GRAMMATICA
-m
| Subject (nominative) | Direct Object (accusative) |
| charta | chartam |
| malus | malum |
| Lapis | Lapidem |
Operative, please note the role of the ending -m in these pairs of words.
Malus relinquit chartam
The bad man leaves behind a map: chartam is the object of relinquit
prope saxum
next to the rock: saxum is the object of prope.
In the first example, malus is the subject of the verb relinquit, because the bad man is the one doing the leaving. chartam is the object of relinquit, because the map is the thing being acted upon: the map is what is left behind. In Latin we give the subject an ending called the nominative case, and we give the object an ending called the accusative case.
Operative, you are advised not to get too comfortable with -m. We regret to inform you that -m will be used for several different things (for example, saxum ends in -m in its subject-form too), and that other endings will mark objects as well. For now, it is most important that you be aware that the difference between subject and object is shown in Latin by a difference in endings.

VERBA
| Latin | English | Part of Speech |
| agit | she/he does, drives | verb |
| dat | she/he gives | verb |
| per | through, across | preposition |
| tū | you | pronoun |
| venit | she/he comes | verb |
CULTURALIA
Operative, in this TSTT-immersion the TSTT draws on our knowledge of the Roman town of Pompeii to help you reach your mission objectives.
You will find information about Pompeii through the links in this section, and you are advised to use them as needed to improve your TSTT-attunement. In particular, the Demiurge advises that you learn as much as you can about Roman daily life (what Romans ate, what they wore, what they did all day), so that you can function as efficiently as possible in your immersions. The display of this attunement will be registered by the TSTT and rewarded with additional Latinity Points.
The Demiurge advises that a working knowledge of the structure of the Roman house will be of the utmost importance on several levels. You will need to find your way around a Roman house, locating rooms and the things in them. You will also be called on to think about how the structure of the Roman house relates to the workings of Roman society more broadly. Study the floor-plan diagram carefully and use it as a guide to your actions in the TSTT. Your informational text Domus Rōmāna walks you through the rooms one by one.
The Demiurge also advises that you look more closely at the atrium of the Roman house, and in particular at two of its features: the larārium (the household shrine) and the lectus geniālis (the symbolic marriage-bed). Consider whether modern houses hold anything that serves a similar purpose.
Sextus' villa in the TSTT's version of Pompeii is the very real House of Menander, excavated between 1926 and 1932. Operatives are encouraged to explore the features of this sprawling home.

reflect · recall your pathFor this Memorātiō, retrace what happened after you left the road. Who led you on from there, and where did they take you? You learned of two groups whose aims are very different: who are they, who leads each, and what does each want with the Lapis? Whom were you warned about, and why?
Keep careful notes on who stands where. As the operation goes on, knowing which side a person is on may matter more than you expect.
