Shattered!

Frustration on … as our science team has failed to remove the artifact from the crystal stalagmite. Perhaps working with too much vigor, the team's efforts caused the pillar to shatter. Worse, the artifact within was damaged beyond recognition, and all traces of psionic energy have vanished from the chamber. One minor consolation is that the crystal itself could prove extremely valuable. While we may never fully understand the intentions of the precursor civilization that built this place, at least our efforts have not entirely been in vain.
