Ancestors

We have recovered a cache of documents from within the ancient sphere, each written in an archaic version of our own language. Several of these mention names associated with our most sacred legends. An intricate network of ladders snakes upward from the impact site to a massive tunnel system. Based on the varying ages of the rope fibers, these caverns must have been occupied for several generations as the crash survivors worked their way toward the surface. However, nothing we'd discovered thus far could have prepared us for the final revelation: one of the upper chambers contained a burial site. DNA analysis conducted on the remains within revealed a shocking truth: these people are our ancestors. Where exactly they came from, or why this place was forgotten, is yet unknown. The salvaged documents are in a poorly preserved state, but we have recovered a data log from the sphere. It clearly shows that the vessel arrived in our star system by means of the Astral Rift near …. While clearly less advanced than our own tech, this sphere is a testament to its builders desperation and ingenuity. This was a final effort to escape what must have been a terrible fate on the far side of the rift.
