"Paralyzed and stabbed in the back?" Grace grimaced as she looked down at the body of Demetrius Metaxas, a finance banker in Greece who was hunched over on a stone pillar. "What a way to go."
Turning her attention away from the body, she picked up the stone tablet she had found nearby on the grass. She had already uncovered it. The tablet read: 'Demetrius, the gods have a message for you.'
"I think if we can identify the particles that we found on the tablet, we may be able to figure out who engraved this tablet." Grace explains, handing the tablet and its contents to Jack. "Good idea. I'll send it over to HQ—what's that torn up piece of paper, by the way?" Grace turned her attention to where he was pointing. "Oh. Right. I think it could be relevant." Grace explains. "You think it could be a clue?" Jack smirks, "well alright, Grace. I think I've monitored you enough. I'll let you restore it!" He says with a wink before walking away. Grace just rolls her eyes and gets to work.

"It's a magazine." Grace announced, coming over to where Jack is leaning against a nearby tree. He gestures for her to hand it over.
There was a young woman in her early 20s on the cover of a magazine called The Business Times. In her hands, she held a sign that said "step down and die minister" and the byline noted that she was a protestor, one of many, who was protesting against the government.
"You think the message could be more than a political statement? A personal threat against the victim?" Jack suggests. "Maybe...we should send it to Gretta and Elliot so she can be identified."

The particles from the slab had been found to be from a nearby cave so Grace and Jack wanted to go there as soon as possible.
First though, they had to deliver the magazine.
"Think you two could identify this protester for me?" Grace asks, holding up the magazine in front of Elliot and Gretta. "You're serious? This will be so easy!" "Why do you think she's important? She could be anybody!" Gretta points out, interrupting Elliot's boasting. "See her sign? That could've been a threat and we can't leave anything out." Gretta shrugs. "Gotta admit though, I like her style. Just the right amount of anti establishmentism." "She's a suspect in a murder case, Gretta." Grace deadpans without a hint of amusement.
Gretta just shrugs again. "So?" Grace looks down at her to see if she's joking and then rolls her eyes. "You know what? Whatever. Just get it done!" "Yes, ma'am!"

Grace carefully maneuvered her way to the floor of the cave with Jack's help. "Thanks." She says to him, nodding curtly. "Any idea what we're looking for?" Jack asks her and Grace shakes her head. "No, but I have no doubt that I'll be able to find something." "This cave is unsettling, Grace. Like some mythological creature is ready to jump out at any minute—"
