Krath Empire Forums

With his ATR dropship and personal Sprint beside Grevendar's dropship, Varro walked in about a minute after the main group had entered the entry halls.

Approaching the group, nearly everyone explored the room's surroundings, save Echinsu, who was heading down an eastern corridor. Shifting around the group of people, Varro approached the table. Seeing the datapad that had a shattered screen, Varro snatched it up and shook any loose pieces onto the floor that were broken. With a few sounds of plastic and glass hitting the floor Varro circled around the table, and pulled a loose wire from one of his compartments. As we came to the north corridor , he paused, connecting the cord to the datapad, and connecting the other end of the cord to his personal datapad on his belt. Attaching the newly found datapad to a separate compartment on his belt and waiting for the memory to be forced from its lifeless banks, Varro brought a hand up to his helmet to set his HMD to what summed up to "night vision". Adjusting his hood ever so slightly and pulling his blaster pistols to a ready position, Varro stalked the darkened corridors ahead of him.

Seeing the flashing lights of her T3 droid,Jekyl; EO headed back to the main hall to greet the others,see who arrived, and get a glimpse of what Jekyl had recorded.

"Hello Everyone."
"Anyone have a good idea as where to start checkin?
Should we split up? Seems kinda Dim to the East. Jekyl gots bright lights,tho."
He recorded strange markings in that hall. I can't make them out."

EO leaned over and told Jekyl to reset the Biosensor at the door, and his eyes flashed three times.

Kirrim enters in the Monastery and:

- PR0WL...Start recording..

Kirrim inspect all the room,and ever the SPOOKY SCARY Skeleton,for more information of the dead corpse.

- S-Sir...Lets go...Because this Skeleton its scarying me...

Kirrim,after inspect the whole main hall,he go by the East Corridor,with PR0WL close of him.

- May the Force and Krath be with yours.

Saheen enters the main hall and sees three people, expecting a larger group he's surprised.

"Hello everyone, thought there would be more people, names Saheen, glad to join you guys on this excursion, hope to get some loot but Intels fine too, this here is my protocol droid Hiccum, I didn't get much info in the briefing message but arrived as soon as possible."

Saheen then looks down and sees a dead body.

"What happened to him?"

The large Zabrak follows behind the group alongside his T3-unit, covering their rear flank into the monastery. Relby's drawn, he held them steady toward the dark passageways. After watching the others fiddle around with the datapad, Cuyan decides to make his way over to the deceased body of the expedition leader. Giving a quick glance around the chamber, he kneels down near the lifeless body, holstering one of his blasters on his lower back. He then checks over the corpse for any signs of struggle or any loose items. Keeping a steady watch of the passageways, starts patting down the body. He diverts his attention back down to the body to see if he could find anything. A staccato beep from the T-3 unit emits as it, too, surveys the chamber for any signs of a threat or utility.

A little more deeper in the Corridor,PR0WL says:

I think we have company...

Lets retorn,more help its welcome.

Kirrim and PR0WL retorns to the Main Room,and see the newcomer.

Well...Hello. I am Kirrim Fidlervisky,or Caterpixie.

"Yeah,I am Kirrim Fidlervisky,a complete strange saying Hi" Kirrim thinks a ironic word.

-Mini GM Post-

The data transfer to Varros datapad took very little time indeed, but the quantity of data was huge. Unsure where to start, Varro looked the index and log files:

Log Files:

Datapad: AX00011923
Shipping Data: Storage vaults at Exocron Retreat per requisition for archaeological expedition, authorisation code Kell24
Disbursement: Current Holder is Professor Vynan Da'Shien

Index File:

1) Schematics
2) Personal Logs
3) Translations
4) Inventory Logs

Exploring the room, Kirrims droid detected nothing but carvings, his scanners picking up nothing of great significance.

Varro prowled down the corridor, contrasted night vision clearing his view. The corridor was 10 metres long, sloped downwards slightly and appeared hewn out of solid rock. The same style of carvings were present on the walls and there were apparently no doorways or side passages, just a single flat rock face at the end of the passage, as if it were incomplete. On the left wall of the passage were several torches in wall sconces, all showing the signs of having been lit in the recent past.

Echinsu started down the passage to the East but quickly realised it was so dark it was impossible to see anything. Deciding it was safer to return to the main room, Echinsu met up with the main group again. Kirrim also attempted the same thing but turned back because of the darkness. His droid continued on briefly and returning to it's master showed him a near identical set of night vision images that Varro obtained in his passage.

Cuyan searched the body of the Professor and examined it closely. There were no obvious wounds on the body but it was clear that his death had been unexpected. His face was torn between pain and peace, as if it had suddenly come and he had died on the spot. He wore a small belt with the usual array of tools for an arachaeologist - tiny picks, small scrapers and a brush. Hooked onto the belt were a lighter and a two light globes.

Lion, carefully advancing to where Cuyan Hulo was, after he had finished to look at the body, asks for permission to examine the two little globes attached to the belt of the dead man. The objects picked his curiosity. He doesn't touch the little globes, just watches them, trying to scrutinise their nature.

What the hell could be these? Maybe they are unimportant to the mission at hand...

He then asks politely to Varro if he could please surf into the logs of the dead man. Knowing that he could choose not to share the information he had uncovered.

"Could you please tell us what the dead man had into the belly of his datapad?"

Finally, he meditates if sending his RIC droid to one of the corridors to see if he triggers a trap, concluding it could be useful later, and sparing its droidish shell.

- Hey,lets go to another Corridor...Maybe we luck do the work now.

PR0WL do a little bip,a affirmative,for Kirrim's mind. He and the droid entered in a random Corridor,when starts to enter,Kirrim said:

- May the Luck be with us!

- Y-Yeah...! Bip,Bip!

The sensors of PR0WL are bipping like a Shenshalie Drink when bursting foams. Bip Bip Bip Everytime!

EO squated ,and leaned back against the dusty wall, glaring in on the spheres that were being examined. She had seen something similar back in the day on....... But no memory arose.
When EO was young. She saw a lot in a little time. Traveling about, She worked for many groups. Never saying much, just watching.
"Wait,"EO Exclaimed,"Never mind."
EO then laid her hand to her brow and tried to picture back.

As EO stay silent, Jekyl the droid compared the images that Varro and Prowl had ,with the images He had gotten from the East hall.
Not much were different. Jekyl must not have had the programming to decyfer the text and images, because His eyes stayed blue.
