"Today is August 27th, 1904. Nine months ago, you, Emilia  Vittorini, joined the
Italian Archeological Expedition in Egypt led by Ernesto Schiaparelli, the
director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin. You are now back in Genoa, Italy: your
steam ferry arrived three days ago with 25 wooden boxes containing Queen
Nefertari Meritmut's grave goods, a real treasure! They left Genoa by train,
heading towards Turin, yesterday evening. While they were in transit, you were
invited to a sumptuous reception organised by a wealthy art lover, Eugenio
Collovati, count of Raligotto, but it would be hard to say that you appreciated 
the evening.

But the reception was yesterday: now, you must catch the train to Turin and 
check that the treasure arrived safely. I will be your eyes and ears. Good 
luck."
