"You know of the plot?" asked Nefertiri, raising a kohl-shadowed eyebrow. "Please, tell me your news. Any piece of information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be the key to preserving Caesar's life. You may know things we do not."

Story nods at Caelia while quickly re-evaluating everything he knows so far before speaking.

Re: IC-Ep 1-A Royal Audience(Everyone else)
Spurius in all curiousness mumbles from back so that only group can hear but not Nefertiri and Adelphus ...'Arent we supposed to ask questions instead of giving away what we know...can we not invite them to town for healthy and friendly talk..they will also enjoy festival at forum?'

While Spurius mumbles to the group Story momentarily turns away from Caelia and Nefertiri. Then turning back around he says, "Foretold events are not something that can be messed with my dear Nefertiri. Adelphus should know that. When an attempt to subvert Fate does occur she has a tendency to lash out in the most nasty of ways. Tread lightly for Fate heeds no one, human..." Briefly glancing at Adelphus, "or otherwise."

Artemis' mind races with the information that has been shared with him. Who would plot such a thing against Ceasar, surely not someone in the military, he thought to himself. He catches the eyes of the woman who had shared this news and asked for their collective assistance. He smiles and nods in agreement indicating that he would help with her efforts.

"We thank you for your support and aid," Nefertiri told Artemis. "In addition to sharing information with us, we could use you to be our eyes and ears in Rome. Unearth whatever you can find in your investigations, and report it back to us. Time is short, so we must move quickly."

Caelia says to Nefertiri, "I'm afraid I have no knowledge personally, yet; but I have good connections and may be able to find something out if you know where I could look. I may also be on hand at the games tomorrow, helping to patch up the wounded competitors."
Re: IC-Ep 1-A Royal Audience(Everyone else)
"Excellent," said Nefertiri, smiling at Caelia. "I knew we could depend upon you."
Adelphus had been deep in thought at Spurius's words. "Is it even possible to cheat Fate, I wonder?" he said.
"If everything is predestined, why do anything?" Nefertiri replied. "Why strive towards a goal? Why eat? Why even breathe? If you were fated to live, would you not still live? No, there is no fate but what we choose, Adelphus."
"And yet, my auguries have always come to pass."
"What is the good in knowing the future if you cannot do anything about it?"

Re: IC-Ep 1-A Royal Audience(Everyone else)
"Kind lady," Artemis turns towards Nefertiri and addresses her, "are there certain people we should be looking for regarding this plot against Caesar?"
Re: IC-Ep 1-A Royal Audience(Everyone else)
Caelia turns in surprise as Artemis speaks and then tries to hide her puzzlement; who is this person? He certainly wasn't with them outside the palace and she doesn't remember him coming in with the group. She hopes she isn't asked to explain his presence too. Still, he seems alright and helpful enough.
She regains her composure and says to Adelpus, "I have treated many people for sickness and injury; some came before me with foretold certainty that this was their end, but, with medical intervention they went on to live for many more years. The gods may decide our ultimate fate but maybe they look favourably on those who make an effort to help themselves." She casts a brief eye up to watch out for thunderbolts.

"Wisely spoken," said Nefertiri to Caelia.
"Indeed, you are as wise as you are beautiful," said Adelphus. "Your patients' fates were not avoided, merely postponed. All men must die in the end, for they are all mortal. We could save Caesar, and my vision could still come to pass at a later time. Who is to say that my vision will not be fulfilled on the Ides of March in a future year, or that Caesar will not be merely wounded rather than slain? As to who may be involved in this plot, I suspect the gladiator Aricus Callidus Gladio. He chased me back at the Forum, but I managed to elude him. There is also Senator Decimus Brutus Albinus. He has arranged for the gladiator to fight in his games tomorrow. I do not know who else to suspect."

Brook stands thinking, frowning a bit as she struggles with her dilemma. Glancing to Story, she shrugs a little and gives a half smile, not sure what to do.

Story looks at Adelphus and says, "It will come to pass. There is no stopping it, the only thing for you to do is prepare for it. Do not be a fool and tinker about with things that are not yours to change. You were graced with a glimpse to prepare... not stall, not alter." Stroking his chin he continues, "I'm telling you... don't. Don't change what the heavens have decreed. Everything has a season and whether good or bad they must come to an end. All we can do is make the most of the time we've been granted. Your gift is just that... a gift, to prepare you and those closest to you. Again, I urge you do not attempt to cheat fate..." Looking around at everyone he says, "Some events, some circumstances are meant to happen in a very specific way... to disturb the event will have ramifications that will reverberate through time and forever change the future." Returning his gaze to Adelphus he concludes, "You my good Adelphis are no Lord of time, merely a favored servant as your gift attests to. Use it wisely!"

"I just don't know..." said Adelphus. "If Caesar falls, all is lost!"
"Perhaps not," said Nefertiri, deep in thought. "There may be another way, but we must at least do our best to save him. I cannot stand by and do nothing, knowing that he will die if I do not act. In any case, seeking out the truth of this matter is not the same as altering the events to come. There are dark forces at work here that must be stopped. And if, despite our best efforts, we fall to stop them, Caesar must still be avenged."

'...let me also help..'Spurius looking down to floor standing still...'lady Caelia, give me chance to help these people..'; Spurius then looks towards Adelphus;'i can be on guard duty for you back at forum, in case anyone tries to chase you back to the Palace...again'
