Description	 : These days you are taking far more testing jobs for the extra cash, and as such need all the luck you can lay your light fingers upon. A recent trip to the museum archives - in the hope of locating a Hand of Glory, supplied you with some useful information: In the founding years of the city, sewer constuctors reported uncovering ancient tombs deep below the ground. Descriptions of these lost remenants of past civilizations lead you to believe a Hand of Glory might be aquired down there. Only one way to find out...

* Note*

This mission was originally an Easter Egg for those players inquisitive enough to explore "Run thief...RUN: The Director's Cut". It was inspired by the "Cistern" level from the original Tomb Raider game by Core Design.
