"No." Kai stated, creating a new image of a wall drawing. "Actually they were the very first inhabitants of this planet. There technology far exceeded what even we have now. Their knowledge was lost a millennium ago with their disappearance. All that was left behind was a scatterings of ancient texts and artifacts that we weren't even able to decipher until a hundred years ago." the image changed to an ancient looking diagram. "There were even hints at an ability to create cybernetic life capable of blending in and reproduction." he paused to leave an chance for Priya to step in if she wanted to, since it was kind of her area of expertise.

Priya nodded, turning to look at her boss at the pause he placed for her to speak. "They created cyborgs, my kind in order to act as either temporary vessels until we reproduced a child and they could reincarnate into that child. Or, we could become a permanent vessel for them. More often than not, we failed at holding them long enough for them to survive. Which is why there are only five of us left that still hold an Ancient. I, however, do not." She wondered if she would need to explain further, watching Dr. Rosen with a calm expression.
Jessica blinked and sat back in her chair, her expression becoming more on the impassive side as she watched and listened. She had heard a story similar to this. "Much like Atlantian's of legend, correct?" She then turned her attention to her assistant, her hands relaxing in her lap as she crossed her legs. "A robot with the ability to give birth.... I'm really glad we didn't say anything on Earth, otherwise this would have hit the fan." That was all she said on the matter, though she knew that Priya would understand it as a cover up for how her mind was whirling around like a child.

(( All thats really going on is that Arya believes that the Planet Eater might have some sort of telepathic interference that causes the planet to go into chaos before it comes to "prep" persay. So, she's working on that with her siblings while Malachai is off looking for more cyborgs like Priya. Kai is just explaining everything to Jessica with Priya helping.. Then he's going to fill everyone ELSE in on whats going on at the Lunar High Council meeting thing.
As for everything important pretaining to this. It's in the first post on the first page. I always update it when there is something important going on. Or needs to be noted.
Edit: Oh, and Kai is explaining everything somewhere else from everyone. Natasya is around with Sherad and Zera. ))

Kai sighed. "About that... The reasons for the Ancient's decline here, was a disease caused by their bodies interactions with a newly appeared substance. It was also while they created the cyborgs and began moving to Earth. When the Ancient's traveled to Earth to try and survived their influence of Earth was outside the scope of the Mother Goddess' 'mind wipe'. So the legend of Atlantis, was actually the first few decades of the Ancients existence on Earth... before something terrible happened to them and they began to disappear even more drastically.

Jessica blinked, well that was unexpected. "Disease?" She glanced to Priya, but she was less than helpful with her calm expression, turning her eyes back to Kai. "So Atlantis actually existed..." That was one thing that was running through her head, and then that. "Priya?"
Priya kept her eyes lowered, her hands brushing her white hair back. "There is one more cyborg besides me on Earth. The rest are here on Telli Delon. The reason there aren't more is because some did reproduce. Because they were rushed to finish us, some weren't as complete and so died after giving birth. Others broke down. Then the successful ones, I have no idea why there aren't more. Or why such a thing happened to the Ancients." She added, glancing up to Kai again.

Kai scratched his head. "We're not sure exactly. The only thing we've found are ancient texts referring to a disease they called KrveprolitÃ. They described it as a horribly slow death. It apparently destroyed the body by burning them from the inside out, essentially the equivalent of cooking them alive." he kept the image blank for that one, even the thought alone sent shivers down his spine. What a horrible way to go. "Nobody knows why but only the Ancients were affected with the only exception being the case mentioning someone they dubbed 'Ochránce'.'

Jessica glanced between the two respectively when they spoke, tilting her head at the foreign word. She couldn't hide the grimace that spread on her face at the description of that disease, shaking her head a little. That was certainly one of the worst ways she had heard of dying. And diseases. She just hoped it wasn't present on Earth. Though it was entirely possible that a variation was present. At the exception, she raised an eyebrow, only one survived? "And what does 'Ochránce' mean?" Jessica saw that Priya was letting Kai talk, wondering if she knew what those words meant and wasn't saying or if she didn't. The point didn't really matter now though.

Kai scratched his head again. "We're still working on that part..." he stated appoligetically. "It has been only recently that we have been to begin to translate the ancient texts, due to some ancient tablets we recently found in the Engill Snjór Mountains." Kai patted the pockets of his robe. "I thought I had a data pad with the symbols from the tablet on them..." he muttered searching his robes. "I must have left them in the lab this morning..."

(( Just wondering, what languages are you using? I think the first one is Czech. xP ))
Jessica just nodded understandingly, they had some cases like that on Earth still. "It's alright. You've been rather tired lately." She winked, he couldn't hide that fact from her. She remembered how he had appeared earlier.
Priya opened her eyes again, she did know some of those words. "The name of the disease loosely translates to massacring. Then the name Ochránce translates to, in essence, protector. So, this remaining Ancient is the "protector." I'm sorry, my processors haven't heard that language for a long time." She murmured, bowing her head in apology before straightening. "Kai, if you should like my help translating the texts another time, I'd be happy to help." She added, flashing him a small smile before her expression grew impassively calm again.

((The first on is Czech. TEN POINTS! xd The second one is Icelandic!))
He sighed, "Not even a cat nap!" he joked, he enjoyed joking with Jessica. Kai's face brightened at Priya's mention of help. "Wow, that would be awesome!" he clapped and rubbed his hands together before pausing. "Wait... there was something else I was suppose to tell you..."

(( Yay! I was right! xDDD On both accounts. ))
Jessica smirked and nodded to him at his jest, chuckling a little while she listened to the two of them. Priya always had been extrodinary at translations. She blinked at the mention of something else, tilting her head. "There's more?" She muttered, she couldn't help it, it seemed like so much already.
Priya couldn't help but smile at him, nodding once more to confirm that she would. She wasn't even sure what he wanted, or needed, to tell them. After all, there were many thoughts running through her head about the future. Too much probably.

Kai closed his eyes as he tried to remember. "Damn... It was... Something about..." he snapped his fingers. "I remember now. I was instructed that once you were allowed to know everything to escort you through the labs encase you wanted a closer look at what we've learned so far." he stated, smiling.

Jessica blinked a bit, cocking her head again. "Oh, sure. I'd be happy to. Is there anything else?" She asked, wanting to be sure that that was it. She realized that Brother Mathias would have a fit, sighing as she glanced over to him. "Wait, what about the Marines? They aren't going to be happy if I leave." She grimaced, she didn't really want them throwing a fit when things were going so well in relation to how they were around the others.
Priya watched the head researcher, seeming to consider the options before she straightened a bit more in her chair. "I can go in your stead if that is alright with everyone. Or if thats still applicable. I could try to talk to them for you." She offered, glancing from Jessica to Kai.

Kai glanced between Jessica and Priya. "It's whatever you two decided... But I might suggest telling the marines everything, after I leave." he added, rocking back and forth on his feet. "I don't think they're going to be very warm to any on-worlder's when it hits the fan." he stated, a bit of his hyperness starting to come back now that the bulk of everything was over with.
