Glimpse Into What Once Was
Type: Video
Sender ID: fractales(Professor Turo)
To: General
Subject: Nilatast Finding
Warnings: TBA
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.

[The emotional impact as well, knowing what was once there and was no more, but still that look into a world before whatever catastrophe befell the place however long—]
I know there is data for more images, and I hope that with time that I can retrieve them with some work in piecing it all together; just means time and patience. Still, this is such a window to see such happy children with even the sea life outside appearing to play along with them that can tell so much.
no subject
[They've barely begun to scratch the surface with Nilatast, he's sure of it. A city of that size, hidden away for so long... it's full of secrets just waiting to be uncovered.]
While the technology angle of it all is still rather new to me, it does seem to be used in conjunction with magic. Perhaps we can be of aid to one another.
no subject
Those I am still working on.
[Anything to try and answer the questions that come from how Nilatast ended up the way it did, along with... just what had been managed once.]
Indeed, and I would be more than happy to work together as I am still working with how deeply magic has been woven into technology. Learning from each other is certainly one of the best ways to share knowledge after all.
no subject
[Gods above help whoever has to be around the two of them as they go in deep on this project— they may just become insufferable.]
Do you have any budding theories about Nilatast's fall, following our first expedition?
no subject
[There is going to be so much to talk about, share, and just show from such working together between them really.]
So far? It would appear as if there was.. quite the battle, likely part of a greater war. There is damage to the city that could only be caused by explosives with devastating force.
