It Had to Be You, Log 1/??? [Audio]

Hello?

[The audio crackles, buzzes into the correct tuning, and there's the click of a dial. A distinctive, very proper, English voice speaks over the comm unit. At least she's familiar with radio enough to manage this much.]

Is anyone there? This is...my name is Evelyn Carnahan, and this is not Cairo or Hamunaptra.

[A pause.]

I don't know where I am, and I was right in the middle of something very important, and this is exceedingly inconvenient. If someone could-

[Rustling noises.]

-if someone could please tell me what's going on, I need to find my brother, Jonathan, and our guide, Rick, as I was in the midst of an expedition, thank you, I'm in...I think it's a foyer.

...anyone?

[For those interested in seeing Evelyn in person, seeing as the last thing she can remember was falling into a river off of a boat, she's wearing a soaking wet nightgown. This. This will not stand. This is scandalous.]

[Dr. Brennan appears on the screen, looking a little more amused than one probably should in response to a message like this.]

I would definitely consider this place a downgrade from Cairo.

[Oh, my, another woman, finally. At least Evelyn is cleaned up and dried off now, thank goodness.]

Most places are a downgrade from Cairo, I'm afraid. And you are...?

[She smiles.]

I agree. Save for maybe Machu Picchu.

I am Doctor Temperance Brennan. Forensic anthropologist. And you?

Evelyn Carnahan. Ah... [Stating professions? Very well.] Egyptologist.

[She visually perks up.]

Egyptologist? So we're both anthropologists! How exciting!

Where are you from, Ms. Brennan? And what exactly does a forensic anthropologist do?

I'm from Chicago, but I've been working in Washington D.C. for the past eleven years.

[She continues about her profession without skipping a beat.]

As a forensic anthropologist I study the human skeleton and how life's events affect it. I then use my knowledge to help solve murders in which the victim's body is too badly decomposed for other forensic investigative methods.

[She smiles, clearly proud of herself. She probably looks like she's bragging, but in fact she's just excited that she's found a way to describe her profession in two sentences.]

[Washington D.C.? She's never visited the District of Columbia before! And what a curious profession.]

So you're a type of investigator?

[Ew, decomposing bodies, ew.]

[She nods.]

Yes. I work with an agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate murders.

Murders.

[Wow. That's...oh, goodness.]

...are there very many murders in the District of Columbia?

Last year in Washington D.C. there were 186 murders, with another 234 in Baltimore. But because I work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I've worked on murder cases all over the United States. In the entire United States, 14,180 murders were documented. Of course, the majority of the murders I work on aren't documented until much later.

[All the while, he face is like she's talking about what she had for breakfast.]

Oh my word, you can't be serious. That's ridiculous! What...

[Oh, right.]

What year are you from?

[Evelyn's reaction is quite confusing. Is she really so naive?

Oh, the year they each come from is a rather significant variable...]

I come from 2009. What about you?

[Another one from the two-thousands?]

...Nineteen twenty-six.

[AND A DAMN GOOD YEAR IT IS, TOO.]

Wow! I would love to have been alive in 1926! It was such a great time for science and exploration!

It...it is, I suppose, quite a bit of exploring is being done in the Middle East. It's a bit difficult to get one's footing in society, but pleasant, regardless.
