Sphere Today, Gone Tomorrow (Darwin-A): Difference between revisions

The rest of the three days were filled with many more exciting finds and the captain brought back a great many photos, some of which ne featured in after a little bit of arm twisting. Back in nir ready room, Renos spends days reflecting upon an expedition that everyone wished could have lasted longer. How long would it be before they could once again delve into the depths of the sphere and unlock more of its secrets? The captain was just grateful that everyone made it out of the sphere safely, bringing back exciting discoveries of their own.  

Sapphire Team, upon entering their gateway are encounter to a turbolift they cannot control. When it finally comes to a stop they emerge into the middle of a modern looking city. No life signs, and a large amount of hazy dust in the atmosphere are the only distinguishing features. They begin to explore the streets, looking for anything that may yield clues about what is happening here. Finding a promising edifice they prepare to enter.

Now inside the mysterious building Doctor Pond, using her tricorder, determined that the air was okay to breath and they removed their breathing equipment. Moving further down the halls they soon discovered that the further they traveled inward the darker it got. Once at the center of the building, two mirroring spiral staircases led up either side of the building from the ground floor to the second. Following another spiral staircase they found numerous large rooms and halls  separated by transparent walls. Shining their lights through the walls revealed tables and benches filled with tools and apparatus of varying kinds. Doctor Pond got very excited as they looked like medical labs. They entered one and Varaan was able to restore power and lighting to the area. Pond speculated it to be a lab for researching medicine of some sort. Paulsen attempted to access a interface terminal but was unable to do so when the system prompted her for a code.

Lt Pond stated. “What a sad fate. It might have waited millennia for this moment, only to break down. Maybe we can take it back to the Darwin, to study it in a lab… In our own lab, of course.”
