Red hair swayed back and forth as Takuya's protege feverishly flipped through his books in attempts to decode the hieroglyphics. It had been a couple hours since he had started and it worried him that he wouldn't be able to decipher the meaning. Every symbol he seemed to come across only gave away to increasing the difficulty of finding what this all meant, each symbol resembling a set of hieroglyphics but, none of it had any meaning from what he could find. Takuya believed that the symbols were a sort of alien language, which would give way to why it was so difficult to decode. He didn't know if he believed in it all being alien in nature but, he was not going to tell the his mentor how he felt. He had gotten into archaeology to study the past, specifically dinosaurs, so he never thought that alien stuff would be part of his studies; the alien rocks did present him with a curiosity to an extent.

Scott's mind wandered for a bit as he thought about the possibilities in what alien tech could mean, a breakthrough of this magnitude would be the discovery of the century. Fortunately, and unfortunately, Takuya had restricted Scott from speaking about it to anyone. It was of his fear that another company would do something wrong with the information and the rocks, the rocks in question giving off massive energy readings. A energy source of this magnitude could change the world, for better or worse depending on who got their hands on it. For Scott though, he felt drawn to the red stone in particular; a small feeling that he couldn't pin down but, he was willing to find out why.  

Suddenly the overhead lights began to spark before the rest of the electrical system started to flicker. Something was up and Scott brace himself as the room started to shake violently. The rocks shaking more than the room, Scott staring directly at them. His adrenaline shot up almost immediately as he noticed the server start to smoke. Despite Scott's instincts kicked to tell him to help the professor, he had noticed too late to make it to him in time.
