Photographing the Ancient Ruins
31 Oct 2016Darwin
After reports arrived that scientists were close to a breakthrough in triangulating the position of a rumoured ancient ruins, after working on a few frames of grainy video and analysing star positions, focus was shifted to the Synuefe Sector as a general location for the Ruins.This was following the work of CMDR Tiayviel and his initial triangulations to Synuefe, and then CMDR XDeath who triangulated the exact system and moon, and then found the ruins. As always with a Canonn scientist, the discovery was openly shared with the community, and scientific investigations began in earnest.
Synuefe XR-H D11-102, Planet 1 B, -31.7877 -128.9711 was now the focus of intensive investigation.
Fellow Canonn scientists rushed to help with the investigations. At one point on my travels from Obsidian Orbital, the galaxy map almost showed a path to the site, as friends and fellow scientists made their way to the location.
My investigations in Maia would have to wait for another day.

Reports of looters and pirates prompted scientists to bring protection, with regular figher patrols scouring the site to protect scientists on the ground during their investigations.

The first thing to strike any visitor is the scale of the ruins, with obelisks arranged in rows and various geometric patterns.
There even appeared to be what looked like a landing pad for an alien craft.
Some of the obelisks were still active, and displayed alien symbology, and a standard data link scan from the SRV has allowed data samples to be gathered.

As scientists moved around the site, they also discovered ancient artifacts, samples of which have been taken to the Canonn Research Institute, in COL 285 SECTOR IX-T D3-43 for further investigation.

Investigations of the site continue, with other scientists looking at hints of other ruins, and others trying to decipher the meaning of the symbols.
So much science, not enough time.
