Reborn Spirit.

Warner sighed as T.A.L.O.S. continued to sift through the data, here and there he could see partially translated text, but much of it was still garbled by the alien's complex language. But it was at least progressing, slowly but surely.

Ben was also sifting through the data, looking at what seemed to be star-charts included in the artifact's data matrix, but everything was marked in the Alien Language, he had to identify what he could from memory, Omicron Alpha was the easiest to identify, Malta's symbol was glowing softly, signifying a place of importance to the aliens obviously...Why it was important was however still heavily encrypted and would take weeks if not months to decipher. Shifting to the next map on his screen he was hard-pressed to identify it, but after very careful examination he deduced it to be an older map of Omicron Minor, the current home of the Order.

There was a wealth of information hidden in these files, but it was nearly impossible to make anything out due to the language barrier that stumps Humanity, leaving the translating up to minds much smarter than their own, Artificial Intelligences like T.A.L.O.S. were perfect for the job, T.A.L.O.S. was based on technologies from it's predecessor BAAL as well as technologies taken from samples of the now missing 'Phantoms'. Ben, while trusting his A.I. to do the job was always leery about the loyalties of the highly intelligent computer system, every passing moment allowed it to evolve beyond it's capabilities as it was always learning, always adapting. It was one of their best technologies to date, but beneath he felt lurked a danger they had not anticipated...Still he felt safer knowing that it had three 'Kill-Switches', one in the Commandante's office, one in the T.A.L.O.S. facility itself and one in His Watchful Eye's office....
