*Fenrir continues reading the log while Taoth looks around the large container in the middle of the room*
Taoth: "What do you think this is?"
Fen: "Not sure, I'm still looking for reference to it in the log."
*He continues reading... Taoth studies the symbols on the container, some appear to be press switches, she presses one and the box lights up*
Fen: "What did you do?"
Taoth: "Just pressed this symbol here."
*She points towards a strange glyph on the box*
Fen: "I just saw that mentioned in the log... Yeah that's the enter symbol, the others are different keys and have to be pressed in a certain order for the box to open."
Taoth: "Does it say what is inside?"
Fen: "No, but it does say that the Ancients found the box... The found it on one of the first worlds they explored here in the Pegasus, in an abandoned city of stone on a planet in a binary star system, the people of that world worshipped the twin suns as their gods and this artifact was apparently sacred to them."
*Taoth walks over to the monitor and starts reading*
Taoth: "Their mythology mentioned demonic creatures that lurk in the dark, from another place they came and destroyed whole civilizations, this container somehow relates to the myth."
Fen: "Another place, could that mean another dimension?"
Taoth: "Possibly."
Fen: "Here the Ancient scientists note the experiments they did on the box, nothing worked on revealing the contents."
Taoth: "They decided some things are best left unknown."
Fen: "Whatever is in there or the box is, it had the Ancients scared to open it."
Taoth: "Then we shouldn't open it either."
Fen: "Agreed."
*He checks back through the text for more on the mythology behind the container... One of the marines notices the switches light up in a certain order and becomes entransed by it, the other waiting in the hall is oblivious to what is going on but listens to Fenrir and Taoth talk, just as the light show stops Taoth turns round to inspect the box again*
Taoth: "Whoever made this really put effort into it, the detail, the design of the patterns, this was made for a special purpose."
Fen: "I've found something else, the creatures that came from another place couldn't come to this world naturally, they needed a way built for them, a doorway bridging the void between the light and the dark, a person would be chosen to help them and through this architect the demonic creatures bring about the extinction of the whole civilization."
*Taoth turns round and looks at the monitor again reading the text for herself, the marine steps forward and presses the buttons in the sequence they lit up, the container lights up when the last key is pressed... Fenrir and Taoth notice the light and turn round to see the marine open the box*
