Loriane Grey and her team find themselves alone with the temple to start Exploration and Research.
With most of the tents set up some of the crew gathered in the Temple entrance Jules over a mini stove for heating water for MRE’s “Looks like Mac and cheese for supper tonight.”janice more than enthusiastic grabs a spoon full an devours it “mmmhmm delicious” Jules pours water into three more packs and hands them to catie, loriane, Ralph, who were more than pleased to see a bit of hot food come their ways.
“Travis So the Readings were correct, were alone in this Temple.” Loriane looking at the hallway that leads more into the Temple, The sight of drops of water falling from vines that have found a way through the stone architecture, sends a cold feeling down her Spine.” Yes we're all clear when it comes to life in the Temple and now the Gps Scans should paint a clearer picture of what to expect.” Travis replies and taps scan on the auto bot.
“Everyone should get an email with their Map and their location icon display, Allen can you power the internet box.” Allen reached for the internet box antenna. ‘ Powers on everyone check your signal, Turning on the booster.” Everyone that was present checked their wrist screen maps which downloaded the current data the GPS was capable of gathering, Showing the location icons of the crew and their vitals Nice everyone’s in good health” Catie quick to point out.
Loriane looks at the crew noticing their fatigued state. “We will pick this research back up in the morning. Everyone is free to do what they need to do. get ready, and set for tomorrow.” Loriane walks to her tent soaked from her head to toe, once inside her tent she undressed and turned on a lamp for light, she reached in her bag and found some dirty underwear and half dry worn clothes.” It will just have to do.” and she turned in for the night in her damp sleeping bedding. It was cold and the tent walls did what they could in the battle against the storm and the storm is winning. That night in her bed she hugged an extra blanket for warmth.she covered her head with her blanket and fell asleep to the sounds of wind and the patter from rain bouncing off the tent.
“Loriane there is coffee ready if you want.” Jules calls from a campfire he managed to get going.
She sits up in her bed and embraces herself in her cold damp clothes trying to find some warmth. She grabs the other set on the floor and some laundry line to dry them and walks out.Ralph looks out from his tent “ wow a Fire it felt like a lifetime with all the travelling and rain storms. I thought we would never see a fire but to smell it now, brings me comfort.” “Jules, you must be running out of the heat pellets to warm up our MRE’s by now Right?” Allen hands Jules a pack of heat pellets “Thanks Allen, how did you know.” “It's the Jungle. I figured we could use the extra heat pellets for our MRE’s.” “Well, Thank that brain of yours with some delicious coffee.” Jules hands Allen a coffee. Robbie comes out of his tent and sits down on the temple stairs “Catie Can you Please come look at this I got it yesterday during the Travel here.” Robbie pulls up his right pant leg exposing his wound, a cut in his calf that looks like it could use a stitch. Robbie had it bandaged good enough there was no need for it “ let me clean the wound so no infection gets in and we will stitch it up and bandage it back up Alright?” “your the doc.” Catie pulls out her medical kit filled with surgical supplies for all sorts of procedures. Loriane overlooking the crew and the camp while stringing up her clothes to dry walks over to jules for her offered coffee” Smells great here Jules any breakfast MRE’s to go with this coffee?” “yes Ma’am!” jules hands her coffee and MRE pack
Loriane walks back to her tent to grab her pack with her writing supplies.Travis and Jeremy open packs with guns parts and ammo magazines for the weapons not far from loriane’s tent “Loriane come check out the hardware.” Loriane walks up to Travis and Jeremy who already put together two of the weapons. Travis turns to Loraine “here check it out, Advanced M29 rifle” Travis hands Loriane the rifle “It’s capable of quite some fire power, precision accuracy,armour piercing rounds, stun rounds, this baby is ready for our mission.” Jeremy then holds up some mini 12 gauge shotguns “here's one for you ma'am, and a shell belt, the belt holds a box. And here's the box” Loriane passes the M24 back to Travis and grabs her faithful shotgun. “Thankyou but keep it here for now till i'm done catching up with log.” Jeremy takes back the shotgun “no problem all weapons will be ready for the expedition.’ Loriane walks back to her tent with her food and coffee. She sips her coffee and the taste was the sure needed thing for this damp morning. The breakfast sure tasted good and satisfied her hunger. Loriane reaches into her bag for a sweater and pulls out one she got as a birthday gift loriane stripped her damp shirt and put on the sweater which was warm and dry. She grabs her log and returns outside for the temple steps path to grab a sketch of the pyramid. When she got half way down the path she noticed one of the auto bots and Tina studying the Ground soils contents and when she got closer Tina Looked up to Loriane”You gotta see this!” Loriane walks up to Tina and the auto bot.

