Episode 9.3.a
>Vīlla Septimī, Southwest of Londīnium, Britannia, 81 CE<
ubi in vīllā Septimī excitāminī, Septimus cēram tenet et sublevat. "crīmen contrā Lūcrētiam!" inquit. "est fābula nōtissima, sed etiam trīstissima.
vōs exspectanter spectat, sed iterum nōn ēvānēscitis.
Septimus sibi mussat, in tablīnum intrat, revenit, et tibi pīlulam dat. "errōrem illum invenīre dēbēmus!" exclāmat. intereā ēvānēscitis.
>Rōma, in domō Collātīnī, 509 BCE<
dēorsum spectātis, et vestīmenta servōrum geritis. in peristȳliō vīllae ingentis stātis, et exspectātis, dum in tablīnō colloquium gravissimum agitur. prope vōs fēmina stat, pallium ātrum gerēns. quattuor hominēs in tablīnō intentē inter sē loquuntur, itaque nōn vident fēminam pūgiōnem tenēre et eum īnspicere.
fēmina est Lūcrētia, uxor Collātīnī. Sextus Tarquinius, fīlius rēgis, eam graviter laesit, et, ut ipsa putat, pudor Rōmānus hoc ab eā poscit. vultus eius quiētus est, sīcut fēminae quae iam cōnsilium cēpit.
Prompt: Discover what is going on, and find a way to prevent the woman from using the dagger. (You are servants; you cannot shout, or she will act at once. Reason from within Roman values, not modern ones.)
