THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY~!
Nearly a dozen Police cars are parked outside the massive Gothic structure which is currently a hotbed of investigative activity. Approximately six hours earlier a rare gemstone known as the Eye of Tim, a coconut sized emerald on loan from Distant Lands (located between the Principality of Hither and the People's Republic of Yon) had been reported stolen by museum authorities. The theft was first noticed by one of the security guards who had come to relieve his partner for the early morning shifts. He was quite shocked to find not only the Eye of Tim missing from its display case, but also a strange women lying unconscious nearby, dressed in his partners uniform and handcuffed to a nearby bench.
The Museum staff are left baffled by this strange heist. The only sign the thief has left of his presence are a letter and a worn playing card depicting the Jack of Diamonds, both left in the display case that once housed the emerald. As for the strange woman, after much difficult questioning, investigators have concluded that she is most likely the missing security guard on duty from when the Eye of Tim was stolen. While the means of her transformation remain a mystery for the time being, investigators have ruled out the use of color energy as the cause.
The Museum is offering a monetary reward for anyone with information on the theft. The ambassador of Distant Lands is offering a further reward for the one who brings the criminal in and returns their national treasure!
