Glimpse Into What Once Was

Hello everyone- pardon the bit of a mess.
[Papers strewn about, along with a few tools in view, as Turo picked up his shellphone with excitement there in his voice. Setting it down on somethin out of view as he was moving and turning out lights in an office after pushing his desk out of the way.]
As others may have been, perhaps still are, working on various pieces of technology recovered from down so deep, there was an item I discovered in Nilatast that I have finally gotten working! To a small degree, at least— I have only been able to recover one thing on it, but...
[There was an item that was the size of a jewelry box, covered in stars and constellations formed in colored enamel and shined up jewels, that Turo had picked up and was sitting down in the middle of the space he had cleared. Pressing a 'button' at the top.
It sparked to life as suddenly a still image was projected above the box; full of living color and capturing a moment of laughter and fun. The light having warmth and even those creatures outside of such large windows seemed to sparkle. Looking as if everything could be touched—]
Look at this! [Almost looked as if Turo was there, moving to sort of sit by the picture box.] I was able to retrieve the data for this image, I might have found what worked as a photo album, but the item itself came from within one of the ruined buildings down there.
They lived there, played in that city.
[Of course there weren't just human children there, smiling faces all. This was something either a parent or some child that had also been there in the moment wanted to treasure even after the day was over.]
Just a small view into what once was, I suppose.

There were quite the number of consoles and other machines, and likely more not found—perhaps all connected to something deeper in that city. The implications of that are quite amazing.

[A wry chuckle. This technology is definitely beyond him, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't want to learn! Who knows, he might pick it up pretty quick, especially the more mechanical aspects of the repair.]
no subject
[Learning while doing could be the best way to learn, actually seeing what did and didn't work. The potential was surely there.]
no subject
[And then a pause.]
Have you recovered well enough?
no subject
[So recovered enough that he wasn't having to be as careful with what he did. Rested long enough, even if with someone at his side to ensure that.]
no subject
I understand that feeling well. Let me know when you're ready to go and I'll make preparations on my end. Quite curious as to what we'll be able to uncover there.
no subject
Give me a few days to settle a few other things on land, all the better to gather a few items to take as well and a few water proofed bags, and I certainly shall.
no subject
[With a friendly grin he'll disconnect the line, already preparing to busy himself so he can be ready whenever.]
