The trooper team slowly proceeded forwards through the shortened corridor. They went to the end of the corridor and into the room. They went like if they were in a line, with the way they walked, multiple guns could be pointed frontwards, in fact, three. They were alert for any kind of hostile activities.

Terket After a carful analysis, they came to teh conclusion that they could get to the platform with the correct climbing equipment... It would take time nonetheless, but it would be possible.

Fort_Master_Gustav
As the troopers moved towards the room the metallic door opened slowly and...
The room was completely different from teh rest of the building...
Yellow warm light fell on a huge amount of small and interesting looking metal junk that resembled toys, some of them were colored others were too old to be touched, as they´d probably fall apart...
All of this metallic junk sat very organised on metallic shelves which were covering the walls of the whole room...
Then they saw a little someone, half of her body was inside one of the small shelves looking for something, then a sound of excitement came from within teh shelf and she moved swiftly out of the shelf, with a tiny bread in her small mouth, then she turned towards the troopers and the tiny bread fell on the floor, she sat down looking a bit terrified...
Not moving, as if she is thinking that if she doesn't move they won't see her.

Terket damnit I didn't even realize that XD

Two from the team of troopers detached from the group, and simply started looking at the metallic shelves, searching for an item of interest among the many.
The three other troopers approached the being. Two had a large clip-fed shotgun-like weapon, and aimed at the being. The third, however, didn't. Simply dropping its large assault rifle on the ground, and taking one of the cannisters off of his hip. The cannister itself was just a cillinder with a large pink tape around it, a hand-held trigger and a pin on the base of the trigger.
It crouched itself down to the level of the little girl, and slowly offered the cannister to the girl.

The Alatyi team sent one back, since they didn't expect to be carrying climbing equipment, they'd carried only a few items, multi-use for defense and exploration of many types. Not anything to get around vertically, though in retrospect, that would've been useful. Each piece of equipment almost blent in with the creatures when inactive.

Stormi_chan

Fort_Master_Gustav the little girl took the small canister, shook it a bit, then looked at the trooper, the fear in her eyes disappeared and happiness shined in her big eyes. She turns around takes something small from a little bag she had behind her and fastly put a small sticker on the trooper head. She smiled at him and giggles, while still holding the canister.
In the shelfs were small little junk like stuff nothing to Intresting...but then something catches the eyes of one of the troopers, it wasn't made out of metal but out of fabric... The fabric was Intresting as the matirial it was made out of looked like gold and... Diamonds. The thing was a small doll, big head and huge amount of tenticles the comes out of its squid like face, 8 eyes that are all made of jems... This was a very Intresting item indeed.

Terket they start to climb the huge pyramid, when they got to the platform, they saw the living room that was destroyed... All the gold that covered the ferneture was melted, and everything was destroyed... But there was a small datatablet that was active and powered... It was strange that a small thing like that could survived a blast that made this much damage... Another thing they saw was a dead body of human like creature... He died resently... He could be part of the other group thats already inside...but what killed him?

The troopers, recognizing that the girl is no threat at the moment, desengage contact with the subject. The one that dropped its assault rifle picks it back up and the three join the other two into looking around the place.
The item was interesting, but the ingravations in carbonic constructs were nothing but low value to that team. They kept it in mind but continued the search around the items without touching them.
If such a search were to yield no results, they'd return to the girl, and the trooper with the sticker would shrug whilst looking at the girl, waiting for her to indicate something towards the group. The others, of course, kept aiming at the girl.

One of the creatures picked up the strange data pad and began to read it. Their theory is that the same rogue that blasted the room stole the datapad, and returned it. Seems nowhere near likely, however. The others looked around.

Somewhere from inside the room, a highly pitched voice could be heard, but not clearly. It seems deep and high at the same time, varying, seeming coming from everywhere and nowhere in the room. It is quiet at first, but begins to become louder and louder.

