*Ben is loudly holding his breath* – Did you see that? It looks like if_ Ben are you okay? *Ben is still loudly holding his breath* – Hmm, I’m not sure to have understood. Hmmmm *finally breathes* Oxygen! And I’m alive! Alive! Ahh_because_. Would have told me that there may have no air, before we crossed? And how could I have known that there was air otherwise? Well, and what about visiting this planet? Did you hear that? Yes I did, the portal just went off, but as far as I know, the average skins/”>portal lifespan is pretty short. And the position of this one is strange. I suppose it’s a safety feature, the portal of this planet must be obstructed. And rather letting us in an eternal particle state, the expediting portal has generated a temporary exit. So if we want to leave, we have to find the portal, the real one. Indeed. But exactly, we have to find the stele that will allow the opening. And if possible, before we starve. – Seems like a good plan. We are in a totally preserved environment. No wind, no signs of recent rain. But the presence of the oasis disturbs me. – How come? – Well, look around you, what do you see? I see sand, a lot of sand. – Precisely. – What’s the point? This is not natural, I think this planet had been spoiled, there may have been a catastrophe that deleted any forms of life, except in some rare places. The surroundings may have protected this zone. – A catastrophe? Of which nature? – I don’t know but we may learn more in this building over there. Do you think the builders are still here? – I don’t think so. This tower still standing is a miracle. It’s looked it’s been here for a while. Let’s have a closer look. At least we’ll not die of thirst. This water looks quite drinkable. The tower seems to have had a rough strike at the top. – Look. These are scaffolding. The absence of wind and humidity conserved them. Scaffolding? You mean it’s under construction? – It had never been finished, the catastrophe must have put an end to this enterprise. Well then, bear down! I know you’re aching to go for it. – What? Go to see that’s is going on Doctor, I will look for what we can discover in these ruins while you are away. Oh, Doctor! – Yes? – Just avoid to get lost and try nothing without letting me know. We are on an unknown planet, not on an excavation site. – Don’t worry! I’m starting to understand. Where is the beginning? Here. – Corlan, representative of the Silents. Omitas, great Priest of the Milaei. Where is the beginning? Here. – Corlan, representative of the Silents. Omitas, great Priest of the Milaei. Salen, follower of Omitas, master of the dictators. Are introducing to His Majesty. My king, I’m coming to you to beg for you support. – How could you listen to those who ignore the Faith, Majesty ? I will listen to everyone asking audience Omitas, for your pleasure or not! Speak Corlan, please. The war is raging, I would not be able to hold the hatred of my people any longer__ And I haven’t particularly the desire to do so_ What did lead to with situation? My father had told me that we’ll have this discussion you and me. I hope you understand that no matter the camp I will choose, there will be millions of deaths. This situation could have been avoided if those impious hadn’t wrecked our temples and desecrated our history! Which was an answer to the slaughter organized by your troops Omitas! Don’t forget it! All of this was needful to wash this land from your illegitimate presence! Our kingdom is the laughing stock of the gods! Well, they can laugh we don’t care! But you Omitas, you, when this war starts, I’ll cut your head. Majesty, I’m the witness of these atrocities uttered by Omitas. And of the construction of this tower which leads to nothing.. Salen, stop it, your free interpretation of our texts is not relevant in this discussion. Quite the opposite! You and your bewildered followers are determined to climb to the sky, with taxes always more heavy, to finance your immoderate project. All of that is the hugest blasphemy than our kingdom has ever known! We’re lost_ Lost_ What have you done? I won’t support any crazy men. You Omitas, you Corlan, you are unworthy to represent the people. Since the war can not be avoided, I’ll fight you both. Now, get out! I know what happened, John. – Don’t ask me why but I also do. Any success with these inscriptions? – Humm yes, it’s not that complicated after all. The writing is close to the Ancient Greek linear B with an important iconography influence that looks like the Egyptian hieroglyphs. It seems quite complex but_ – But? – Well, yeah it’s quite complex. – *laughs* Alright. Also Professor, I would like to climb on the top of the tower. I bet the landscape is fantastic! Well, there is a ladder over there, but if I were you, I would mind the fall. And even more, if you fall, I will be in a bad situation, so avoid it. I’ll do my best, Doctor. Hey, it looks like the Moon, doesn’t it? – You know John, the Earth isn’t the only planet to have a satellite. It’s rather common. Even some planets has several of them. Professor, I didn’t ask you but_ did you leave someone behind (on Earth)? Except Sweep? – Sweep? – You know, my cat. – Ah yes, the cat. I should catch up! Where is my phone? Hmm, Doctor, I don’t think that this planet is covered by the Network. Surely _ Fortunately Sélenne has my keys and she knows how to take care of him. – Sélenne? You hid it to me! – No no, she is just the secretary of the residence. – Ahh yes! Lovely lady. – You wouldn’t interest her. And you? Somebody on your path? – A long time ago yes, but not anymore. – I see_ Well, did you find out where the portal might be? – Well, it’s quite strange, it seems to be