[9:03][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:somehow Teeth got left in charge.
[9:08][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is replaced by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioxNk5KFxr4 tonight. *
[9:10][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens on a slowly draining underwater cavern where two modified shuttles have settled, a seal on the opening to the cavern hard at work with providing a temporary chamber deep beneath.
[9:11][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:the waves. As the water drains they can see creatures beginning to skitter along the cave wall, gleaming with a soft blue luminescence that lights up the scene below them. The camera moves in on..
[9:12][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:one of the shuttles, where T'Pang's face can be seen through the transparent material as she watches the cave revealing itself to them. Her log can be heard... *
[9:13][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log Supplemental, it has been a few hours since I called in the secondary shuttle and the temporary excavation structure is nearly complete. We have mostly been waiting and resting
[9:14][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Orestes has introduced me to an EArth game called Uno. I can't help but suspect she cheats. Her win/loss rations seems to defy known laws of probability..Other crew have been more productive an
[9:16][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:have catologed several variety of marine life. Now that the chamber is nearly prepared will will shift our focus to uncovering the artifact. This should prove interesting. End Lo
[9:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--shuts off teh recorder and places it back in its special spot.-
[9:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checks the interlinks between teh shuttles
[9:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=T'Pang to Lieutenant Li..=/\
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She peered out at the cavern ceiling.* "Looks like some form of worm... we can get samples when we go out there.
[9:17][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-has been watching and overseeinmg her shuittles teams work tos eal the chamber
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Li was in the same shuttle as T'Pang.
[9:18][DOIC1]Rin@Gonz.:*Dr Reynolds comes up from behing the captain, opens the tricorder and takes some readings of her
[9:18][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Captain
[9:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turn and looks at Li blinking.-- "oh there you are. How goes the preparations on the dig site Lieutenant?
[9:19][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] *The trill engineer was fidgeting in her seat.* "Knew I shouldn't have come here...
[9:19][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-looks over at her- Why
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at the doctor.-- "is there a problem doctor?
[9:19][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We should be ready in about five minutes, ma'am
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you MIster Li.
[9:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Tiny cavern hundreds of meters under the sea... doesn't it seem just... -wrong?-
[9:20][DOIC1]Rin@Gonz.:"Apparently not... but I must make sure the pressure and environmental conditions do not adversely affect the crew captain. You most importantly.
[9:21][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-considers this amoment- Most likely not a subsurface structure when it was built..though yes..something does seem..off her
[9:21][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "You are regularly in a vessel traversing the vaccum of space, Lieutenant, there is little difference here.
[9:21][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:This is mor elike..this thing was int he hands of 'Top Men' when it was secure
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Good thinking doctor. Speaking of which lets make sure that we have sensors set up at the dig site to monitor for radiation and other potential hazards.
[9:21][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Oh... I meant I don't like deep sea caves, ma'am... but I guess you're right too.
[9:22][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles0 It was still a deep cave back then...Though I am used to the se
[9:22][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Grew up near the ocea
[9:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "We're not detecting any from here, but we will be on alert for any kooky things as we dig.
[9:23][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-to Sulok- The difference is in the pressure outsid
[9:23][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:a vaccum doesnt mush you up into your diving helme
[9:23][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:In a second or tw
[9:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Orestes-- "Lieutenant Orestes, get your gear together the dig site is nearly ready..it will be science's show from that point on.
[9:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "Correct. Both will kill you without the proper gear, however.
[9:24][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:You'll last longer in a vaccu
[9:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "Therefore suffer longer.
[9:24][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Deep Sea..just -claps her hands together- SQUIS
[9:25][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- Or be rescued Sulo
[9:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Aye ma'am." *She got up and went back to deal with her gear.
[9:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Vaax we should start suiting up.
[9:25][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "it is a matter of perspective.
[9:25][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Very tru
[9:25][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:All right folks lets get suited u
[9:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila went to put on the pressure eva suit
[9:25][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The team began to suit up.
[9:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She wiggled herself into a suit.
[9:26][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin turned and nodded at him, waiting patiently for some space to open up for him to suit up
[9:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--stood up and went to the back to suit up as well.-
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She looked at something on her HUD.* "Looks like it's ready for us outside. Remember, there may be air out there, but the pressure will still send your spleen out your mouth if you..
