DR. ROBERTA TREADSTONE

 

 

ATLANTIS STORY MAP & OPERATION HOMEPAGE

 

 

BLUE SHIELD, NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY

Doctor Roberta Treadstone is an antiquities expert working for The Blue Shield, an international organization reporting to UNESCO, aimed at protecting cultural heritage treasures from theft and damage.

She is stationed in England at Newcastle University. But is also a field worker with some experience on digs, salvage and operations in dangerous war zones.

She sometime feeds from the developed hunches of Charley Temple. They have developed a working relationship based on mutual trust, where Charley and Roberta share similar goals, very much in tune with Blue Shield objectives. Roberta feeds Charley and the reporter investigates, or Charley asks for help. Either way, the liaison works, and they've had quite a few successes. They are both fond of John Storm and his ship.

Working like this, John Storm was able to survey the sunken city of Alexandria, eventually leading him to rescue Cleopatra from the New World Knights and then DARPA at Guantánamo Bay.

Roberta is a close confident of Professor Jacques Pierre Daccord, Oceanographic Commission, in Paris, France. Together, and working with other agencies, including MI6 and the CIA, they identify sites that might interest terrorists and treasure hunters.

Dr. Treadstone is unaware of the extraordinary skills of John Storm, other than his expertise as a diver and archaeological knowledge, from his finding of the Homo Erectus skull in Tanzania. Which is why Blue Shield call on the ocean adventurer from time to time - where he gets the job done. Dr Treadstone knows of the Elizabeth Swann, because of the detailed surveys the AI ship produces, under the captaincy of John Storm.

 

When Roberta hears about oil pollution in the North Sea, she knows who to call first. Unaware of the radiation spilling from HMS Neptune.
