After leaving the staff meeting, the XO proceeded down to the computer sciences lab and walked in. “Lt. Elbbirt, I need you to see if you can get us a signal on any of their broadcasts and get us into any electronic libraries they have. We need to know about their history and current society.”

“Aye, Cmdr,” Elbbirt moved over to a console and began searching for a signal and looking for any kind of electronic library they could try to access without being noticed.

Bump for GM

A few moments later, the doors parted and Ben stepped in.

“Hello Commander,” he said, with a smile. “I thought medical and science could tag team the investigation into the civilisation down there.” he continued. Taking position at another console, he started to study the readings of lifeforms, flora and fauna on the planet.

Shedda looked up, “Yes, Dr. That sounds like an excellent idea. Come join us. Elbbirt is trying to establish a link up to their computer systems.”

It didn’t take too long to establish access to what was seemingly a university database system - the encryption was shockingly sophisticated by still easy to bypass for the Manhattan crew.

A variety of topics were available, the translator having caught up enough for rough translation to be applied across the database. It wasn’t quite a perfect translation, but it should get the idea across

Among the topics that caught the science teams attention were:
- History of Molkas, 1270-present
- Civics and Civil Ethics
- Engineering Research Database
- Arts Study Library

As for the lifeform readings, they were indicative of a reasonably healthy Space Age civilization. About 4.7 Billion humanoids, high levels of planet and animal life. The initial scans seemed to indicate a more healthy ecosphere than Earth at the same level of development.

Shedda scanned the topics they had accessed. “Computer bring up the files contained in History of Molkas, 1270-present..” She turned to Hudson, “The captain has asked me for an archeological perspective of their civilization. I’m going to start there, but there is plenty of data to go through.”

The file library appeared obligingly at her request. It covered about 500 years of history, and much of it looked more or less standard for most civilizations - a handful of wars, key innovators, the rise and fall of nation-states. The pace, however, over the last 250 years, was abnormally fast - following a series of three ‘Aentekin Wars’, the rate of development spiked. The records seemed to indicate that the inhabitants had been at a point similar to Earth’s Napoleonic period immediately before the wars, but they had developed nuclear power only 100 years later. A unified world government had been formed relatively bloodlessly by the time of their first spaceflight. The records indicated that they’d been spacefaring for about 90 years currently, though there was no mention of the early warp tech the sensors had picked up.
