 Lara Croft is the daughter to a rich aristocratic English family. She is also nothing like her family, as she writes about her expeditions for rare artifacts. Natla Industries ("Creator of all things bright and beautiful," claims Natla s lackey, Larson) has hired Lara to find a rare artifact called the Scion. But what is Natla s interest with the Scion? Is Lara being used? Most importantly, what s a nice girl like Lara Croft doing in an adventure game like this?
