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.

Hey, I thought I was the one doing the uplifting-feel-good-talk, here.
[He laughs warmly. Honestly, it's been a while since Zack's felt much like a hero that's done much of anything significant. But maybe he's wrong. Maybe he has made a difference in some way. That's all he really wants.]
no subject
Perhaps one was due for you, and I mean every word.
[Every time they ever met he had seen a sort of shining potential. No matter how small an action could seem when done in the moment, what came from it could be long lasting.]
no subject
Yeah, maybe I did need to hear that today.
[He grins.]
Just remember to put me on the roster if you go do any more digging into this, got it?
no subject
[There was so much lost, and clearly there to be found; no matter how deep. Dangers created by remnants of pain, fear, and anger... Yes, there was more to be found not just in that lost city.
The vast tundra and even desert come to mind—]
You can also call on me if you stumble upon anything as well.
🎀
And Turo has given him the much-needed motivation boost he needed today.]
You got it, Prof.
