“No sir, they did not fight giant ‘chickens’.” Toveka frowned slightly though the twinkle in her eyes he saw let him know she had caught the jest and refused to rise to the bait.

The woman nodded, “It seemed that the imagery of the bird character has been pronounced at other sites as well. However, it seems as though this figure is much less common, only appearing in large quantities at the site from which these pieces came from.” She paused for a moment to bring up a picture on her padd. “Some pictures also from this site also depict more of this assumed ‘battle’.” Displayed on the padd was a more detailed image of what seemed to be a female shaped figure holding her arms above her head. More interestingly, above her was a familiar shape facing the bird.

OOC Note: After messing with formatting for the kagillionth time, I’m just going to describe what I was trying to do. I was trying to make an ascii Connie class, and that is what they see. Search up ‘star trek ascii’ and go to images to see what I was trying to do.

OCC I think it was amazing in what you were trying to do Cog. :) Way smarter than me but we knew that since the first day we met at the academy ~ (smiles Kate)

Jessica cocked her head to the side as she looked at the image. So far she had batted and struck out two for two with this art identification experiment but this time, they could not say she was wrong on her guess. Well, they could but she would need a lot of convincing that what she was looking at wasn’t a Constitution-class starship from the 2260’s. “Okay so call me crazy but is that,” she pointed a finger at the image above the woman. “Is that…the…Enterprise,” Jessica asked. The design of the ship had changed a lot in the almost one and half centuries from when Kirk and his crew set out in Starfleet to explore strange new worlds yet there was no mistaking the shape of one of the Federation’s most famous ships.

“And if it is why is an image of it on an ancient Romulan artifact that probably was created when we were just learning that the Earth was flat,” Jessica asked.

Toveka tried to imagine the timeline implications. “There have been several timeline anomalies over the centuries. Perhaps it is a depiction of one such ‘anomaly’ that seemed to make an impact on the Romulan Empire at the time. Though I am unaware of such a thing in our history.” It did intrigue her enough to wonder if there was somehow a sect of the government that had buried such information and the temple as well. It wouldn’t be the first time, though… and troubled her more than the comment about chickens from her mentor and supervisor.

More pictures were shown. “I’ve noticed that the common theme of the depictions of this female figure usually have something else with her, as here she is seeming to pelt the bird with suspiciously torpedo shaped objects, and here she is seen slamming what seems to be a rather broken cube into it.”

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

Toveka frowned slightly. “So you are thinking this is a depiction of what? Time travel and worship of a Federation ship? As well as some sort of Borg interaction? That makes no sense. There is nothing of that in our history.” She was at a loss. It made no sense to her. Why would the history of something like that have been hidden? The history as well as the shrine were a complete mystery. She glanced around. “Does anyone know where we can get the files of what occurs during time travel expeditions? Perhaps we can figure it out from the Federation side versus the Romulan side.” It was the only thing she could think of that would help.

“Let’s head to my office,” Jessica suggested. “Duncan you can help me sift through the files we have and you can see if anything rings a bell as related to Romulan culture. The powers that be aren’t too talkative with the gen pop about living in a real life ground hog day but maybe there is something that correlates. I do know there are several instances of the USS enterprise going back and forth in time but to the best of my knowledge I only remember it being about Earths history,” Jessica confided.

Toveka nodded to the XO and moved to follow her. If they could find out about past time trips, it may help them understand the archival artifacts they had found. But it would also open up a plethora of questions she wasn’t sure she could legitimately pursue without toppling all her beliefs into a pile of rubble as big as the debris field her planet now covered not too far from where she now stood.

Before they could leave, the lights flickered for a few seconds, before the room was drenched in darkness. A second later, the lights turned back on, bathing the seemingly unchanged room in light again.

Jessica looked at Duncan. “If you need more from the budget to pay the utility bill you could have just asked,” She said but with a more concerned expression on her face. Power fluctuations on a space station were never a small thing.

Tapping her comm badge Jessica looked for an answer. =/\=Operations we just lost power for a minute here in the science labs. Status?=/\=
