The Targe-Bearer

The Targe-bearer's notes have led us to an electrical substation which once served this maintenance yard. It looks like their expedition broke an atmospheric seal on the facility; there are comparatively few signs of decay here. Dust-covered cable ducts form colonnades around dozens of monitors. It is down one such aisle of monitors that we found trace remains from sentients of a different species. The Targe-bearer's expedition described this as a group of molluscoid technicians - their still-preserved bodies huddled together for mutual protection or warmth. The records also note two attempts to restart the millennia-old substation, using tools which are inferior to ours. There's a chance we could complete this effort - and in so doing, make further excavation much easier.
