CIA, LANGLEY, USA - THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION

DARPA's head, had to almost threaten Jack Mason, who did not want any part in it, but then DARPA told Jack his contact, John, would be able to visit Cleopatra every day. And it would only be for a week at most. On that basis, Jack was prepared to try and negotiate.

"Hello, Jack Mason calling Elizabeth Swann, come in. Over"

Hal need not have bothered, but: "John, a call for you from that nice Mr Mason"

"Thanks Hal, I'm on it. Hello Jack. What ails thee, friend from Langley?"

"John, the big brass have asked me to find out if it might be possible for our specialist doctors to give your guest a check up."

John was silent. Jack continued: "If you are amenable, they want to be sure that the lady is in good health and firing on all six cognitively. All expenses paid, and they are talking of a very sizeable contribution to a good cause of your choice, for inconveniencing your party."

John looked to Cleopatra. The reincarnated queen gestured to show she felt fine, with a shrug and hand gesture.

"Hold on Jack." John muted the mike.

The Swann was cruising the Mediterranean, en-route to Greece, Hal and Captain Nemo at the helm.

"Are you sure", said John to Cleopatra, his concern very much evident.

"Well, I must admit to feeling caught in a whirlwind of learning. The world now is so changed and exciting. So, yes, I am in a confused state."

"But if it's just to see doctors?" said John.

"Just a medical examination, so long as you are with me." Cleopatra beamed. "You are the only people I trust. Come to think of it, you are the only people I know in this modern age, who treat me as a person. And I unreservedly love this ship already, weapons or no. I love the water."

Dan smiled. Hal interjected, "Analysis of our guest's vocal communications and onboard sensors, indicate a high level of intelligence, problem solving and accelerated learning. Linked to metabolic pre-eminence."

Dan and John together, "I'd agree with that." John continued, except for the metabolic thing."

It was difficult for John to judge anything to be normal, when he was still undergoing physical changes, from his Amazon encounter.

"Hello Jack, are you there? Over."

"Yes buddy. What are your thoughts? Over."

"We were heading for Piraeus. A sort of cultural prod. Then into the Aegean, to Thessaloniki. We could cancel and rendezvous somewhere convenient. Say Crete. Does that suit the medical team, and are they from the World Health Organization? Over."

"Not exactly, though they are a player." Jack parried the innocent assumption. "What are you plans after Greece? Over."

"Back to Egypt for a while. Though an oceanographer chum has requested the Swann for a survey of activity off Jamaica, the Olde Port Royal. Over." 

"Jamaica, the sunken city hit by a tsunami in 1692, wasn't it?" said Jack, unable to contain himself.  "As I said, they'd cover all expenses, including a trans-Atlantic run. Both ways buddy. Over."

"Hold on again Jack."

"Cleopatra, how do you fancy seeing a New World first hand?"

She thought for a moment, then said, "I don't want to upset your schedule John, Dan, and you Hal. But I am thrilled to see familiar coasts. You have been so thoughtful. Thank you for making me feel so unconditionally welcome."

Dan chimed in, "why not complete a circuit of the Aegean, then if our guest feels comfortable, pop across The Pond."

Hal interjected, "it will be educational, watching progress on our instruments. Miss Cleopatra may find the West Indies culturally appealing."

Cleopatra thought for a few more moments. "As long as I'm with you John." She blushed a little, and so did John. "I love learning, and experiencing new things. The West Indies sounds intriguing." Cleopatra clasped John's right hand in both of hers, looking deep into his eyes. They both had a déjà vu moment, of somehow belonging together. "I like being on the water, and this boat ... it's incredible."

Dan felt a little awkward. Hal knew exactly what the attraction was.

"Jack, over."

"Hi buddy, over."

"If it's just a medical and I'm on hand. Over."

"We could give you the once over too John. I noticed you feeling a little unwell, and perspiring a lot in Egypt?"

John knew about the US military's human enhancement programmes and the DSTL's biological warfare laboratory in England, and was suspicious of any government in this regard.

"Let's just stay with a medical for Cleopatra. Who's in charge? Over."

"Not entirely sure, Raengst is somewhere in the chain I think. And, just 'Cleopatra' is fine by me buddy. See you in Jamaica, Port Royal, in a couple of weeks I guess? Let me know when you get there. Over and out."

Hal chimed in, "thought you should know that the CIA are presently tracking us via satellite, John."

"Of course they are," responded Dan."

"We'll proceed with caution. We don't want to upset our cousins if we don't have to. You know how touchy they can get. Is that okay with everyone?"

Curious, Cleopatra asked, "what is a satellite?"

Dan explained, "it's like a bird flying very high in the sky, following us, and telling it's master where we are."

"Except it is a mechanical bird," said Hal.

"Talking of which, better let Charley know our new destination. Can you message her Hal?"

"Your wish is my command, John."

"Oh. And bring George up to speed at the same time, encoded, we may need his input. I smell a rat. And, plot a course to Port Royal, or what is left of it. So, that is Kingston."

The route that the Elizabeth Swann would take to arrive at Kingston, some 5468 nautical miles through the Mediterranean Sea, across the North Atlantic Ocean, to the Caribbean Sea. They would pass through the rim of the traditional Sargasso Sea, where the giant brown floating algae has been known to snag small ship propellers.

"John. If you smell a rat, why are we going along with it?" questioned Cleopatra.

Because, if I'm right, we can take the fight to them. If I'm .... we, are wrong, no harm done. But if we don't figure this out now, and I, er, we, are right. They can hit us when we won't expect it, giving them the advantage."

Cleopatra thought for a while. John, Dan and Hal waited patiently. She paced the Swann's cabin for several minutes. Then finally said, "okay, so I'm, uhumm, we are bait to draw them out. Am I right?"

"That about sums it up. We are sitting ducks if we let them strike when we least expect it."

Hall chimed in, "we give them the benefit on the doubt, and allow them to reveal their true colors."

Dan interjected. "They want you Ms, and they want John and all the Nazi equipment they must know we have taken from Manaus. If they knew the capabilities of Hal, and that we helped you both, they'd want us eliminated."

"But that is only if we're right about their intentions," said John.

Cleopatra again paced the helm cabin with a concerned look on her classically attractive face. Finally she explained, "tactically, I agree we have very little option. First the Germanians, and now this CIA, that Jack works for, could be far worse. It is somewhat like the games I played when I was Queen of Egypt."
