Checking around the group would find a set of recessed metal shutters they could lower over the windows and doors that would lock from the inside. Probably not a bad idea really to avoid snooping eyes and ears.

About that time Rende looked up taking a deep breath and saw the shutters recessed into the window frames. “HA!” and moments later she had them all down and locked.

Ari walked around a bit to be sure everyone was all right and accounted for. As Rende closed the shutters, she shook her head. “Ok, so while this whole set up makes no sense, let’s see if the computers can tell us anything. Serinde, you seemed to recognize something. Did you?” She nodded to the computer before the woman. She then glanced at Black. “Help her out, please, and let’s see what we can figure out. I don’t want to stay any longer than we have to.”

“That’s the problem. I recognize too much,” El said quietly. This was no alternate Earth in any timeline; the system, space and topography was not even close, but the tech was too close for comfort. She shifted on her improvised seat. “Captain the tech is a mish mash of anything spanning a century on Earth, all in one building. If this was a museum that would be fine but this is all working stuff. We went to the moon with base DOS programming and chewing gum but we didn’t build a shielded miniature nuclear powered reactor with it. The chips in the helmets are way more than would be in ..” she paused looking at the systems. What was under the hood of one of these desktops? What kind of chipsets .. had DOS? “I can dig up some base commands. It sounds like he is the guru,” she said about Black.

Rotating on her seat she tapped out a search on her device, talking aloud. “DOS operates on rather abbreviated commands. We may have to play around if they aren’t quite like ours. Their spelling is .. different. Try ‘tree’.” That would or should give a visual ‘tree’ of the hard drive which could be a starting point.

When someone tried inputting ‘tree’ the system beeped softly and then scrolled on the display showing a directory list like the following.

A:/Home/ -2 Directories, 2 Programs

-----> /Demo/
-----> /Store/

Demo.exe
Store.exe

She then headed for the Doc and their added team member. “How is she doing?” Ari’s voice was low and calm and obviously full of genuine concern for the hurt woman. “Do you think she’s up to a couple questions? I give my word I won’t press her further than she’s willing to go.” She gave the Doc a sage nod to reinforce the statement. She wasn’t going to push the woman, but they did need to learn what was happening and this woman was a good way to find that out.

Ari CO

The likely in shock woman looked up at the CO’s approach, she gave a weak smile, “..I am ok. A bit numb around the fingers and toes but thats ok right? One of you is a doctor right?” She said in a drawling accent of English from the alien speech.

Beth was done walking around the area to see if there was any other way in when she saw Asam closing the shutters. She helped her secure the building and smiled. “I was about to do a search for something to eat or drink. I know we don’t need it yet, but no harm in looking now. Right? Anything else you think I should look for?” Her own security mind was considering places others would be able to get in or see what they were doing. But beyond food, or other intel related items, she couldn’t think of anything else they needed this early in the mission or from this place.

Elizabeth Intel/Sec

Rende considered it a moment, “Paper or electronic documents. Even something as simple as a jotted down note might help tell us what is going on.” She returned to Lt Black, “Sir I’d like to go up top, see if I can’t find a vantage point to keep a look out, and look for other points of egress just incase it gets sticky.”

Isaac needed some info about this world then he had an idea. He found a public trash can and searched he found some old newspaper or what looks like it “can you translate this” he asked the group.
