-''to be added''
+Benny is on [[Jovellia]] to investigate a [[church]] that has beautiful stone tiles hidden under layers of plaster. She is to remove the plaster and record the [[mosaic]]s, then preserve them until a team can arrive. One rainy day as she works on the [[scaffolding]] she falls off. When she hits the wood floor, she falls through into a tunnel. She explores a bit until she sees a humanoid [[skull]] in a graveyard.
+Benny heads back to her room at a [[tavern]] and contacts Detective [[Jasmyn]]. He won't be able to get there for several days, so he deputises Benny to investigate what he considers a crimescene.
+Back at the church, Benny examines the first skull. When she picks it up, there is something cold and flat on it which gives her a static charge when she touches it. She suddenly starts to hear a voice in her head.
+The skull talks to her telepathically. It has optic implants that allow it to see, and it is part of a telepathic network. It wants her to dig up the other skulls or it will detonate. She agrees, and as she digs, she tells the skull about something similar she experienced before: a telepathic network connecting soldiers together.
