Remember that strange energy source you found in Thera’s abyss? Your friend Prof. Wells did some experiments with it – and was able to create sort of time transporter with it. Well it’s not as small and as elegant as time travelling devices used to be in movies, it’s more like a small hut... but at least that bulky thing works – somehow.... Of course you couldn’t wait to test that device by yourself. But something has gone wrong, you’ve been stranded in an unknown town in the past. It doesn’t seem to be too long ago... And worse: the back-button refuses to work – and to take you back to your time and place! Seems like you need more energy to stabilize the machine. Your friend informed you about rumours about two more of those energy spheres – but they have been destroyed long ago. You would have to go even further back in time and grab them before they would disappear forever. Not much fuel left, but enough for 2 jumps to and fro. And at least the place you have been stranded looks like it could offer you some more fuel for your journey back home.

And this is where the other energy crystals were said to be:
* One of them was kept in the Pompeian Isis temple and was destroyed in the big Vesuvius eruption on August 24th, 79 A.D. With your bad luck that darn machine beams you to Pompeii while that deadly eruption is imminent. On the other hand – with most people fled already you won’t have to face too many unwanted confrontations.

* The last known trace of the other one leads back to England 1381 A.D., in a small town named Dayport. The town and the castle were destroyed after the violent Peasants‘ Revolte in that very year and have vanished completely from the map nowadays. So you have to go there just before this happens. Probably here one can expect some more foes – and time’s running short too, those are unhealthy times...

SECRETS:
Somewhere 3 (2 Somewhere/1 No-man’s-Land)
Museum 1
Pompeii 2
Dayport 2 (1 city /1 castle)

One secret per time period also contains a sort-of souvenir, a valuable but useless (in gameplay terms) quest item. After all you have to fill a trophy room, don’t you? Also – as proved in Aegean Legends – some of the secrets can make the game a bit easier...
