Mission: Secrets of the Ancients/Walkthrough


 * Science officer:

You will need to accept in order to access the Underground Ruins instance. Once the mission is complete, enter the final room and signal D'Tan.


 * D'Tan:

Cutscene
D'Tan and A'dria (both wearing EV suits) join the player in the power plant room.


 * D'Tan:

A'dria examines one of the large power relays.


 * A'dria:


 * D'Tan:


 * A'dria:

She is interrupted by a loud whirring sound. Something is powering up.

The group looks toward the center of the room, where two spires are rising out of the ground (or trying to; they appear to be jammed). After a few seconds they stop moving, halfway out of the ground. Though they have not reached their full height, it's not hard to guess what the structure is.


 * A'dria:


 * D'Tan:

The two Dewan states standing near the gateway suddenly power up. They start emitting bright blue light, and a holographic recording begins.


 * Three humanoid figures stand by the entrance to the gateway. Two are short, diminutive beings ... probably Dewans. The third is a tall, powerful looking creature with what appear to be spikes protruding from its head. The Dewans fall to their knees, apparently worshiping the creature. Unfortunately, the player's universal translator cannot decipher their language.


 * Suddenly, the ground shakes. The three figures are thrown to the ground; the two Dewans disappear while the tall being gets to its feet. It runs to one of the gateway's spires and appears to study it, waving its fists in frustration.


 * After a moment (and another explosion or two) it runs through the gateway's portal and disappears.


 * A'dria:

The remaining holograms vanish and the room's lighting returns to normal. A'dria, clearly stunned, poses her question again.


 * A'dria:

The Dewan statues light up again.


 * A'dria:

She is correct. The room goes blue again, and more holograms appear in the room.


 * The gateway is once again fully deployed. The room now boasts a large arsenal of machinery, as well as a number of Dewan engineers working on the gateway and the four power relays in the room.


 * A'dria:


 * D'Tan:


 * ''An explosion shakes the room. Several Dewans go flying; they quickly get up and run back to their stations. They appear to be quite agitated.


 * A'dria:


 * More explosions. The Dewans frantically work on their controls, but are unsuccessful. A blinding light fills the room as something big is destroyed.

When it fades, the holograms are gone and the lighting is back to normal. There is a moment of stunned silence.


 * D'Tan:

A'dria goes to the gateway and examines it with her tricorder.


 * A'dria:


 * D'Tan:


 * A'Dria:


 * D'Tan:

He turns to the player, who has been awful quiet so far.


 * D'Tan:
