"Who's this Dr. Legrange? Can he help with the device or only the artifact?"

"And where the hell is this planet Kraatar?"

"If it sounds like we only have roughly two months, we better start doing something quick!"

"If you have not figured the device out yet, please tell us what you have tried so we will not waste time."

Kyrillian says, "We have tried the machine with these disks.  They change color when they are placed in the slots and the buttons are pushed.  He tried various combinations but didn't seem to get it right.  Beyond that, I don't know many details because Kyrtok was the one doing the experiments, not me."

He says, "Kraatar is a system not too distant, a mountainous, rugged planet is habitable there, and it's where the famous scientist Dr. Legrange lives.  He will soon be presented with an award.  It's his genius mind that may be helpful here, not any particular knowledge he has."

OOC: For those of you who've been around when the adventure voting was going on, you might remember that Kraatar and Dr. Legrange are part of the setting and plot for Dark Side of the Moon.  I will be merging this adventure into that one to keep it fresh.

OOC: I guess we need some combat in here to wake you guys up.  :)

Sorry, been a little busy.

DSotM is one of my all time favorites!

I'm ready to go and BTW, combat is cool!

It's not going to start just yet though...

OOC: I think you guys need a little push regarding the "device."  I'll do intelligence checks and things for you but you will feel very satisfied if you solve it yourselves.  Feel free to experiment with it.  It won't hurt anyone and requires a few tries to see patterns emerge.

I was hoping some of the 'tech' guys on the team would be into it more.

This group doesn't seem to be as much into puzzles and riddles as some of my other groups.  The riddle thing on the Pegasus also seemed to stop everyone dead in their tracks.

Killed me.  Not good at them at all.

C'mon people, let's get this going again.

Hammer says, "We should go try out the machine and see what it can do."  He goes back to the main room and pushes the button on it.

While Hammer is at the machine, Desiraye stands a little back and with her hand near her holster just in case something'jumps' into the room and decides to start the alien invasion early.

S'Krllk watches Hammer, and states, "Perhaps we need to re-arrange the lenses to match the colors of the stars in that message."

"I'm almost postitve the way wwe first saw them is the orer they should be in!"

Kri'lik looks at the machine to see if there is any Sathar writing on it as well.

There is no other writing on the machine.

"Am I wrong?"

I'm not sure what you mean by "order."  How they were placed in the machine initially when you entered the room was incorrect.  You will have to put the proper colors of disks into the machine slots in the proper order for it to work.

When the black hand drops the item and disappears, you hear something from behind you in the room, like something moving, yet when you look, nothing is there.  It came as though it were standing on top of the bed and sounded like someone taking a step across the bed.

The device can fit in the palm of your hand.  It is round and has a pulsing glow that looks like this:

"WHOA!  What the frak was that?  Did you see that?" Desiraye says excitedly when she sees the hand appear and drop something in the room.

Ever the curious one Professor Kri'lik moves over to the new items and waves his gauntleted left arm above it scanning the device with various gear.

Using Fauna-CAS(Formerly bioscanner), Flora-CAS, Motion Tracker, and Envirokit (Bioscanner, Vaporscanner, Geoscanner).

The device shows up as something that is not normal matter.  It shows up as unknown, but it also does not radiate anything that appears damaging.  You should be able to touch it without being harmed.

As Kri'lik is scanning and you are all watching, you hear a "bang" from behind you, like a foot or boot slapping the floor.  Even as you turn...and see nothing there...the strange round object lifts up and begins floating out the door.  You will have to run to catch up because it appears that something not visible to your eye is beginning to run down the hall with it.

As Kri'lik begins to run down the hall after the object he says, "Screw this.." He then draws is holstered laser pistol and sets it for 2SEUs and fires several times at where he would thinks a body might be...

Tha twas the same thing going through Desi's head when she heard Kri'lik say that and saw the object head out the door.  Once again, in pursuit, Desi draws out her laser pistol and takes off after the object and whoever/whatever grabbed it.
