Hao Xuan walked around the hall and scrutinized every single thing he found.
Towards the left side was a small chamber. It was out of the way and covered only about twenty square meters in size. There was a half-open 'pod' placed horizontally on one side. Its material looked organic and it even had a small layer of what seemed like 'skin' around it.
Besides the pod was a small table with a metal board on top. The board was about two feet in length and half a foot in width. There were metal engravings on both sides of it, in a language Hao Xuan didn't understand.
With the board in hand, he walked back out and went towards the spiky chair where Ensis was standing.
"Any idea what all this is?" he asked as he ran his finger across the glass desk.
Ensis shook his head.
"How about this then? Can you read this?" he threw the metal board over to him.