right here but there is nothing. No activation stele, just an enigma. An enigma? Tell it, I’m not bad. – As you want_ ‘As the four stars of Oria, Kamos, Satria and Etrium, sparkling in the obscurity and opening to the residence of the gods, the sacred track will open up with the radiance of the four gleams, finally revealing the true faith. It sure it isn’t as easy as the ones on the back of cereals boxes _ But we’ll get it. – I hope so. Let’s sleep on it, have some rest Doctor. – I’ll stay to read these inscriptions again. The solution may be in these. Come here! Come! Well. Time to bath. Damn flask. What is this_ ? Professor, any progress with the enigma? – It’s in progress_ but what are those noises? In progress?! How much? – Give me a few more hours John, we are not in a urge, are we? By the way if you could avoid to make all these noises I may be able to focus. – Listen, the situation has changed, you have 2 minutes to open the passage. Are you kidding? – Doctor ! Aliens just shot me from one of their star ship and I think they won’t stop there. I have some bad news, aliens don’t like tourists! It’s a joke, isn’t it ? Because if it’s a joke I must applause, so much done for a prank that’s impressing me. And you also made the noise of an explosion, it’s crazy! It wasn’t a joke, was it? Okay, we are going to die. – No, we aren’t going to die here. You will resolve this enigma really fast! It’s not like we had a choice ! So, “As the four stars of Oria, Kamos, Satria and Etrium”_ I’m getting sick of these stars! According to the inscriptions these stars are quite close and made a shape of a square together so we have to find a cubic shape, John! (*Minecraft joke*) You have to develop a bit more – Well, well, a rough square! We need a square logically composed with four points, making angles like the stars in the sky. Hurry up! Some soldiers are coming toward us! “Sparkling in the obscurity“, a metaphor to say that these four elements must light up anything around them. Making a ‘glowing’ light. Shorten! We don’t have much time! – You’re a military, yes or no? Protect me! – With what? Some pebbles?! Try to do some ricochets if you want! – Be quick or it will be with your head I will do some ricochets! “And opening to the residence of the gods, the sacred track is opening up to the radiance of the four gleams, finally making the true faith visible.” A way signaled by four gleams lighting the obscurity up! Some flames in the nights, some_ John! Flames! Some flames! Give me your lighter! – It’s not the time to have a smoke! – Not for that idiot! Give me this lighter! Take it. Here it is! The passage! – Great, now jump! – What? Into that? But we don’t know what there is down there! – Jump! That was close. – We got some time. Anything broken? No, it’s okay. – Good. Now we have to find the portal. From what I’ve read up to the surface, it’s possible the stele is here. What is this place? – Let’s me look around. – Be quick. What is it? – Doctor, it’s the death knocking at the door. We must hurry, did you find something? I think. These tunnels were owned by a dissident confraternity from the official religion. They had a different faith and they might have used the portal to find a kind of “Heaven”. The ones at the surface were building the tower to reach the sky, they thought the answer wasn’t beyond the clouds but through the portal. Come to the facts, in what is this important for us? – That what you are seeing right here is a laser able to reach up to 5000°C. – WHAT? Did I miss something? – Did you want the short version, yes or no? So roughly, our dear impious friends succeeded to activate the portal and to send an expedition. Except that on the other side, their paradise became a icy hell. The receiving portal was in a frozen cave, surely surrounded by several layers of ice. To pierce the ice wall and to reach what was hiding behind, they made a bewildering technology, working thanks to the solar energy. This laser. I can’t pretend I’m not impressed. – But the portal? The transmitting portal, the one in this planet, where is it? Just behind the pile of rubble. – What? How can we go through that? Did you hear what I told you or not? I said we have a laser with a super powerful ray! Seriously, do you think that some sand would disturb it? And it’s also pointing directly to the portal so it’s not really difficult to find it. Good, and how do you activate the laser? – You put your finger on the _’dark’ side of the situation. The dark side_? – But I’m on it, I’m on it! – Do you hear these noises? I do_, yes. – Just understand that they are working too, now hurry up. – Always a little word for motivation, right? John? *John in lost in his thoughts* John? Huh, what? – I think I have the solution. But you are not going to like it. Explain me. – These apprentice sorcerers didn’t know how it was really working, it’s obvious this technology was unfamiliar to them. And they plugged the laser on the activation place of the portal. – So where is the activation stele? What I’m trying to tell you is that the activation stele and the laser are the same thing. So to activate the portal we have to activate the laser? – You got it, but there is something else. The laser has a limited energy and its batteries may not last long. So the laser will need a little time for a new activation. In this amount of time we’ll have to run toward the portal. – How much time do you thing we have? 20_, may be 30 if we are lucky. – Minutes? – Seconds. It’s short. – It is. – Go for it. Okay, I need the stone to activate everything. You should lean against the wall. NOW! Seriously? They are coming, run to the portal! Run and don’t turn around!
