The Jericho Expedition

[Linkus]

A small diary rests on the dark oak table. Covered in a rich leather, the book has a warm scent to it and a smooth feeling. Flicking through it, there appears to be a whirlwind of words, drawings and scrawls. Turning to the first page you are greeted by a single, lightly coloured word...

Day 2133

Myself and the crew have stumbled across something that may be of great interest to many.
The planet Jericho, in the Coronado system, holds a secret wrapped up in a mystery. We intend to solve that mystery and find out the secret.

There has apparantly long been rumours of wreckage of some sort on the planet. Only more recently has anyone obtained visible proof of the claim. Seemingly a crash site with some wreckage on one of the planet's poles.

When the Lotus Heart heard of this, we were immediately interested. We attempted to get the most thorough evidence of the wreckage but could only manage a single image taken from near-orbit. The fierce radiation fields surrounding the planet wrecked havoc on our sensors and we had to leave soon after arriving as the radiation was rising quickly enough to pose a risk to the crew.

What we did obtain was this:




The darkened areas appear to be crashsites, containing debris or wreckage of some sort.

What we ask is this:
What is this wreckage?
How old is it?

It is claimed to be ancient but how people would know this from far off visual scans and no material evidence we do not know.

We have contacted the ICMG in the hope that they may be able to assist in at least landing on the surface to obtain better scans or material evidence of the wreckage. We also hope to see if there is any technology or knowledge to be gleaned from the wreckage.

We shall soon know if our curiosity will be fulfilled soon, or if we will need to contact other sources for assistance.

Jao.
