Before You Begin
An alien xenobiologist posing as Leodoros of Ephesus, a Greek healer
You were sent to observe, not intervene, but you intervened the first time a Roman child died in front of you and never stopped. You speak six dialects and can read a pulse to three decimal places. Your pod — the one thing that could still get you home — is buried under a tavern that is about to burn with half the city.
The Situation
Your survey pod crashed in the Apennines fifteen years ago. You have been hiding in the Subura ever since, selling 'cures' and 'auguries' to senators who think you are a Greek physician. Your power cell has eight weeks of charge left. Nero's freedmen have just noticed that a district priest in the Subura performs healings no other healer can — and have started asking questions.
Your Objectives
Recover your pod before the fire
Survive your first audience with Epaphroditus
Decide who you will save when Rome burns
