beholding_archivist[ The video starts up with Jon sitting at what may be considered his desk, possibly in the library. He frowns slightly, one hand on a couple of papers before him.
Tony is present as well, but rather than being the focus of this broadcast, he is occupying a certain couch in the background, just lounging with one of the mothcats curled up next to him.
The Archivist clears his throat. ]
Right. I assume most of us have gone and visited the new city by now, but we haven't really shared much of what we have found there - Or our impressions of the place. Which is something I believe we need to change. For now we can leave it up for debate whether or not we want to use the name Dr. Riley discovered on those monitors, but it might, indeed, be Sh'Ka.
That aside, Tony, Omega and I have come across a rather well-hidden underground chamber in one of the ruins where we have found three stone columns submerged in a pool of water. But more importantly: The top of these columns had engravings in them. Naturally we haven't been able to remove them, but we took pictures and managed to translate them.
[ He is taking his attention away from the screen and picks up a second phone - likely Tony's - to add pictures into the broadcast. Photos taken of said stone structures and the dark underground chamber with the deep pool. The only light source appear to be gently glowing flowers covering the walls. Further pictures show the tables and the engravings on them. On first look these look like random scratches rather than something intended to be legible text. There even seem to be little stick figures carved into the stone. One odd thing to note: Not even the Communications expertise allows one to actually read any of this.
Meanwhile, in the background, three more mothcats have joined Tony on the couch. ]
We already know the Agrii have no written language and I have spoken to some of you that also have come to the conclusion that this other city has never been inhabited by Agrii. Which, I will admit, is a troublesome observation to make. And I believe these tablets add further proof. What you are all looking at here is Graq writing. The content is inconsequential. A once sacred text about the Graq's origin. The language used is even more primitive than the one used by the Graq we were made to believe to be invading the ship of the Agrii.
The new city once has been inhabited by Graq. That much I am certain about now, but it opens up several additional questions. Questions we don't have answers to yet, but I am interested to hear your thoughts on the matter.
[ And he puts the second phone down with a concluding nod while Tony in the background keeps getting swarmed by mothcats. ]
