A transcribed telephone conversation between Ms. M. Lemay and Dr. A. Gramática.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Hello, Melanie?
M. LEMAY
Álvaro, you must be on your way here.
A. GRAMÁTICA
I'm in Toronto, on layover. Should be in Montreal around nine tonight.
M. LEMAY
Ring me if you need something. A taxi or a restaurant recommendation.
A. GRAMÁTICA
I will. Did you have a look at the documents I sent you?
M. LEMAY
I did, and I'm... I'm stunned.
A. GRAMÁTICA
We all are. It's incredible, isn't it?
M. LEMAY
And you're sure about the dates?
A. GRAMÁTICA
As near as we can be. We're confident those images were taken a century or two after the Toba catastrophe.
M. LEMAY
I've never seen such strange architecture.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Few people have.
M. LEMAY
Do you have any footage of this? Why just still images? A Sage should have more genetic memories than that.
A. GRAMÁTICA
They do. But the earliest memories are always the hardest to disentangle. They're difficult to parse. But we're getting there.
M. LEMAY
I imagine you'll want to find more Sages then?
A. GRAMÁTICA
That's the plan. We're always on the lookout for old DNA. The Sages should be our best source-.
M. LEMAY
And blood vials, I'd imagine. Like Edward Kenway found.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Blood vials, too. And relics. All very valuable. And if we're lucky enough to find another Piece of Eden, that might help.
M. LEMAY
Well, I'll put one of my researchers on this. Any references to Sages or blood vials, I'll pull them up.
A. GRAMÁTICA
That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks Mel. You holding up?
M. LEMAY
I am, thanks. Just prepping early for VEX this year. We've got some great things lined up.
A. GRAMÁTICA
I've heard. I look forward to it...
