In our last episode... Ryan and Atanaska successfully installed a tap to steal encryption keys from Lightwave. In so doing they exposed the seedy underbelly of the mob.
However, Ryan is becoming more ill by the day. After becoming infected months ago with vampirism, the disease is finally taking it's toll. The thirst has started and daily taste for murder wears at Ryan's already withered soul.
A benefactor provides Ryan with a simple message. "A cure has been found at 68W 20S." A simple note that launches the group in to South America. Flying to Brasilia they find Dr. Juan Cortez, an archeologist familiar with the ruins located at those coordinates. Cortez organizes an expedition and within a week Ryan, Atanaska and Amelia journey to the site. Being a full vampire, Amelia is carried as baggage by porters in to the wilds.
The sight contains a pyramid and a sacrifical pit. The pit descends to catacomb of ancient rooms. The rooms contain the tortured remnants of the "gods" the temple once served. The gods prove vulnerable to bullets and frag grenades. Eventually the puzzle to unlocking "the Hope" is solved. However "the Hope" has been lost in the centuries since being placed here. The room containing the hope is advanced and depicts a holographic image of a spot in orbit that can be used to find more of "the Hope" (thought to be the cure). A device is found that seems to relate to the message. Ryan pushes the button...
