chapter 10 artefact dig

dig site

two months later. new life season (spring)

"didact we found an entrance over here. it wont open though." said one of the volunteering diggers that live near the village of "Calcaria". these people where learning about how to use tech and getting an education thanks to the help of the didacts metal men and blue flooding creatures called "omni-bots" and "huragoks".

"good I will be there in a few minutes with some extra bots i want all people to pull back for new and let the bots do the work from here. I don't want any complaining as this building has not been opened in over 1 million plus years. there maybe a sickness down there and it might still be there. best leave it to the sentinels and omni-bots to go first after an airlock has been made." with that Ridick turned off the comm system and got up and headed straight for the pilots secondary seat behind the main pilot.

The transport Ridick was in was his privet shuttle. different from the overs of the carryalls in size this new shuttle was made to transport multiple bots and people with room to hold lots of computer equipment.

when Ridick sat down he put his helmet on and connected a wire from the back of his chair to his helmet. a new Heads Up display appeared on the didacts visor. smiling he new it will still take a few more minutes.

Few minutes later

dig site landing pad 1A.

getting out of the transport ridick looked around the area for a bit before heading to the command tent.

when he got inside he almost had a stroke as laid out before him was loads of artefacts left from both the gau'ld and the alterians. "how the hell did gau'ld tech get down there." hissed the didact.

This was outrageous. them defilers had been here. clearly pissed at what he was seeing he said." well is anyone going to tell me". "my Didact be quiet and I will explain." said a village elder. "well" said the didact. "these gau'ld artefacts were found near the village my didact".

calming down the didact said in a more calm voice "why bring them here then".

"when thought you would want them My lord." "I will take them but I don't want any surprises."

Mean while

"oh god no". says Kelly as she runs back to the bathroom again. "Kelly are you OK" says Kate. it was obvious that she was concerned about her daughter in law. "much better now."

"how far along are you". "almost three months". "does ridick know". "I want to surprise him. and its twins two". said a very happy librarian. "twins Ridicks gonna have a heart attack. You gotta record it for me". said the laughing mother in law.

back at the dig site

things where moving more faster than Ridick thought it would. but the second he told the omni-bots and sentinels to open the door he started to feel nerves. the second he got a visual from the sentinels eye he gasped at what he saw. there in front of him was a finished destiny class vessel. the tech he could get from it was enormousness weapons and shielding but also a ship that probably needed some minor repairs but over-wise fine.

that was the beginning of the good news for him as the second the omni-bots set up a wireless connection of the structure that must have been some sort of shipyard or repair facility. He got access to the mainframe with much difficulty. There were weapon schematics for weapons including a prototype weapon called plasma torpedoes and the pulse laser beam battery's and gauss battery's.

"sir the ring of the gods has been found". said the scout ridick sent out.

"excellent omni-bot send a Company of war-bots and five builders i want the Astria Porta secured and locked down till the fortifications are set up". said a very excited didact.

"complying". said the omni-bot in question as it started to walk away.

"You R110 is it safe to enter the facility". "Yes lord Didact from what the sentinels can tell there is no biological contaminates in the facility. How ever we have yet to check the full facility. but from the logs there are another 5 shipyard's although they do not have any ships in them". Said the R110 in question.

"You have 3 says to make sure that place is safe R110. now if you excuse me I am going back to the capital".

with that Ridick left the dig-site and got onto the shuttle and started his journey home.
