As they went deeper into the facility there were numerous pieces of evidence that something must have happened here. Unlike the room they were in before there were a series of corpses laying upon the ground that looked to have crumbled onto the walls and floor.
TalOS kneeled to one of these bodies and studied it closely. His eyes were able to piece through the numerous pieces of rot and soon he had the corpse opened for greater examination. There was a sickening crunch as he opened the ribs to look at the last of the internal organs that were within the body. All of it rotten and dried, which was what brought forward ideas.
+This woman died of an aerosol that caused immense dryness. She suffocated to death with her body being preserved because of the suffocation.+ TalOS pointed out to UZ1 as he looked up towards her, +What was the chemical composition of the air when this facility was opened?+
+The air contained high amounts of CO2 and that was about it. We are currently suspecting system failure that caused the air within the facility to become faulty.+
TalOS gave a slow nod to those words, +These people did not know they were going to die that day then. Such failures are rare but if a Machine Spirit is either unkept or the Machine God decides such a fate. Maybe this entire find was divined by the Machine God himself.+
+He might have. There is so much information about the time before the federation here.+ UZ1 pointed in a particular direction, +We need to go that way, there is something I want to show you.+
+You are the guide then.+ TalOS rose from his crouch and quickly followed behind UZ1.
Around them TalOS could see everything the Mechanicum had already done. Numerous entrances were either blasted open or hacked with a series of servo-skulls hanging off the control panels. They did not dare do more than simple hacks, for this was still a place of the Ancients as well as one of their governments. If they turned everything on there will likely be numerous pieces of protection hardware that will fight the Mechanicum for each piece of it.
Thus was the reason all lights were on for their expedition’s operation. Wires were strung out and cut so that whatever powered in that direction was prevented from activation. This was all done with great pain, but were necessary pains.