Stormi_chan
The group went back to their ship and sent out Donald with the climbing gear to follow the aliens. It took few minutes for him to get used to the gear, but at last he went towards the pyramid and repeated the process of climbing now deceased Alfonso did, but more slowly and quietly

Stormi_chan

Fort_Master_Gustav After not finding anything interesting they noticed the girl stood up, and she had a walking stick with her, the stick itself was bigger than her and had a very intresting crystal on it.... The molecular structure of the object was unknown... But after a quick analysis it became clear that the crystal was a strong powersource...
The crystal itself was just about the size of the girls small hand but had a power output of a fusion reactor...
She smiled at the troopers and came closer to the one with the sticker, the sticker itself was of a golden color. The girl pointed her finger at him and said "Goldy!", then she proceeded with putting small stickers on the other troopers as well, in the colors red, green, blue and white, calling each trooper by the color of his sticker. Her voice was filled with joy.
While giving them stickers she happily walked between them and whilst she did that, the strange crown like hat she had on her head was moving from side to side.
After giving everyone a sticker she walked to the exit of the room and touched the door with the walking stick and mumbled something...
Then she looked at them and said "Come! Let's play", as she giggled...

Terket

As one of them tried to activate the info tablet the doors shut down and the room became dark. Then a hologram appeared in the room, it looked like a recording.
Three holographic figures appeared, a small girl holding a doll like object in her hand, she was behind her mother (another holographic projection) and what seems to be a male standing near them.
Man: (shouting) "She has the horns! The prophecy is true! We must kill her before it's to late!"
Mother: (holding her small child) "She is my daughter! I will never let you touch her!"

The hologram deactivated and the door opened up, light entered the room again and the tablet be came a piece of metal junk.
Romando07
After he saw the creatures entering the room, one of them touched a datapad, the creatures disappeared and moments after they appeared again but now without the data tablet.

He noticed what Alfonsi did with the watch, an old thing they used to do in academy... he waited for creatures to react, stayed cloaked and stalked the creatures, following them

The creature questioned what it just saw, and wondered if the other(s) did see it. Something more was to this than some hunt for value. The main question now was, when?

Something felt off to the creature. Besides what just came up.

The troopers, of course, took the stickers off of their heads and they all placed it on one of the plates composing the front of the Helmet. The reason being that, if the stickers were actually something bad, they could remove the plate altogether, and thus, save themselves from potential unnecessary asset losses.
Apart from that, the troopers advanced with the girl, Goldy lead the triangular formation that the other troopers also followed with their guns on the ready.

the place had an exit, a metal door that was destroyed, but they could fit through it.

Fort_Master_Gustav
they girl opened the door, and exit the room, after they followed her they saw a huge open space. they were in some sort of a platform. in front of the platform were huge 30m in diameter,the rings were inside of each other and they rotated inside of each other and in the middle of it was a huge metalic ball that resembled the planet they were on, then they noticed that this whole thing was flouting in mid air with nothing to support it. the platform was hovering as well...on the platform there was a small console , the girl ran towards it, her running was entertaining. when she stoped near the cousole she touched the onsole with her crystal and the console lighted up and activated, when this happend the little spaces between the metal floors lighted up with a cyne color, lighting up the platform.

As they left the room they saw a huge corridor, golden pillars were holding up the huge roof above them. On one side of the corridor there was a dead end, with what looks like another data tablet. On the other side was a staircase, leading downwards.

Romando07
He saw the creatures leaving the room, afew moments later, after they had left already, the Data tablet appeared on the counter again, seemingly out of nothingness.

Fort_Master_Gustav
When Goldy looked at the console he saw the following:

When he was done looking at the console, he noticed weak lights appearing on the floor the troopers were standing on. Each light had the color of one of their stickers...and the crystal on the girls walking stick began to glow in a cyan color....what does it all mean?

After a couple of hours, the metal door opened again and Zura came back, she went to her closet not saying a word, after another few moments she came back with her black leather clothes.
She stood near her suit of armor and in seconds she was wrapped in her armor, her skintone changed to gray, and her horns became black.
"I'm gonna hunt for more of your people....if I'm lucky enough you will have a friend with you soon... maybe."
She smiled and came closer to the cage. Her hair slowly became purple black as she kneeled near the cage so she would have eye contact with the bannerlord.
"We wouldn´t want you to go mad, now would we?"
She smiled and her sword flew right into the holster on her back. She grew from 2 metres to 2.7... somehow her eyes became even more psychotic than before and her smile transformed from warm...
...to barren from any emotions.

