Cairo-bound

Finally the group were ready to head for Aegypt. They boarded their ship at Southampton and settled in for the journey. The trip was uneventful but gave the Colonel the opportunity to brief the team on what to expect and what they were looking for.

In Cairo, their first goal was to locate a guide that Hunter had mentioned. This man should be able to take them as close to their destination as any European had ever gone before. Hunter had given the Colonel precise instructions on how to find the man so he did not expect any difficulties. Unfortunately, Cordelia’s knowledge of Aegyptian was restricted to ancient varieties of that tongue, which caused some problems. Still, they eventually found Nyle Tours Ltd (Osman Rashid, prop. Founded 1898). The negotiations were hard fought. Throckmorton knew from experience that the people of Aegypt were some of the best hagglers in the world, and Osman Rashid was no exception. Still, he eventually agreed to guide them for an exorbitant rate that he claimed was in fact going to leave his entire family as paupers even unto his great great grandchildren.
