He...hello Finn,

It has, ur... been a long time since we crossed paths in the void. How are you? You, ur... seemed to be off corporate channels for quite a while - did you ha...have an enjoyable holiday? Th...the Omicrons can get touchy, nice to let off some steam.

I, ur... sadly my social call is going to be tainted with some business matters. Incredibly exciting though! Progress in the xeno-archaeology field is fi..finally paying off, and there are some tr...truly fantastical theories and possibilites being amassed as we di...dig through the finds from the xeno-structure. Ev...everything from odd linguistic clues to, perhaps... K'vosh history. Why di...did they leave, where are they now. Truly exciting. There is however a br...branch of of these theories th...that can only be developed and expanded on in a certain manner.

Article 534-LI, which ur... you are free to come see if you pop by Lab 007, is really intriguing. Dr.Henry here thinks it t...to be some kind of vessel for something. Like an urn or vase wh...which holds some kind of matter. Cross-referencing to ur... human history, there are some bizarre similarities to Nordic and Egyptian burial rituals. However... so...some of us are more inclined to b...believe it is some kind of ur... compact farming apparatus. Not quite su...sure how else to describe it currently.

What do...does this mean? Well, urm... I would like to request permission to ready Lab 007 for xeno-biotic experimentation. We ma...may need to be dealing with live samples of bo...both the organisms around the structure or, urm... larger creatures. A se...security oerhaul as well as new equipment. The team here ca...can organise setting it up, we ur... just need the budget and senior approval. I ca...cannot deny there are some risks with this avenue. Political and ur... biological. The team is prepared to ta...take all precautions necessary.

Please let me he...hear what you have to say on the matter.

Good evening Thalia -

Apologies that I wasn't able t' address your comm during our conference in Delta, though... well you were there, and you understand.

You have me quite intrigued though regarding your potential research from the artifacts you've recovered. K'Vosh history? Any findings into such would be an incredible find. Perhaps it would provide answers that many across Sirius have sought. Time will tell indeed.

Now, Article 534-LI. I am very interested in seeing this in person, especially given what you mentioned. I'm curious as t' what you mean by a "compact farming apparatus". Yet has similarities t' ancient Sol burial rituals? Please forward any findings you have thus far t' Lab 001 for review as well. The more we can dedicate t' these findings, the better. Though, what exactly do you mean when you say... "larger creatures"?

In any event, please send all changes requested t' my office for review before you begin though, and I will see about allocating resources t' Lab 007. If what you are requesting is tangible, then i see no reason why your request can't be approved.

I look forward t' reviewing your findings, as well as what is need for Lab 007.

Be...beautiful is it not? Above is a demonstration of th...the inscriptions we fo...found on the internals of the alien structure after cutting our way through a particular part; generated from imagery of fa...faint markings. It dr...dropped us into a chamber about the si...size of 'Leven's biodome. Inside i...it was largely empty. Derelict, yet th...there were items littered here and there. We suspect most of th...this is insiginificant. What wa...was fascinating was that ur... this kind of script was littered across the caverns walls. Fascinating, is i...it not? It is unlike an...any form of scripture w...we've come across before. Notice th...the careful use of geometry? Th...this suggests a distinctly order inte...intelligence behind it. I am sure you can ur... take a bet on who we think this belongs to, yet of course there is no way to know wi..without further studies. The, ur... key to solving th...this is cross-reference. There must be mo...more items with this scripture out there - pottery work, carvings, mo...more structures. Perhaps fortune would ur... even smile upon us and pr...provide us a Rosetta stone? Finn. Th..this is one of the most si...significant finds in Archaeology for de...decades!

Re...regarding Article 534-LI, I do...doubt you want to see pictures of stonework. But ur.. imagine a large stone wok st...standing in the middle of this cavern. Now, we truly do not know what this was for but some of the team theorise it to be some sort of ritualistic loci. However, look at this...

D...do you see? That is a ancient pi...piece of biological matter fused into the outer layer of this stone wok. This little bugger, which ur... i call Jeffery... Jeffery here co..could be a key to understanding both what this ur... wok's purpose is but also perhaps more importantly about those who used it. Finn. We neeeeed to allocate resources on this!

Afternoon Thalia -

What you just sent me is astounding. I want you t' dedicate your entire team t' this. If you don't already, I'll grant you access t' some of the more secure files I have that may help in your work on this artifact.

As far a budget, I've allocated funds from some of our smaller projects, and the remainder of the funds from our R&D work on the Ingenuus Power Cores. I want t' see status updates as frequently as possible.

Lastly, I do not want any research materials t' leave your lab, and I want you t' draft up a Non-Disclosure agreement with all in your lab, adjacent t' the one they all signed upon joining the IRG. Nothing is t' get out, and only select few from within the IRG I want t' have access t' this.

Incredible work Dr. Thorn. Let's see what mysteries we can unfold!