[9:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:take it off.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, the air is only there to make the excavation easier..
[9:28][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-seals her helmet- all right folks.double check one anothe
[9:28][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The minions went about checking each other out.
[9:28][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-checks her rifle and sidearm
[9:29][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-to Zhole- You okay for this..no shame in riding this out in the shuttl
[9:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he checked over his gear and prceeded to check istrins seals and nodded to him to check his
[9:29][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "I think I'll be okay.. if not I'll just come back inside.
[9:29][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- Good give my suit a double check and then lets go see how wel we did securing the cavner
[9:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..okay people let proceed into the airlock.
[9:30][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin checked marcus' equipment in return
[9:30][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] *She checked Valkriss.* "you're good to go, ma'am.
[9:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She headed to the airlock.
[9:30][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-to her team- Okay people..-leads them to the airlock- the skipper is wwaitin
[9:30][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods, having suited up offscreen while others were focused on.
[9:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*marcus got in position at the airlock to head out first
[9:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:On me vaax Not that i truly expect issues, but who knows what kind of defenses they may have had that still work
[9:31][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As the teams cycled through the airlocks and into the chamber, they would see there were still a few puddles around and water was dripping liberally from above. *
[9:32][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:* Reference: https://i.imgur.com/q5AtDvJ.jpg 
[9:32][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded as best he could* Ok sir.. *then shimmied his way up front of the others
[9:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*proceeded foward shinning his light on the caverns
[9:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:In the words of my terran cousins
[9:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Cool
[9:33][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-stepped out of the airlock and weent down the ramp looking about- Wo
[9:34][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--proceeds out the airlock and down the ramp on her teams side, moving over toward Valkriss.-
[9:34][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The teams met up with one another in the gleaming caverns.
[9:34][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked over at the other group moving forward* Some sort of bioluminsecence
[9:34][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Captain..-looks about- Do you believe this place.
[9:35][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Fungal growth..or critters
[9:35][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked at the geeks that might know
[9:35][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is a most impressive sight. Hopefully we leave it in mostly the same state we found it in.
[9:35][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Looks like we stumbled into someone's nesting grounds. They look to be some form of sea slug.
[9:35][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:..well aslonga s we do not wake up another ...devil..Im sure we wontbreak the cav
[9:36][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is hard to tell Valkriss without more i depth analysis. it really could be both.
[9:36][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*continued to look around
[9:36][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- Another reminder to me of why we do this..
[9:36][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes everyone be very quiet, Chtulu is sleeping..
[9:36][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Zohle and Sulok were already heading over to the middle of the chamber to mark out the spot where they'd detected the anomaly.
[9:37][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-moved over to cover the two
[9:37][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he shook hi shead and motioned for istrin to move up
[9:37][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-while keeping an eye on T'Pang andher whereabouts
[9:37][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Eager
[9:37][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li joins his minions.
[9:38][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Watch your step Li..its slipper
[9:38][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin moved in, allowing the geeks to get to work
[9:38][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--moves around the dig site to make sure all the hazzard detectors are on and working properly.-
[9:38][DOIC2]Rin@Gonz.:*joining, seeming a little more comfortable in the suit
[9:38][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was indeed a lot of muck and seawater on the ground still. Their boots sank deep into it with each step.
[9:38][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i was hoping the ground would be a bit more...solid.
[9:39][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:a lotof sediments kippe
[9:39][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "There's not much else we can do. Besides, with most of it being sedimentary it should be easier to pull the artifact out.
[9:40][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Thanks...reminds me of the marshes in the Hedrikspool province
[9:40][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Valkriss.-- "Everyone watch your footing.." --she calls out.-
[9:40][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:We might try vaccuming it out...we can filter the sedimentt hen for Orestes to shift through easie
[9:40][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-nods toLi- Yes it is very swamp
[9:40][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-to her geek squad
[9:41][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..if it proves to be a major hinderance to the excavation we can consider that Valkriss.
[9:41][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] *He placed a marker down. It sank several inches into the mud but still stuck out.
[9:41][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Beats entrenching tools Captai
[9:42][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] *She began setting up the excavation tools, occasionally looking up worriedly at the ceiling.
[9:43][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...one of the benefits of being captain is I don't have to dig..so it hardly matters to me.
