After the fuss, Ivan and Lotti went into the cargo bay looking at that unidentified object.
“This thing…” Lotti was confused. “This weird shaped thing belonged to the old humans?”
“Haven’t touched this since you got me fixing the grill,” Ivan explained. “In fact, I am quite interested in this thing. I am going to run some tests. You can go around the ship in the meantime.”
Lotti went for a tour while Ivan was busy. She got more upset as she learned more about Kozak. It was a fine ship, easily accommodating a crew over hundred, it had everything they would need as well. Kozak explained that missions for a survey vessel are always important, searching for a habitable planet may take extremely long time, and probing for useful mineral or elements are never easy. This only made Lotti more bitter over the fact that she still hadn’t got the grill she’d asked for.
When Lotti returned to the cargo bay, Ivan had yet to finish half of the tests. She had nothing to do and just circled around the object until noticed the golden disc in the middle. She noticed that there were some symbols on it, but she wasn’t sure about the meaning. “Ivan, what is this?”
“Hmm?” Ivan walked to the golden disc and looked at it. “This could be the symbol for wave? As for the others, even you asked….”
Lotti looked at Ivan, dissatisfied.
“Sigh,” Ivan shook his head. “Kozak, got any ideas?”
“Negative. Insufficient samples to decrypt the symbol. Unable to analysis or deduce meaning,” Kozak answered. “However, another object was detected inside this golden disc.”
“Inside? Another object?” Lotti questioned.
