The security guard waved them through the cordon and pointed wordlessly at the hole in the ground. It went deeper than the eye could see and deeper than the tricorder could scan but the most unusual feature that was obvious to the naked eye was the spiraling staircase that ringed the borehole in precisely cut out stone steps leading forever down into darkness…

Stark looked at the start of the spiraling staircase. “Think I’d rather go wrestle a Gorn,” he said with a grimace, “The weirdness meter just went off the scale”.

OOC: Would Julien’S eye make out anything else? - Julia
OOC can it detect energy signatures?
OOC: it can see better in the dark and detect heat signatures, kind of like sniper rifles can today (infrared), but only if unobscured, not through walls like in the action movies ;)
OOC :-) Got it. The apart from seeing a bit further down the spiral stair you wouldn’t notice anything else.
Orvos studied the stairs briefly. “It appears that for whatever reason this is here for, someone was meant to descend its depths. Weird, after all, is part of the job.” He glanced back at the group. “I’ll go first,” he said taking a faithful step forward in curiosity. “Anyone with any commentary or questions, don’t hesitate!”

“Lay on,” Stark said with a grin, “Weird is part of the job as you say”.

Still peering down Julien said “I’ll come with, climbing is my hobby, and fall injuries are fun to heal.” he said dryly.

As they started out down and around the spiral staircase encircling the outer rim of the borehole they started to pick up a glow far, far down in the distance. Wherever this thing led, it was getting closer and closer to the molten core of the planet.

The stairs seemed to go on forever, but at last they were seeing a light. Orvos stopped, deciding that perhaps his drone would get a better visual quickly. He pulled out a circular device and attached it his temple. Whatever the drone’s readings, he would see them in his mind’s eye so to speak. He aimed his hand downward and released the drone. It shot out of his wrist device and expanded itself to its full capacity, three feet long and about a feet wide.
“Let’s see if we can get a better look before we get all the way down there,” declared Orvos as he mentally sent the drone lower and lower down the shaft.
