Let's Play Broken Sword 2 #17: Searching the Ketch Museum
110Nico may be frantically in pursuit of the thief of the stone in England but for George, there's no time constraint beyond the upcoming eclipse and the nagging thought that at any moment, Karzac or his associates could descend upon where he is and take him out with ease. George isn't one to let that get to him however as he searches the small museum on Ketch's Landing for either the stone or clues as to where it's located.
He's not alone in this endeavour either,as Emily Ketch is on hand to help him out with any gaps in his knowledge about her distant ancestor's accomplishments. If she'll actually tell us anything about them is another matter for though she has an insatiable curiosity, it's paired up with the carefree ignorance the young have for the wider world. This ignorance is slowly shattered as they age and the bubble of space that is 'their world' grows larger and eventually bursts, revealing to them the sheer scale of the infinite and ancient universe and that they are, in comparison to it, insignificant and so fleeting that they practically never existed at all.
Perhaps Emily already knows this and has blissfully accepted her position in the cosmic order of the universe, or perhaps she'd found a way to defy that by breaking the fabric of reality. Either way we're not going to get much help from her, so it's up to George and his know-how to solve the mystery before him in the Ketch Museum and we all know how all-encompassing that is, don't we?
