The duo returned to their hotel, and Brandy was rather excited to spend her time relaxing before she had to go and start getting dressed for tonight's affair. She was rather surprised when Devin said he was going to explain all the information pertaining to the adventure. During the brief time that she has known him, she didn't take him as the type to lay all his cards out on the table. Of course it makes sense for him to do so. They were in this together. If she can prove to be a valuable asset, then she should get the whole picture.
Carrying her bags up to her room, she hung up her dress and set the shoes on the floor. Taking off her bag, she set it on the bed before heading next door. She knocked on the door and was let in immedeately. She sat down and crossed her legs. As soon as she was settled, he began explaining the whole story. Starting with the information that everyone knew, then adding in different connections he had found on his own.
He pulled out several papers, and Brandy craned her neck to quickly gaze over them. As Devin went further into detail of the dangerous secret Marco Polo was tasked with hiding, she soon found herself kneeling on the bed trying to take in all the information. It was as if a new position would somehow provide her with the perspective to handle this calmly.
When the compass was placed directly over Alexandria, it started to spin wildly. Brandy gasped and let Devin finish explaining. As he was finishing, she moved the compass to the other locations he had shown her. When it was anywhere else, it behaved like a normal compass. As soon as the small object was placed over their current location it began to spin. She moved the compass several times, almost as if she was trying to wait for the trick to wear off. But each time it did the same exact thing.
"I...I can't believe this." Brandy said finally looking up and meeting his eyes. "I mean this, this is really incredible. But what exactly are you trying to prove from all this? Find a weapon that can potentially destroy the world and use it as leverage to get whatever you want? Try to destroy it yourself without it destroying anything else? I mean, what could you possibly want with this thing?" She asked quickly.
It was fairly obvious that she was impressed with all the research and proof Devin laid out in front of her. At this point, Brandy whole-heartedly believed that Marco Polo really had hidden this ancient doomsday device in Alexandria. And she would love to track it down, but not if he was going to do something maniacal with it.
