Series A, Episode 08 - Duel

[THE MONUMENT - Blake and Jenna materialise.]
GIROC: You fought well, Blake.
BLAKE: I'm glad you enjoyed it.
GIROC: Why didn't you kill him?

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "I can see this appears to be a scene set in what looks like a cave or underground location with rough stone walls. Two figures are present - one wearing lighter colored clothing and another in darker robes with a head covering. The setting has a rustic, primitive quality with what appears to be some kind of bedding or supplies visible in the background. The lighting is dim and atmospheric, creating shadows that emphasize the cave-like environment. The scene suggests an intimate conversation or interaction between the characters in this underground refuge or hideout."

Italian Wars - The Black Band marched into Italy in 1515 in time to fight alongside King Francis I at the Battle of Marignano, where, defending the ditch and supported by artillery, they recoiled from the attacking Swiss, but did not break. #28mm #ItalianWars #medieval

It did, much better than the book on gravity. I couldn't even pick that one up.

Hey, if you're stuck for a title for a book about a ballpoint pen that solves crimes you could try Federal Biro of Investigation.