The Alatyi took another look around, and couldn't find what was bothering them. They proceeded to what was left of the metal door.

Stormi_chan
The troopers moved together in unison, first to inspect the console as it appears to be quite interesting. Perhaps an energy intake for the facility they find themselves in? Nevertheless, after that, they move around the platform in general to see what are the possibilities of progressing. If there is nothing interesting, they will refer back again to the girl to guide them.

he looked around for where could the pad materialise from, and then took it in his hands to see what it was all about, while pressing a button on his watch that started to audio and visualy recocord what was going on.

Goldy looked at the other troopers, and some kind of communication happened between them all, a conversation that due to the lack of understanding of their forms of communication, I will not write as of yet.
Nevertheless, the troopers moved towards the girl with their guns down, and one-by-one they took their sticker off and put it on the crystal on the walking stick of the girl, then retreated a bit. Meanwhile, goldy watched the effects of such action.

-I'll go mad? Servant of the Holy Empress cannot be broken so easily!

Bannerlord contemptuously twisted its beak, but at the same time for some reason did not look directly into the eyes of Zura.

-My mind is as strong as my will and my loyalty to the Protocol. During the last Unification War, I commanded the Phisean Cinderbearers squad- and with my troopers I didn’t leave a trace from the whole city. I personally evaporated dozens of heretics, carried the Empress’s banner during the Assault of the Karikk, participated in the suppression of two rebellions ...

The officer’s speech was interrupted when Zura began to change her appearance. Bannerlord hesitated, watching the transformation of the sorceress with disgust and, suddenly, interest.

-I hope that in the very near future the noble paladin or knight will blow your head off and add a reminder of this victory to his coat of arms, abomination.

Strange.
The creatures once they noticed the datapad, went to it. One picked it up and anticipated a continuation of what they saw.

Romando07 As he tried to activate the info tablet the doors shut down and the room became dark. Then a hologram appeared in the room, it looked like a recording.
Three holographic figures appeared, a small girl holding a doll like object in her hand, she was behind her mother (another holographic projection) and what seems to be a male standing near them.
Man: (shouting) "She has the horns! The prophecy is true! We must kill her before it's to late!"
Mother: (holding her small child) "She is my daughter! I will never let you touch her!"

Terket everything became black again, then a holographic projection appeared of the same man from before laying on the floor, he looked at the creatures and said "monster... You are a monst..." he got interappted by a young female voice "You killed her, your fate will be as hers" a holographic female figure walked through the creatures.
The man shouts for help.
The young female had a Katana like sword. And with a fast swing his head was on the floor. Then some noices came from behind and the recording stopped on this frame kof her looking back.

A couple moments later the holographic projection disappeared, and everything went to normal.

Fort_Master_Gustav nothing happened, after acouple of moments 3 hexagons appeared on the floor of the far left of the platform... The girl was confused when they put thier stickers, then she put them back on thier plates and pointed at the hexagons.

TastyCoffee
"Yes! Yes! That's why I kept you alive! You worth so much to us... You past, you actions, are worth so much..." she raises "you think city's is something I should be impressed by?" she giggles "I slaved civilizations, planets.... Im a mithos in galaxy, your Noble man will do absolutely nothing... And yes, I will take everything from them... Thier very expensive art. I will make thier ships into trash" she kneels again "and most importantly... I will take thier pride" she raises and went to the door, she puts her hand on the door. And it opens up..but now it led into a hanger... "See you in a couple of days... Don't miss me" she walked through the door and it closes.

In a more comedical setting, a facepalm would occur and a laughing track would play on the background, after all, a prime example of overcomplicating a simple problem was just displayed. The troopers gathered the stickers again, and went to the hexagons, defeatedly of course.
