Mission log:
I decided to enter the Aythenian ruins, i’m a little unsettled by all of the statues, i feel like their looking at me.


Environment details : the entrance is sealed with what appears to be and interlocking stone door. According to scans, it’s 5 feet thick. the ruins are made of a hardened sandstone, and the main entrance is arranged in a semicircle with the outer ends of the circle facing outwards from the entrance, the door is in the center of the arch of the arch of the semicircle. Arranged evenly on each side of the entrance there is an arrangement of statues and pillars, the statues are all armed with giant stone tools and weapons, with each statue standing at ~30 feet high. There are a few points of interest, one being near the entrance, one being near the 2nd statue to the right of the entrance, and one implanted in the forehead of the 2nd statue to the left of the main entrance. Investigation required. Rudimentary map sketch given.

What should you do? (pick two of the points of interest)

>>752634
Check the entrance and the statue on the right.

Mission log:
I made the decision to investigate the points of interest next to the statue and entrance. I uncovered the sand from the piece next to the statue, and it appears to be one of the stone swords of the statue. It’s peculiar however because the statue that the sword is next to still has its sword. The artifact is about 6 feet long, and is made of an unidentified stone, scans indicate no clues as to what stone it is...peculiar.


The second point of interest is a small switch next to the main seal to the ruins. I feel like it would be the switch that opens the seal, but i should be careful, however, i DO need into the ruins. Hmm…

What should you do next?

>>754240
Flick the switch.
Have your hard light generator ready I'm assuming that is a force field) in case the status are guard robots.

WTF didn't we land near a population centre so we can actually do our job?

<is lurking>

>>754240
Use the sword to hit the switch, don't want to endanger ourself on a hunch.

>we landed near the ruins we are exploring, the city that we are going to investigate later are at coordinates (+2.654,+5.990,-7.898) which is in universe a couple of kilometers away

Mission log:
I flipped the switch and used the hard light projector to raise a barrier in front of the entrance, in case of surprise attacks. The door opened, but nothing emerged from the ruins, and they appear to be a safe to enter environment, i ran scans of the inside to find if the air is breathable,
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Trace elements present in air:
-oxygen: ~20%
-nitrogen: 33.982%
-arsenic: ~10%
-carbon: 36.018%
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
There appears to be enough oxygen, but too high of a arsenic concentration for this ruin to be considered breathable, safe air. I fabricate a hard light respirator using the projector. With that, i was ready to descend the staircase to the rest of the ruins.


Environment details:
After about 20 meters of stairs leading straight to the main room of the ruins, the space opened up to a large, cylindrical room. The cylindrical room has three levels, I’m on the highest. There is a hole in the ground that gives me clear vision of the floors below me. There are 4 exits to this room, the stairs i came from (east exit), a closed stone door (north exit), an open doorway (northwest exit), and a collapsed wall that appears to lead to a dead end (south west exit). There is one point of interest in sight, it’s through the collapsed wall. Rudimentary sketch provided.

>>754653
sorry, forgot to end with, what do you do next?

>>754653
Check out the open Northwest doorway.

Mission log:
i move through the northwestern doorway of the first room, it leads to a winding path down to the next floor, on the way down the winding path, i noticed a small divot in the side of the hallway that a liquid or a ball could go down with ease, possibly a trap? I'm not sure. Also on the way down, i found a small, rusted metal orb, it had multiple engravings in it, and it looks like it could be opened somehow, scans showed it was made of unknown material, although, it looked to be gold…


Environment details:
The room is a perfect mirror image of the first room, in every single way. The only difference is that there is a hole in the ceiling, the same hole that is in the floor of the first room. There is no space abnormalities happening, I’ve been trained to realized those, you’ll have to run some experiments. Exits are winding pathway (west side), collapsed wall (northwest exit), open doorway (southwest exit), and a closed stone door (south exit), There is one point of interest in sight, it’s through the collapsed wall.

> collapsed wall

Mission log:
I went through the collapsed wall on the second level of the ruins. My suspicions of it being a dead end were confirmed, but that didn’t matter, the artifact on the ground was amazing.
What i found was a small, perfectly spherical, clear ball, inside of the ball was an inquisitor’s chip i’ve only heard myths of these things when i was going through the academy. I can’t believe that i finally found one. The guys back at the base are going to flip OUT. i hope i get a raise…i go back into the main part of the room and break open the glass ball that holds the chip. I use my hard light projector to make a hard light computer, and i insert the chip, it begins downloading the information. It’ll take some time, but in awhile, i’ll have uncovered something unknown to the multiverse for upwards of a universe cycle or two. Fingers crossed it’s something juicy!
