Museum

[archeologue]

[Belloq sits in a basement office in the museum, pouring over old survey maps, locations that have not yet been excavated but were deemed probable areas of indigenous habitation. After that display of the skeleton spawner’s power, there were many parties interested in acquiring one. The Orion Syndicate would pay him well if he could deliver one intact, operational (and safely powered down). Dictators and imperialists all over the galaxy desired an artifact that, if placed among their enemies and activated, could wipe out swathes of opposition without wasting their own troops.

He just needs to find another one, like the one that had wreaked havoc on the village, and he would be rich beyond the dreams of Croesus.]

Ruins

[archeologue]

[Belloq crouches in the dirt, carefully brushing away sand with a soft bristled tool. Each swipe reveals more and more of the treasure buried within. Just an ordinary clay vase, but its age made it priceless.

He wonders if he should smuggle it away before it's documented, or if he should wait to see if something better turns up. For discretion's sake, only a few things can be illicitly removed from any given dig site.]

Pugsy's

[archeologue]

[With the quarantine in place, Earth wine is increasingly hard to come by and expensive to purchase. So instead he sits with a bottle of Klingon blood wine, the price still higher than it had been, but demand for it is low enough that crates of the stuff are still easy enough to find. He has yet to take his first sip and stares at the glass dubiously. It looks far thicker than any wine of his knowledge ought to be.]
