SOMEWHERE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA - JOHN'S FAMILY TREE

INT. ELIZABETH SWANN – FORWARD LAB – NIGHT
Digital screens glow softly in the dark. HAL’s avatar flickers on a panel. DAN lounges with a half-empty Solar Cola, watching readouts scroll.

HAL (V.O.) 
DNA sequence complete. Preliminary lineage analysis suggests our captain’s ancestry traces back… to ancient Rome.

Dan perks up.

DAN 
Let me guess. Mark Antony?

HAL 
Precisely. Records are scattered, but consistent enough to indicate nobility washed through the centuries.

He pauses, his tone more thoughtful.

HAL (CONT'D) 
Marcus Antonius had many children. Most died young… but some lines survived.

DAN 
Okay, Hal. Lay it out. Which branch?

HAL 
Candidates include Antonia Major, Antonia Minor… Julia Agrippina.

DAN 
Agrippina the Younger? Bit shaky, Hal. Claudius adopted heirs. And had kids who didn’t survive.

HAL 
So... no secret children?

DAN 
Nothing’s impossible, but let’s think this through.

He sips again, eyes narrowing.

DAN (CONT'D) 
Claudius married Agrippina. Her son, Nero, was adopted. Claudius did father Britannicus and Claudia Antonia — both dead young.

HAL 
Acknowledged. No surviving direct line from Claudius confirmed.

DAN 
Still think John looks like a Roman general.

HAL’s screen pulses.

HAL 
Then let us explore Cleopatra’s line. Through Mark Antony.

DAN 
Ah, the twins: Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene.

HAL 
Alexander vanished from records. But Cleopatra Selene married Juba II, King of Mauretania. Their bloodline continued.

Dan nods.

DAN 
Now that’s a possibility. Royal intermarriage… Mediterranean spread… plausible.

Hal pauses as if computing.

HAL 
No modern Italian claims direct Roman descent. Cultural ties, yes. Lineage, less so.

Dan stretches, popping open a fresh Solar Cola.

DAN 
Ptolemy of Mauretania — last king. His descendants could’ve mingled into European nobility.

HAL 
Concurred. Movement and intermarriage among dynasties make tracing possible, though indirect.

DAN 
With Cleopatra Selene executed—or not—we lean on probabilities. No record confirms her death. Her reign had impact.

HAL 
Statistically, her survival and lineage through Juba II offers highest continuity.

Dan reclines, satisfied.

DAN 
Queen Drusilla of Mauretania — daughter of Julia Urania. That line might’ve made it through. If so… boom, we’re staring at a living descendent.

HAL 
DNA supports geographic origin. Ancestral cluster aligns.

Dan blinks.

DAN 
So… John and Cleopatra meeting wasn’t chance?

Hal’s screen flickers.

HAL 
I don’t believe in coincidences. Especially when prophecy and genetics align.

They fall silent. The ship hums softly.

Hal watches the data. Dan stares into his fizzing drink.

Somewhere below deck, JOHN sleeps beside CLEOPATRA.

And perhaps, somewhere above them, Isis and Anubis whisper still.
