Glimpse Into What Once Was

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.

[Doing much, much better given the Ray had been the worse off between the two creatures.]
Both have been responding very well to treatment.
no subject
[ A little pause. ]
It's beautiful.

[A hand moved, just over the tank as fingertips hovered just above the water; the Ray actually moving towards Turo's hand and lifting out of the water enough to be touched.
Gentle scritches.]
I agree with you. Rather friendly as well, thought I suppose some of that is out of thanks in having help. If you would like, once we are done with the crystal, you can come with me to return this one to the tide pools in the ocean viewing caves and meet their friend.
no subject
If you like, I certainly wouldn't mind meetin' more guests.
no subject
Now, are you ready for seeing the crystal for yourself? [He could still remember the snow leopard folk girl's feelings and... soothing strength that came from the music box's melody, amongst the other details.]
no subject
Ready as I'll ever be. Sounds weird but I'd like to see what there is to learn.
no subject
[Turo had made his way over, pulling the bag with the crystal from his desk carefully as he spoke.]
Its clear these crystals, and the shrine, tie back to a Leviathan from long before the world was flooded.
no subject
How can you be so sure about that?
[ His tone sounds genuinely curious, not as if he's arguing the point. ]
