»The elderly archeologist« … is literally unbelievable stupid. We have a first century text we need translated, and it is urgent. Why would that be urgent? Why would he have to immediately go and fly to who knows where? Why in the middle of the night? You have an ancient text to translate? Great. We have a basement full of them. It is urgent, you say? Why? The text has waited for centuries, it can wait a few days more. Oh, and send me a scan now, a photo if you have to!
