Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life Page #2

Synopsis: Intrepid British archaeologist Lara Croft has made perhaps the most important archaeological discovery in history: an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box. Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of Jonathan Reiss, an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon. Recruited by British Intelligence to get the orb back from Reiss, Lara recruits Terry Sheridan, a British marine turned mercenary (and her former love interest) to help. The two embark on an adventure that spans continents in an attempt to regain the orb...

I have no interest in...

His name is Chen Lo...

...along with his brother Xien,

he runs a gang of Chinese bandits

known as Shay Ling.

They deal in gun, diamonds

and antiquities, anything that.

Chen Lo can sell them in the black market.

They've followed you the moment

you arrived at Santralina.

where they killed your friend Gus

and sank his boat.

Why?

For this.

After you were picked up in sea...

...our listening post in

Mota intercepted that fax...

...it was sent from Chen Lo to a

man named Jonathan Reiss.

What, a scientist?

won a Nobel Prize.

He is now the foremost designer of

biological weapons in the world.

His creation has been in the heart of...

...every active bio-terror

in the past 15 years.

Reiss's disdain for life is legendary.

He has no political agenda.

He doesn't care who his

weapons kill or why.

A modern-day Dr. Mengelen.

We know Chen Lo followed you

in order to obtain the orb.

we also know he'll deliver it to Reiss.

What we don't know is why.

Candidly, that terrifies us.

Pandora's box.

Reiss is going to use the orb

to find Pandora's Box.

Do you mean the Greek myth?

Pandora was given a box by God,

told not to open it, she does...

...and unleashes pain into the world.

That's the Sunday school version, yes.

How do you think life began?

Shooting stars, primordial ooze.

In 2200 B.C.. an Egyptian Pharaoh...

...found a place he named

the Cradle of Life...

...where, we, life, began...

...and there he found a box...

...the box which brought life to earth.

The Pharaoh opened the box...

...but all that was left inside

was Ramante, or empty life,...

...the plague which came

as the companion to life.

Companion?

Nature is about balance.

All the world comes and passes.

yin and yang, right and

wrong, men and women,

what's a pleasure with pain?

What did this plague do?

It leveled the Pharaoh's army.

The Pharaohs's son dispatched...

...the finest soldiers to take the box,

and transport it to the end of the world.

the Great reached India...

...where his army was ravaged by a plague.

After one of his men found a box

among some of the men.

India, that's what the

Pharaoh's men wrote it.

Alexander felt that...

...the box was too powerful to be trusted to

any man...

...so he returned it to its home

the Cradle of Life.

And it has not been seen since.

And this Cradle of Life is where?

No one knows.

Alexander found it using a map

that was with the box.

a map he then hid from the world.

But the name he gave this map...

...was Mati and the literal translation for

the word Mati is 'eye'.

it orbits the map...

...hidden in the Luna Temple by Alexander.
