are housed. And I'm still seeing no movement on the Frankfurt shipment. Care to explain how you plan to open a museum without its centerpiece collection?”

This is how Dr. Helena Blackwood - Board of Trustees Chairwoman's greeting will start.
