Day MMCXXV, part IV

Eventually, we arrived at the entrance to a large hall, filled with clearly scientists and engineers handling the large device in the middle. It was basically two tall pillars on an elevated platform. Black, with silver lines, going up and sometimes turning left or right, to circle around.

All the machinery seemed to be hidden underneath the floor. The slight humming noise was ever-present and was coming actually from everywhere.

The species of the aliens varied, and they didn't pay too much attention to us.

- Stay here for a moment. I need to talk with the chief engineer. Other participants should be here soon. The gate will be opened as soon as they arrive - informed Katri Xel Avakadaisu.

So we stayed, and watched as the strange alien kept moving forward until they reached another creature, and the two of dem started talking in a language none of us could understand.
