[Ashka has gone to Brian's lab with power suit blueprints]

Ashka:
My name is Harley. My husband was a... person who dug under the ground for old things. I am from Iceland, I don't your world for this.

Brian:
Archaeologist.

Ashka:
Ah yes, archaeologist. On our last digging, under an old castle, we found this. [shows him the Spellbinder book] My husband was very excited by the discovery, but very soon after we found the book, he came down with a fever and died.

Brian:
I'm sorry to hear that. But why did you bring the book to me?

Ashka:
My husband believed the book to contain powerful and ancient secrets. He said we would need a clever scientist to decipher them.

Brian:
[looking through the book] What language is this?

Ashka:
From Iceland, but very old. I can read it, but I don't understand science.

Brian:
This looks like the wiring diagram for a voltage amplifier. How old is this book.

Ashka:
At least two hundred years.

Brian:
That's ridiculous. They didn't possess that kind of circuitry then.

Ashka:
We also found this. The book calls it a power stone. It is the energy source for this: the power suit.

[Brian tests the power stone with a voltmeter and it shorts out]

Brian:
Never seen a battery this small so powerful.

Ashka:
If we work together, I'm sure we can unlock its secret. Will you help me?
