Byzantine: The Betrayal - Part 2

@~Continued from last issue

Istanbul University
You talk to Sharife. Eskander enters, they talk, then leave.

You exit to the map. Go to the Archaeological Museum.

Archaeological Museum
Go into the building with wide steps and go upstairs. Show the
woman your press pass then follow her into her office. She is the
Curator. Talk to her. Go downstairs and find Nuray in the
Alexandrine exhibit. Talk to her. She leaves. Leave the building
and you will meet the Detective Akalin again. Be co-operative!
Exit to the map and go to Emre's apartment.

Emre's Apartment
Sharife is waiting for you here. Talk to her and offer to help.
Pick up the newspaper and read it. Note the astrological table.
Read the note pinned to the door way. Go into the apartment. Look
at the floor by the door. Pick up the package and inspect it. Play
the cassette in Emre's audio system in the other room.

Sharife wanted you to repair the Basilica Cistern simulation. Exit
to the map and enter the Basilica Cistern simulation.

Basilica Cistern Simulation
Explore until you find the missing data. Exit the simulation and
go to the Basilica Cistern.

Basilica Cistern
Go down to the Cistren and find the Tear Drop Pillar. Try scanning
it. It is too humid! Mmmmm! What other leads do you have?  Better
follow up that note from Izzet.

Book Bazaar
Go to the Book Bazaar. Ignore the jewellery merchant. Talk to the
book merchant. Look at the books. The merchant will let you take
one of them. Look at it. Emre has marked it up. Look at the
astronomy book on the stand very carefully. You may need this
information later. Look at the newspaper article about the sales
of a liturgical fan.

Now you have another lead. Exit to the map and go to The Arasta.

The Arasta
Go into the shop and buy one of the little bags. Look at the
contents. Exit to the map and go to the Archaeological Museum.

Archaeological Museum
Enter the main building again. Go upstairs to the curator and
show her the book marked up by Emre. Show her the drawing you
found in the box in Emre's apartment.

Explore the exhibits. You should find Hilary Peebles in the
Byzantine exhibit. Talk to him. Show him the photo of the Tear
Drop column. He will tell you there is another tear drop column at
the Forum of Theodosius.

Forum of Theodosius & Galata Tower
Exit to the map and go to the Forum of Theodosius. Scan the tear
drop column, then run away from Carlo to the bushes opposite the
car. Eskander sees you and takes you to Galata tower.

Exit to the map and go into the simulation.

Basilica Cistern Simulation
Find the isolated pillar with missing data and place the tear drop
scan on it.

Explore the Cistern and in each location pick up the following
items:

South Ramp:  forceps & rope
East Wall:  treadmill
South West Corner:  three engineering supports
West Wall:  frame, wooden rod and iron implement
Center:  rope & tackle and bronze implement
North Wall:  frame

The layout of the Cistern simulation in the Screenshots section
should help: In the north west corner by the Medusa heads, remove
all the loose floor tiles with the iron implement.

Use the bronze implement on each of the bronze Medusa heads
and move them according to the note about the twin girls. They
should end up in the positions shown in the Screenshots section.

Now construct the engineering apparatus: Put up the frames first
then add the rope & tackle. Place the taller support on the far
side, then place a support on the near side. Put the wooden rod in
position between the supports, then place the treadmill on the rod.
Place the last support in position. Attach the forceps & rope.
If you need help, see the diagram of the Roman hoist from the
"Roman Engineering" book:

Operate the apparatus by clicking on the forceps, then the
treadmill. When the block has been lifted as high as possible jam
the treadmill with the iron implement.

Look in the hole. You find the liturgical fan. Take it.

You exit the simulation to the map. Go to the Hotel de Londres.