[9:43][DOIC2]Rin@Gonz.:"Back home, when we had a destabilizing construction project that needed to be not moved, they used a ground freezing technique to stabilize for digging.
[9:43][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:...that is the parrt we arent supposed to say outloud Captain -teases her
[9:43][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "At the temperature it's at, I imagine it's frozen around the part that matters.
[9:43][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..well now you tell me.." --smirks at Valkriss.-
[9:44][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:I do wonder..why it was secured in here and soo dee
[9:44][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i thin as we gat down the groud will be more solid simply because of the low temperatures.
[9:45][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is hard to say if it was secured here or if the area it was stored in simply sank here over time..
[9:45][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Mhm... even if it wasn't underwater all that time ago, it was most certainly deep beneath the surface. Deep enough the Saneltei never found it.
[9:46][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:....it seems sealed up fairly tightly and -nods to Orestese- ...this has a 'Top Men' kinda feel to i
[9:46][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it hard to say that means it was being hidden.
[9:46][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Maybe not. Maybe it was meant to be undisturbed for religious reasons. We won't know until we figure out what the hell it is.
[9:46][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Don't get me wrong you are right there are a lot of questions we need answers for.
[9:46][DOIC2]Rin@Gonz.:"I was thinking if we froze a zone around the dig site, it would keep the sludge from sleucing back in and being a danger.
[9:46][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Li, we're ready to get going.
[9:47][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.
[9:47][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Could be a grave.
[9:47][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Orestese- Agreed..but still Im paid to be the cyni
[9:47][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Wait, you're getting paid?
[9:48][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We're ready to excavate, captain
[9:48][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- Whoops said that outlou
[9:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..lets proceed, I am anxious to see what is down there.
[9:48][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to marcus- true timemightve wiped away the rest of the chambers relic
[9:48][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Must have been that ferengi's merchandising deal they tried to pitch me on at the citadel
[9:48][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he smirks at valkriss under the helmet
[9:48][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-laughs
[9:49][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:It would be ourluck..if we go all through this..for this world version of the 'Thigh Buster
[9:49][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] *She pressed a few buttons, and a field formed between the four stakes to cordon off that area of the ground.
[9:50][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The ferengi tried to pitch me on the idea of a brand of breakfast grain called Roma-O's
[9:50][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-keeps her eyes on teh surroudning cavern walls..and ceilingto see that the dig is having no adverse effects on the chambers integrity
[9:50][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-winces- Roma-O's....wo
[9:50][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Tagline We who are about to Dine Salute you
[9:50][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-cringes at that
[9:51][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The area was roughly two square meters large, and as Sulok and Zohle got to work, the machinery began to slowly and meticulously remove the layers of sand and sludge.
[9:51][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Aquila-- "hopefully they are at least made from a grain native to your world.
[9:51][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No something that ferengi can stomach. So likely insect based
[9:51][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I shot him over ov Good Lucia
[9:51][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:He may be dead
[9:51][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-laughs- He just wanted to trademark you world's name
[9:52][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "He totally missed out on getting a Romulan instead, Romul-O's sound much tastier.
[9:52][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes. I informed him he would need to go through the Senate to aquire a business license.
[9:52][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"If he had aproached a romulan he would be dead.
[9:52][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-to Orestes- Or Klingon Krunchberrie
[9:53][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Depends on the Romulan." *She smirked.
[9:53][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Romul-O is basically sayign made of Romulans
[9:53][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:That Doctor ont he protector wouldve gutted him and thend eradpanned 'Oops
[9:54][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--blinks at Valkriss-- "...the protector's doctor?
[9:54][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Her CMO captai
[9:54][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:She stands rihannsu
[9:54][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Centurion Lenora would have taken his money then killed him
[9:55][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...I doubt she is that violent, such is not my experience with most Romulans..
[9:55][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:..
[9:55][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-just looks at T'Pang at that
[9:55][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Captain did you not hunt Tal Shiar terrorists...
[9:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes, but they were criminals..and not representative of the majority of Romulans.
[9:56][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*marcus continues looking around.
[9:57][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Looks like we are dealing with a rectangular artifact...I estimate about .6 meters by .9 meters...set in the divot in the ground beneath it
[9:57][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:A case perhaps Li
[9:57][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-looks over
[9:57][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"rectangular? like a box?
