Weapons Cache

The cache on … was not easy to unearth, as it was buried deep below the ruined city in which it was discovered. The excavation effort was further slowed by the caution required to avoid setting off whatever is stored in the container. Now the structure stands before us and is ready to for investigation. Complex alien script is carved into the sides of the cache that might hint at its content.

Our … have finished translating the alien inscriptions and have discovered a warning engraved into the cache. "Do not under any circumstances allow any government to have access to this armory during wartime!"

Whatever weapon was stored here was too destructive even for a civilization that was capable of reducing themselves to ash. All that is left is to carefully open the armory and claim our prize.

It seems like our … mistranslated the word 'library' as 'armory'. We had assumed the incorrect meaning of 'source of power', which was only apparent after opening the cache and being greeted by further xeno script. "If you are reading this, that means that we survived the war and are now ready to rebuild. I spent many long months creating this library while our world's situation worsened, accompanied by my friend and faithful companion. But since you are reading this, that means that someone did survive, so please take part in your heritage. All the cultural works of our people my friend and I could gather are collected here, and let the first you see be a representation of my dearest friend."

The remains of a bipedal mammal and a metal statue of a four-legged long-snouted animal stands under the plaque.
