Prologue


---by Volt


1945


    We find ourselves watching bombs go off over a building in Berlin. The body of what is claimed to be Hitler's is lying in the rubble as recovery men dig around for survivors. It is a great day of sadness for Germany - the once powerful country has just lost its most valuable asset...

    Indiana Jones, famed archaeologist, leads a seminar on ancient Egyptology. Directly across the hall from his father, who transferred to the school shortly after the adventure that brought him and his son closer together. He teaches… what else, but medieval literature. The teacher the students hope that they don't get...

    A familiar scene unfolds as Marcus strolls into the classroom and leans against the wall. Indy pauses, then attempts to continue. The bell tones before he can get out another word. "That will be all class." The students empty out, mainly girls, with bashful looks on their faces. Indiana walks out from behind the desk and smiles at Marcus. "What was once his, is now mine." Indiana smirks as he speaks. A look of both excitement and curiosity comes over Marcus' face. "You didn't… How did you…?" Before he can finish, Indy blurts out "It's a long story". He reaches into his desk drawer and pulls out the golden idol that was taken from him by Belloq so long ago...

    A few minutes later, after gawking over the idol, Marcus remembers why he stopped by. "There is a man waiting for you. He says it is quite urgent." "Urgent, huh?" Indy mumbles as he follows Marcus from the room. They proceed into the university lobby where a slick-looking government official stands waiting for Dr. Jones. The exchange greetings and take a seat.

    "I understand you are the man who supposedly recovered the Ark of the Covenant for us," says the official. "Not supposedly," says Indy annoyed. The man is obviously now uncomfortable and decides to come out with it. "You are the only living man who knows exactly how powerful the Ark is, Dr. Jones," he says quickly. Indy looks at Marcus and smiles, then back to the man, "If you want to know how it works, study it." He begins to stand and the man halts him, "Dr. Jones please, it is nothing like that." Indy sits back down, "Well?"

    "This is not as simple as that." "I will make this brief, Doctor. This is a retrieval operation." Indiana looks at Marcus irritated. "Retrieval."
