Archaeology for Fun and Profit! [Tues, 1st Period]
Aphra’s class were in the Danger Shop again, though last week's Massassi temple was nowhere to be seen. Instead they stood in the foyer of what had clearly once been a sleek, high-tech office-block that now looked considerably worse for wear.
Aphra held up her thumb and forefinger about a centimetre apart. “So, kids, I may have cheated a little last week with all the traps,” she said. “While you're probably going to run across all kinds of traps and security measures when exploring ruins, especially the important ones, most of the time they’re not going to be in super great condition. Well, unless things were really built to last, or someone's doing maintenance, in which case the traps are the least of your problems. Trust me on that.” Angry locals were not something they wanted to deal with.
“Basically, they're called ruins for a reason, and there's a lot of ways they become ruins, time, war, natural disasters, vacuum suckers deciding they're entitled to mess with a less advanced culture’s achievements for fun, but the big one’s the first, time. Things break down, batteries run down, no one replaces the poison darts, you get the picture. But if you think that makes them safe, you probably deserve whatever horrible accident happens next.” Aphra was great at reassurances. “Anyway, last week we went up, so today it’s down.”
