Destiny

This particular rune was first discovered just over three months ago. The team here on Cambridge managed to get a rough translation on it by cross referencing writings from the Pragamar Scrolls and the Vendric collections.

Well I think it is the same symbol. They often do have various defining parts, intrinsic to the symbols meaning. So long as your drawing is accurate, we should be able to cross-reference it against our catalogue on the main net systems.

I nodded. I knew the CRI kept records of each individual rune discovered so that a complete compilation might be formed. I highly doubted the full wonders of the DomKavosh would ever be fully comprehended through their writings however their language, if it was only one language, was hopelessly complicated, with various leading professionals estimating there may be many millions of separate symbols, or maybe even more than that.

To further complicate matters, the runes would rarely convert directly to human languages, due to the fact the material being studied would often describe a feeling, action, concept completely alien to humanity. This resulted in translations being, generally speaking, highly inaccurate, with huge paragraphs being required to fully express the meaning of a single word.

Harman tenderly picked up the piece of paper as if it was holy and marched briskly out the room, beckoning for me to follow. We arrived in his study, where he fed the image into a machine, where it to appear on a now-active computer screen. He keyed in a few prompts and commands and the computer set off, sifting through all the records it had access to.

This may take a few moments the computer will map a system of points over the image, then apply those points to recorded symbols in order to accurately identify the correct one. I nodded politely, despite having spent just over a week studying the machine during my time at the university and fully understanding how the process worked.

Slowly the possibilities were whittled away, until only one remained, blinking on the screen. That was odd. Usually there would be numerous results, all similar to an almost undistinguishable level. Harman looked pleased.

Just what I thought...