[9:58][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles over to her skipper at that
[9:58][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:That's what it looks like to me...a box of some knid
[9:58][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Can't say for sure until we have it in front of us
[9:58][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, call me Pandora.
[9:58][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That story does not have a happy ending
[9:58][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Yeah..thatwent wel
[9:58][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Valkriss.-- "..this is interesting.
[9:58][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:It is..
[9:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Should be just a few more layers...
[9:59][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:I think somewhere back on the Citadel..the Admiral felt a cill go down her spine agai
[9:59][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:chill
[9:59][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the moral of the story is of course, once you have messed up and opened the box you are not supposed to..just leave it open.
[10:00][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the question we need to decide is if this is the sort of box one should not open.
[10:00][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The sediment continued to be cleared off, over and over... until a black surface could be seen. As more sediment is lifted, they could see the telltale cold gleam of veracysium in the glow of the..
[10:01][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:slugs above them. It was covered in intricate carvings.
[10:01][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"hopefully there are marking on the box.
[10:01][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-sees the veracysium- ...lovel
[10:01][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it seems to having some sort of marking on it, good...
[10:01][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I am really startign to think t'ghor's hypothesis that htis might be the birthplace of the chosen maye be correct
[10:02][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am not aware of his hypothesis or his reasons for it.
[10:02][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We did not have enough evidence for him to formalize it
[10:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, we don't know who left the box just yet..." *She got as close as she could to it to take images of the runes and etchings.
[10:03][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But it had to do with the sotry of the single warrior that was chosen by the gods from this world that ruled this area
[10:03][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is not unreasonable they had to come from somewhere.
[10:03][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And his black armo
[10:03][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:The runes look similar to anything we have on file
[10:03][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She tapped away for a moment before staring at the PADD.
[10:03][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The fact that they are carved into veracysium does seem like we are in the right area
[10:03][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Orestes at that.-- "Lets get those runes analyzed as quickly as possible.
[10:03][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If the people of gir really could work the substance
[10:03][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...This doesn't make any damn sense at all...
[10:04][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:What have you got
[10:04][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--sighs-- "...and here we go...
[10:04][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "We're getting matches from the Beryxian archives... some of their oldest forms of writing.
[10:05][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...that isn't necessarily peculiar.
[10:05][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Conquered peoples often adopt the writign style of their conquerers
[10:05][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:or have their past hisotries hjumbledor forgotte
[10:05][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Sometimes of the conquered. If it is effective
[10:06][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"but it does rais a lot of questions. But, given it similarities with Beryian it should make translation easier.
[10:06][DOIC2]Rin@Gonz.:"Effective at the decendants being able to read the archives of the conquerers, or visitors if they were just teachers of the people like back on Earth.
[10:07][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Some Bajorans were forced to learn Cardassian to better serve them during the Occupation
[10:07][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Many romans learned the tongue sof the gaul and the assyrian to properly speak in hte provinces as well.
[10:07][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "It could also be from before or just during the split of the Beryxians from the Chantry...
[10:08][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We are near suspected chantry territories
[10:08][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Orestes - That was whati was thinkin
[10:08][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets get the object up and secured. Then start on translating the runes..
[10:08][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..I suspect this is an important find..
[10:08][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Believed Chantry space s some distance spinward but ye
[10:09][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Dametha however did look like a different species than either
[10:09][DOIC2]Rin@Gonz.:"Scanning for any increase in atmospheric radiations.
[10:10][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Alright... we have the sediment cleared, we can pull it up on your order, sir.
[10:11][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:-looks to T'Pang
[10:11][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"let bring her up into the light.
[10:12][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin took a step or two back, just in case
[10:13][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*After some positioning around the black box, Sulok gave a nod and it began to rise slowly. After it had raised a few centimeters, they could hear an audible CLICK.
[10:13][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The glowing slugs on the top of the cave ceiling started to skitter away, taking their light with then.
[10:15][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Interesting
[10:15][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:Uh oh..
[10:15][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a slight rumble all around them...

[10:16][DOIC2]Rin@Gonz.:"Unknown, but we should retreat to a safer position I think, to analyze that.

[10:50][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The mechanical creature turned around to show a massive, fish-shaped head, though they could see from the gleam of its eyes and the composition of its scales that it was definitely not biological.
