Byzantine: The Betrayal - Part 3

@~Concluded from last issue

                  Tracking down the Smuggling Ring
Hotel de Londres
Talk to Detective Akalin. Exit to the map and go to the
university.

Istanbul University
Talk to Sharife. You enter the Ephesus Library simulation.

Ephesus Library Simulation
Go into the library and pick up the scrolls. Read them. Go into
the corner at the front of the library. Look at the words. The
data is incorrect.

Exit the simulation. Use the scanner to scan in the Ephesian
letters in the little bag you bought at The Arasta. Hand the
scanner over to Sharife.

Enter the simulation via the virtual reality visor again.

Go the corner of the library where you saw the words. Replace the
words as follows:

Replace    with
thought    dark
knowledge  truth
wisdom     year
virtue     sea

You go through the now open doorway and down to the sarcophagus.
The data is incorrect here too. Exit the simulation, exit to the
map and go to the Archeological Museum.

Archeological Museum
Do not go inside. Scan the sarcophagus outside the museum.  Turn
around to exit and you will see Detective Akalin and Nuray Uchan
talking. Talk to Nuray.

Exit to the map and return to the university

Istanbul University
Scan in the bronze medallion and ring. Hand the scanner over to
Sharife. Use the virtual reality visor to re-enter the Ephesus
Library simulation.

Ephesus Library Simulation
Return to the sarcophagus and place the scanned sarcophagus data
on the sarcophagus. Look at the sarcophagus. Place the scanned
bronze medallion on the similar symbol in the offering bowl.

Temple of Artemis Simulation
Look down and around and pick up the silver zodiac sign symbols.
Go into the temple. Pick up more zodiac sign symbols.  Look at the
offering table with nine indentations. Return to the front of the
temple. Turn left and look at the symbol next to the door. Use the
scanned ring data on this symbol. You go up to the gallery. Look
at the statue of Artemis. Explore. Pick up another zodiac sign
symbol. Return downstairs. Turn left and go outside.  Explore and
collect the rest of the zodiac sign symbols. You should have a
full set of twelve. But you only need nine!

Return to the offering table in the temple and from left to right
place the silver zodiac sign symbols in the indentations in this
order:

Pisces
Aquarius
Capricorn
Sagittarius
Scorpio
Libra
Virgo
Leo
Cancer

See the screenshots section for the zodiac sign table.

You will need to be careful. Some symbols are not so obvious so
you may need to check the astronomy constellation maps in the book
at the Book Bazaar. I was confused by Pisces.

When you complete this task, the simulation will end abruptly and
Sharife will be mad at you!

Exit to the map and go to the Archeological Museum.

Archeological Museum
Go upstairs to the curator and talk to her. Now you are getting
somewhere!

Exit to the map and go to the Nargile Bar.

Nargile Bar
Look at the lime, then notes the numbers in green on the tiles: 7
0 4 9.

Exit to the map and go to Gordion Construction.

Gordian Construction
Use the code 7049 on the combination lock and go inside. Get in
the elevator and you enter the office. Look at the ledger. Take
the papers from inside the ledger. Leave the way you came quickly.
Once outside, look at the notes. Note Eskander's signature!

Exit to the map and go to the Galatta Tower. (Eskander told you
earlier that Sharife goes here when she is troubled.)

                     Looking for Proof
Galatta Tower
Talk to Sharife. Show the papers from Gordian Construction to
Sharife. Sharife explains how Eskander is able to run the
smuggling ring. But you need proof or you are going to be arrested
instead of Eskander!

You enter another simulation: Aya Sofya.


Aya Sofya Simulation
Explore the simulation and find the following articles in these
locations:

Inner Narthex: helmet
Upper Gallery: dividers
Apse:          chalice and orb
Lower Gallery: flask.

Go to the omphalos in the nave and place the chalice in position,
followed by the helmet, then the dividers.

Go upstairs and put the flask on the Empress omphalos.

Return to the nave omphalos and place the orb. Save. Take the
diadem, then all hell breaks lose. You are in big trouble now! You
have limited time to prove Eskander's guilt.

Leave quickly and go through the drain. Enter the hard drive
simulation.

Hard Drive Simulation
Save. Find the representations of the smuggled artifacts using
this path through the hard drive simulation. In this 'room' is a
rectangular hollow in the wall. Click on it. This represents
system functions.

A simple map is in the screenshots section.

Click on Knot and then click on transactions. Take the copy of
transactions and click it on the hub, then the computer lab then
the hub again. If you do this in time, you won't be arrested.

Enjoy the closing sequences.
