Characters Watching Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

The Egyptian Decryption Caper

Cleo: Well, do something. We need that relic in order to find our lost VILE treasure.

(Oxford)

Carmen: Jules, you were spot-on about India. Thank you. Sending new images your way.

Jules: Hm, the text is Egyptian, but in two different alphabets. Coptic, used during the medieval era, and hieroglyphs, dating far earlier to Ancient Egypt.

"Oh I love Egyptian history and mythology."Xifeng says.

"It's quite a fascinating subject. Egypt has such a long history." Jules says.

"Maybe I could pick your brain about it sometime?" Xifeng asks her and Jules smiles and nods.

Carmen: So we know the text on the relic was inscribed during the later period, by someone familiar with both.

Jules: Aren't you a quick study? Shall I assume you are catching the next flight to Egypt, and that I will inform you of further particulars once I decode them?

Carmen: Oh, now who's the quick study?

"Imagine if Jules had been working with us from the beginning." Zack says.

"Life would have been a lot easier." Ivy tells him.

(Carmen takes off not seeing Bellum's drone behind her.)

"And now VILE knows what you know." Chase says gritting his teeth.

Bellum: Carmen Sandiego is not the only one with eyes everywhere. And it seems that she has been relying upon her very own "codebreaker."

"Julia Argent, codebreaker. Perhaps that could my code name." Jules says chuckling.

"Better then most of the code names coming out of VILE." Chase tells her.

(Bat Plane)

Player: Zack and Ivy assured me Shadowsan's doing fine, Red. They're keeping him warm and cozy back at HQ.

Shadowsan lets out such a long sigh that Carmen is amazed he doesn't run out of breath.

"Finally get out of the cast and your stuck on bed rest again." Gray says.

Carmen: Good to hear. He's the closest thing I have to family. I'd like to keep him around.

"I assure you Carmen, I am not going anywhere." Shadowsan says. Those that don't know him well would probably miss the slight softening of his expression when he looks at her. He wasn't Professor Wolfe, but he loved the girl like she was his own.

Player: You sure you're gonna be okay on your own?

Carmen: I have all the backup I need on this one.

Player: Right. I'll ping our "secret weapon."

(Player adds Jules to the call.)

"I'm a secret weapon." Jules says smiling.

"You are easily the smartest person I have ever met, they are lucky to have you." Chase tells her.

Jules: Ah, perfect timing. I've managed to translate the medieval portion of the text. It mentions a "plateau," where something lies beneath "the tallest of three." I believe the riddle refers to Giza.

Player: The sight of the pyramids? Giza's located in Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile River.

Jules: And it is home to arguably the world's most famous pyramids, the Great Pyramid being the tallest of the three.
