Location:
Hidden Tomb on Easter Island
Before
heading into the tunnels, CX made sure that Mother Superior was definitely
out. He left her cuffed like the others for pick up.
CX followed as Adamas lead the team into the
hallway. When Red Hawk stepped out of line, CX took his place. He knew he
couldn’t follow Red Hawk if he vibrated through the wall. CX’s sensors told him
the others were slowing down as they walked. He surmised that the darkness of
the tomb was affecting them. CX sensors were bouncing off the stone walks and
reflecting back at him. He had to shorten their range to keep from being
overloaded with false images.
"Man
this place gives me the creeps. Make sure you don't lose sight of the
person in front of you. This looks like a great place for an
ambush."
CX
had a large handful of bearings grasped in his hand. He anticipated
trouble and would use the metal as a defense for the others in the group before
defending himself.
When Centurion X entered the corridor he saw
it was lined with ancient hieroglyphics. The walls, ceiling and floor were all
entirely covered. He could not read them and CX thought if he spent time on it
he might be able to figure them out.

Note: Would require an inventing point and a successful inventing roll}
Across the Amulet CX said, "There are heiroglyphics all over these
walls. I'm recording them for later
review. Thunderhead, do you think you
can read them?"
CX had heard the Elementals speaking of
Thunderhead’s role as an archeologist. "Not wanting to make assumptions. I can figure them out with time, but you
might be a little quicker at it."
The Black Orchid sends over the amulet, "I'm not seeing anything yet, but give me a
few moments to look at these hieroglyphs."
Via the telepathic amulet, Thunderhead
replied to CX, "Come quick! We need
you. Supay is here!"
Jack Frost did a double take. "That's not Supay," he said
via the amulet. "That's Pietor, the
craven sorcerer who summoned me back to the World of Men! Unless my eyes are betrayed by some
spell!"
Thunderhead entered the hallway where the
other Guardians were.
Over
the Amulet CX thought, 'Somebody watch my
back. I think these hieroglyphics have something to do with whatever you
guys are seeing. I'm trying to figure them out now. Orchid, are you
seeing the glyphs? They may be hieroglyphics but it’s just a code.
We can break it down and get to the bottom of this.'
Jack Frost followed Thunderhead into the
corridor.
Red Hawk
tried to stay focused on the mission at hand. "Forget the glyphs. Find Jacco and the Gate. Everything else is a
distraction to delay us from the task we are here for." Chris analyzed
his sensor data and mumbled something about ancient tombs and CyberDoom being a
mummy. "This place is cursed. Just
like in that old movie I watched last week."
CX heard Redhawk’s dual vibe blasts smashing
stone.
Focusing his thoughts through the amulet,
Starbolt communicated. "Hawk, I am
protecting our six, and as CX is occupied with the Hyroglyphics, I won't be
going ahead until he is ready to go. C.X. I'll watch your back as long as
needed."
Thunderhead read the hieroglyphs.
Ten
thousand years ago a race of men journeyed here from a faraway planet. The trip
took many generations. There was a colony here on Easter Island, but when the
travelers arrived they found that it had been destroyed by Earthly creatures.
The new people erected the great stone heads in honor of the previous colony,
and they built their own magnificent city around them. For hundreds of years
they prospered, and grew proficient in the occult arts. Their king in those
days was named Cor, and he begged the wizards to stop their dealings with the
demons from beyond. But they did not, and finally they called forth a great
demon which consumed their whole city. Then King Cor fought the demon and slew
it, saving a handful of his subjects. He himself did not survive the battle. A
secret tomb was build for him, guarded by undead spirits and cursed by the
vengeful demons.
Adamas said out loud, not
using the amulet, "I see figures up ahead, but I can't tell if they are
alive or statues...”
