Although not a guide, she had been part of the group that had found the intact skeleton thing out on the trail, so it was only natural for her to lend her aide to Dr. Belloq. She was certain that she could keep him and herself relatively safe from harm. So after a quick check with the security team, she was now out in the field with the Archaeologist looking around. Earlier, her eyes had solely been on the look out for the then unidentified creepers. This time however, she was keeping an eye out for anything that might be of use to Dr. Belloq.

As luck would have it, her keen Elven eyesight was quick to notice something not too far away from where the skeleton had been found. his something had a metallic gleam to it, as it poked up through the leaf mould, almost but not quite hidden under a fallen tree. After a bit of digging and brushing off of dirt, she found herself looking at a strange circular device that seemed to be pointing towards a blue sky with a sun on it.

"Dr. Belloq, I think I have found something. I am not certain what it is." Eagerly she hefted it up to show him, hoping he might have a better idea of the device than her.

Belloq was gazing at the ground, poking at clumps of grass now and then with his walking stick. If there were a settlement here once, or a burial site, he would see it in the contours of the dirt, in subtle patterns of lumps and depressions too regular and symmetrical for nature.

So far, there was nothing.

He perked up when Tauriel called; the phrase "I have found something" always made his heart beat a little faster. He strode over to look at her find.

"A mechanism of some sort. Something new, something we've never unearthed on this planet before." He examined it, wondering if the golden disk was pure gold or just gold plate. "The blue and gold surface turns within the casing."
