Archaeology, Natural Disasters and You [Closed]

The trip down revealed that Taleen was going to be of several things, none of which were pleasant. Arid, pale with a light dusting of red from the rocks, and yellow-white grass that extended in plains all the way towards far off mountains . There was a giant gash in the land near the orb landing area, which resolved itself into a massive canyon as the party drew closer. Spider webbing out across the top of the canyon were signs that a civilization had once flourished here. Traces of broken pillars and half submerged buildings, as well as what looked like a downed ship that had embedded itself in a massive building. There was no movement visible amongst the ruins now. As the dry wind blew through the stonework, it would became clear that they were walking into a mass graveyard.

Not somewhere you'd want to spend your vacation.

For some people, this was going to be a field day.

According to the scans and what little records they had, there hasn't been a sentient being around for hundreds of years. The majority of native wildlife had moved out of the area, seeking refuge. The land looked dead already. In the sky above, several specks of light twinkled in the sky, growing bigger with each passing hour. In a few days, it will be raining fire.

In general, Jamie has quite a lot of questions on any given day, especially about things he doesn't know. Since Eneesh doesn't seem to mind answering questions, he take the chance to spend the next little while asking - like if she knows what metal goes into the bracelet, what an 'internal' actually is, and some other things about her people that he's been wondering about since their first meeting. Even with the communicator, he doesn't know if he'll have the chance to talk to her again after this mission. He'd like to think that he will, but the reality of the situation is that something could happen to either one of them to prevent that from happening. So he's glad to have the chance to talk with her a bit.

Eventually, though, the break time is over. There's still plenty of things to do, like finishing setting up the camp and making sure any stray beasties stay far away - and, of course, trying to actually salvage the artifacts. And while he may not be the best at that last one, he can certainly help with the other two. So, reluctantly, he goes back to work.
