WHAT IS THIS?
A PA new to Second Evolution. Takes place in Princebridge (formerly 
Giveaway) University. There are no options in this PA; Rena merely 
stumbles upon Claude, Ernest and blatant Indiana Jones references. 
Sadly, no voice acting in the English release.

*these are actions ...*

__________

*Rena finds Claude and Ernest hanging out in the hallways of the 
Princebridge University*

Rena: (<) (?) What're you two discussing?

*Claude and Ernest both (<)*

Ernest: Yo, Rena. 

Claude: We were just talking about how schools like these tend to make us 
nostalgic for the past.

Rena: Oh?

Ernest: *turns to Claude* By the way, you're an Earthling, right? It must've been a 
lot of fun studying there, yeah? With all those ruins you have and everything.

Claude: *turns to Ernest* You know about the ruins on Earth, Ernest?

Ernest: Well, you can't call yourself an archaeologist unless you are intimately 
familiar with Earth's heritage.

Claude: Oh, really? I guess I never noticed because I was raised on Earth. 
What in particular makes it so interesting to archaeologists?

Ernest: Hmm ... well, Egypt, for example! Why did they make those pyramids, 
those giant gravesites for their kings? 

Claude: Wow! You know about that!?

Ernest: I'd love to have a chance to see them with my own eyes someday.

Rena: (?) What do pyramids look like?

Claude: *turns to Rena* They're these triangular structures made by piling 
giant stones on top of each other.

Rena: (?) Wow. So what do they have inside?

Ernest: *turns to Rena* According to what I've read, they house complex 
labyrinths whic h contain the mummified remains of kings.

Claude: That's right.

Ernest: There's also a mine cart inside, and right under the tracks is a giant lava flow! 
Once the cart runs over the tracks, the whole thing collapses and burns.

Claude: (...) ...

Ernest: But they say that beyond all that lies a Silver Chalice that grants anyone 
who drinks from it eternal life! 

Rena: Wow! Incredible!

Claude: (sweat) Um ... Ernest ...

Ernest: The chalice is protected by three guardians, but a dark shadow is after the 
sacred relic! Can our hero get the Silver Chalice and rescue his father at the same time!?

Claude: (;;;) Hold on a second! There's nothing like that inside the pyramids, Ernest.

Ernest: (yellow!) Huh? But those sorts of adventures happened all the time in Earth ruins!

Rena: (Wow! Earth is amazing!)
[If you speak to Ernest] Ernest: So you're telling me that Earth isn't anything like
how it's described in those documents?

[If you speak to Claude] Claude: (sweat) Don't take any of that stuff seriously, Rena. 
It's not accurate at all.

Rena: Really!? It's all wrong?