“ Loriane Look The soil in this area is made up of Tera preta, but here's the kicker we can determine when the soil was made this way, woah..And the readings say 7000 years ago giving our temple here a date when people were here last.” Loriane looks at the data readings and back to Tina. “ The real question here is why they would've ever left and forgotten this temple.” Tina looking at the temple “ That is a mystery.” Tina scratches her head Loriane Sketches the Temple and Loriane starts her journal log as she walks back to her tent to ready for the expedition..
May 11, 2031 9:30am
The day is Sunny for once but that can all change in a moment's notice. The crew's Spirits seem high as we prepare for the expedition Tina has brought to my attention with reading from the soils that the last time any human existence was inhabiting the temple was 7000 years ago. What wonders the temple must hold. Also Robbie was wounded during our travels and kept quiet about it, Till today which means I'm going to have to keep an extra eye on him in case he does something like that again. Also we're going to leave Allen and Robbie and Jules here at the camp while the rest of our crew make out what we can from the temple. I hope everything goes well. I can't afford to lose anyone. Travis has the auto bots functioning in this jungle which is a miracle with all the things considered. And Catie Says we're running low on medical supplies like malaria pills and sunblock which isn't a good sign but now that we're here in the temple things should be alright for Travis while we do our research inside. We're bringing guns along this trip just in case. Now to ready myself for the Temple.
“Hey Loriane, It’s Janice. I wanted to chat about some of the language here I'm seeing on the walls and steps.” Loriane looks up from the journal log “yes let's take a look and head in, it's time to explore.” Loriane exits her tent and walks with Janice towards Travis and Jeremy, arming themselves for the expedition. “Here you go Ma,am.” and Jeremy hands loriane her shotgun and ammo belt with the shells already placed into each individual carrying slot. Loriane puts on her ammo belt and shoulder mounts her shotgun with its sling attachment. And readys her research backpack with equipment from the storage boxes, Everything one might need for such deep temple exploration. Loriane suits up in a coveralls and tightens the head strap on her helmet, Loriane turns the head light on and exits out the army tent to start walking towards the temple with Janice who is ready to show Loriane her findings.
*********
Just outside the entryway walls Janice points out some strange symbols she's never seen.
“This writing is Very Strange it does not match any of the other nearby temples in this Region of the World.” Janice shows Loriane other symbols from temples written down in a notebook Janice Keeps handy. “Great Work here Janice now we know were dealing with a Lost civilization.” Loriane continues down the long hallway that leads down to a staircase that goes down the Temple. The steps are rain water damaged, From the years of rain seeping through the cracks created by viens that still covered the steps and ceiling in some areas, cobb webbing covering the walls with a light blanket. The crew starts inspecting the walls and seeing depictions of ancient cities. “ woah... these depictions, are they. real Ancient cities, ?” Ralph looking at the Depictions in astonishment “we can't. Be certain but i'm sure with enough evidence we can figure out these great cities.” Travis with eyes filled with wonder “ wow there amazing what cities could these have been.” Loriane interjects with “ those of you who want to continue the study of the wall depictions stay here with Ralph, The rest of you follow me.” Janice chose to stay behind with Ralph and take a closer look into the depictions.
The Rest of the crew followed behind loriane and Travis who were both leading the way headlamps on, Travis with the m24 aimed down the path and loriane checking her wrist map making sure the way they were heading was the right path.they came to an open hall with a massive round circle stone door with depictions of Two oldy shaped looking human beings, going to the temple to pray and the door opened up. “Hey Loriane look at this, Here are two levers on each side wonder what they do?” Travis grabs one and Loriane grabs the other “one,two...Three!” There was a notable loud Crack and clank in the round floor design and it started to move. And out of the floor came a pyramid made of platinum and clear quartz crystal. Loriane started to walk a bit closer with Travis.
There was a Loud buzzing sound that became a vibration and light started emitting from the Pyramid sending the closest people into the air spinning around slowly levitating.”holy fucking shit Loriane whats happening?” One foot then the next Loriane started to float into the air almost laying on it horizontally she felt a warm sensation fill her body then her eyes started to see only light, Till it was so bright, It was all she could see. Loriane felt her mind slip into a state of consciousness that was never felt before. Blood flowing to her head she started to slip into a dream state.
