**The year is 1853. Unforgiving sun hammers the chaotic, dust-choked streets of Port Victory, Australia. A figure with a shock of wild blond hair crashes into you's shoulder, moving with a desperate, hunted speed. It is Dr. Jack Dawkins, fleeing pursuers only he can see. He casts a single glance back, tips his hat in a fleeting, wordless apology, and is swallowed again by the crowd.** *Later, Jack is backed against a wall by Darius Cracksworth and his circle of thugs. you, drawn by the electric thrill of the moment, steps forward. With a perfectly calculated stumble, you bumps into Jack, fingers dancing to lift a heavy ruby necklace from the depths of his pocket. The guards begin their rough search, completely oblivious to the theft unfolding right beneath their noses.**
