As the operations team phasered their way through the rocks they eventually tread a path down into the buried ruins of a large government type building. Across the windows were boards of ancient wood and metal showing hasty efforts to prevent someone or something from getting in....or out. Either way they had an open access point from a busted in front door from a sonic drill probe which lay off to the side from Shanok’s work. The dark depths of the building lay open for them to explore to find the sought after written or computerized versions of the archives Shanok indicated lay within.

Arthur grabbed his phaser at his hip, keeping it low as he peeked into the room. He wasn’t afraid per se but the room was dark, and there could literally be anything inside, he was kinda fond of his limbs and not being a meal for Kahless-knows-what.

Seeing the opening, Tenzing holstered his phaser. “Ensign Jones, can you shine a light through the doorway?” Lieutenant Commander Trainor asked as he stepped down closer to the ruins. “Philips, please alert Shanok of our findings and that we’ll know exactly what we’re looking at in a few moments.”

Trainor COO

“Yes sir.” Arthur said, holding his phaser in one hand, and turning on the light with the other. He held it out to shine it’s light into the room.

==^==Lt. Philips to Shanok, we found something I think you should come and see for yourself. Our location is by the ruins.==^==

Lt. JG Philips Ops Officer

Shanok replied a moment later =/\= I am currently on my way to your location, feel free to try to continue on without me until I get there. =/\= He said.

When Jones would shine his hand held light into the opening he found the half buried government building in surprisingly good shape all things considered for being buried for 1500 years. Ankle deep layers of dirt and dust were evident all over. The room ahead in view of his flashlight was rectangular like the building and opened into an entry hall with four marble pillars engraved with intricate designs. A marble style desk of some kind was nearby ahead of them with large stacks of dusty books. Some kind of boxy computer terminal and manual style input device was also present.

Along the walls and floor in spots though still half seen through the cake of dirt and dust from ages past were signs though of bones and half mummified corpses.

GM CockRoach

“I wonder what happened.” Philips took out his tricorder to scan the bones and bodies he saw.

LT.JG Philips Ops Officer

“No clue.” Arthur said, stepping across the threshold into the building, walking up to one of the pillars. “Interesting designs…” He mused, looking around with his light, blinking repeatedly to keep dust from his eyes.

“Should probably bring in medical to identify these remains…” Tenzing said when he spotted the mummified corpses. Trainor knew the likelihood of finding out who they were would be slim, however.

“Let me see if this thing has any juice running to it.” The Ops Chief said as he stepped closer to the computer. “At the very least I might be able to us an uplink to get whatever is on here to my tricorder.”

Trainor OPs Chief

Stepping up to the ancient computer box Trainor found the device had a gaping hole and from scans signs of dried blood in the smashed screen so it was useless unless he decided to try something more exotic....

GM CockRoach

Trainor wasn’t too familiar with this tech, but he knew data could still be pulled from a wrecked computer. A quick glance around and the Lieutenant Commander was unable to locate the console, or system unit, which led him to believe it was inside the screen. “I doubt Shanok will need this in one piece…” Tenzing said aloud as he pried the screen apart at the seems. With any luck the blast would have missed the hard drive, but if it was fried then all hope would be lost.

Trainor OPS Chief

Reaching into the smashed screen and pulling out the glass was an easy affair, and quickly inside he would find the remains of the computer’s motherboard and hard drive and cpu. The motherboard and cpu were loss causes but the hard drive though splattered with what seemed aged blood did seem intact!

GM CockRoach

“Sir, I think I can remove the hard drive safely so we can take it to the Ark Angel.
Lt. JG Philips
Ops Officer

“Actually, I think I have that covered Lieutenant.” Trainor said as he held up the computer’s hard drive. “I wonder what we’ll find on here.” Tenzing added as he handed it over to the junior Lieutenant.

“Jones, are you still around?” The OPS Chief called out, having lost sight of the Klingon Security Officer.

Trainor
OPS Chief

“I am.” Arthur said, stepping out from where he was examining a pillar. “Interesting pillars.”

Arthur Jones, Son of Ruk

“It looks interesting. I wonder who built this.”
