“Fascinating, your HNI and that port are compatible.”

It took Rivera two minutes to realize Eicelea had spoken to her. She was lost in thought at the newly accessed chamber that was beyond, access granted by the AI Goddess Sarpanit when she interfaced to the ancient door’s control panel.

She didn’t even notice Penelope, Eicelea, and Vynei stand next to her, as they all pondered what their next move would be. And where the UNE signals were coming from.

Rivera shook off the shocked and spaced-out look and gave her delayed response. “That’s because the technology behind it is similar.”

“How is that possible?” Eicelea asked.

Rivera replied as the group moved forward, even Sarpanit’s holographic appearance followed, though it wasn’t necessary, she was in Rivera’s HNI. “Humanity mostly reverse engineered technology acquired from Radiance, the Hashmedai, Lyonria, and Sirius ruins, adding it to our own.”

“The technology found in Sirius turned out to be lost Draconian technology, right?” Penelope asked.

Rivera nodded yes. “And what Marduk had used. I guess the tech in HNI and the tech inside that panel, at one point, were one and the same.”

The newly accessed chamber the group stepped into was dark, only flashlights revealed its contents. It was built by a high-tech civilization, but not the Lyonria based on Rivera’s previous venture into their structures. The layout of the chamber’s floors and walls around her looked exactly like how Foster and Tolukei described the layout to Marduk’s ship back in Sirius. It was a fusion of Draconian technology from the age of Tiamat and his own designs if she were to understand it correctly.

At the center of the chamber were cylinder-shaped objects lying horizontally on the floor with way too many tubes and wires connected to them. There were sixteen in total, all aligned against the walls, and a bulky computer idling in the middle of it all.

Eicelea and Rivera ran EAD scans of everything, watching in awe as the small holo screens filled with data about the chemical composition of the equipment, and its estimated age. Everything in the chamber was well over five to six thousand years old, predating the existence of the Radiance Union, and the Aryile’s first contact with their Gods.

Rivera flipped to the next holo screen her EAD made. Her lips rolled into an O shape when she read the data. “Lot of psionic activity from these sixteen cylinders.”

Eicelea tapped one of the cylinders, and it opened up from the top to bottom. She took a closer look at the inside of it. “They look like psionic creation tubes,” Eicelea said.

“Say what?” Rivera said to Eicelea.

“She’s a sleep-in, boss,” Vynei said. “Human psionics didn’t exist when she left Earth.”

“Those with psionic potential enter tubes like these,” Eicelea said. “They spend a number of hours, sometimes days, while it brings out their powers. If you have what it takes, you leave as a psionic.”

“I was under the impression you were born as one,” Rivera said.

“That’s another way, and the only way for Hashmedai,” Eicelea said.
