The year is 1938, and Indiana Jones is just finishing up a class in Archeology. As the class is dismissed, Dr. Marcus Brodie walks in to tell Indiana that, once again, the world of antiquities is in dire need of his services. Those mysterious entities in high government positions who feel only Dr. Jones can solve these great emergencies, has once again contacted Dr. Bodie to tell him that the Headpiece of Ra has been stolen from a museum in Cairo. Indiana remembers this particular piece, as it helped to solve the riddle of the hiding place of the lost Ark several years before.
Incensed as always about people wanting to keep pieces of antiquity in personal collections, over having them in museums, Indy tells Marcus there is only one place where the artifact could possibly be sold - somewhere in Morocco - and wants to leave immediately. There have been rumors that Emir Halud Al’Umbra has been wanting the Headpiece to be able to give the priceless ruby it contains to the husband of his daughter on her wedding night….a gift in addition to her virginity.
Indiana Jones insists on leaving immediately, and quickly catches a flight into Cairo where he can inspect the museum and speak to the curator. There had been no signs of a visible break-in, indicating that it was an “inside” job. Also, there were indeed rumors of an unscrupulous antique dealer in either Marrakech or Casablanca claiming to have the piece and willing to sell it to the highest bidder. Indiana heads to the airport but is unable to get on a flight for several more days. Somebody at the airport tells him it might be faster if he charter a flight. The man he speaks with recommends the pilot at the very end of the tarmac.
As Indy approaches the plane, he finds the pilot under the engine cowling deep in concentration.
“Excuse me, but I need get to Casablanca and money is no object.”
==============================================
I stop at the unmistakable sound of his voice. My name is Sydney Baker, but people call me Syd for short. I was once a promising Archeology student of Dr. Jones a few years back - he had even considered making me his protégé, and encouraged me to work towards my doctorate in Archeology, a field I absolutely love. But then a handsome young pilot entered my life, and flying soon became my passion. After graduating from college, I scrapped, begged, and pleaded enough money to buy my pride and joy --a 1934 Piper Cub. Through a series of mishaps, my pilot left me high and dry, so to speak, and I wound up in Cairo chartering wealthy Americans and Europeans to exotic destinations. I was hoping to save enough money to go back home, but so far I’d been in this dump for 2 years and no sign of leaving.
I take stock of how I must look…..shoulder-length auburn hair tucked up under my cap, dirty coveralls bagging about me, and I’m sure more than one grease smudge to highlight my high cheekbones and green eyes. But, damn, Indy! Here! Why? We’d had a brief, but passionate interlude while I was in college, but when I left, he was so disgusted with me he never wanted to talk to me again. I turn slowly….wondering if he still recognizes me…
“Indiana Jones. What do ya know? Remember me? So how much you willing to pay for my baby to fly you to Casablanca?”

OOC: This thread already has some players cast, but I invite anyone who wishes to join to just jump in and have a good time. The players we have already are:
Indiana Jones Ariosto
Sydney Baker (pilot/Indy’s partner) SexyChele
Acabar Al'Umbra (son Emir Al'Umbra) Xantham
Ashalanton Al'Umbra (Acabar's sister) MtnAngelWV
Abdul (antique dealer) Black Bart
Elaine Davis (Abul's assistant) Ticklish Girl
But, by all means, there is room for more, including Dr. Brodie and Sully (the Egyptian who has provided invaluable help to Indy), and other various and assorted good and bad guys. Now, granted George Lucas has not provided us with very many female characters in the Indy series, however, I would encourage the return of Willie (I.J. and the Temple of Doom) or the appearance of the evil Dr. Ilsa Schneider (I.J. and the Last Crusade), along with the creation of any other female characters that might add to the story.
And, should you choose not to be involved, I invite you to sit back, read, and enjoy!
