( Evie is looking far more at home. She is, carefully, turning the pages of a large tome. Beside her, there is a lit candle. While some might find the flickering light bothersome, Evie is used to it. Within the various pyramids and tombs of Egypt, she depended on torches for light. Going back to electricity - even if it's available (she hasn't checked) - doesn't seem necessary.

After looking over one page, she marks her place with a strip of leather and looks up. )

I am making progress with the native's language. I stumbled across a poem that seemed to outline their alphabet yesterday. ( The alphabet is the bare bones of any language. She won't be able to do much with it, but it's a start. ) I don't mind sharing the information with anyone who might be interested.

( She shifts and picks up a spare piece of paper, tucking it into her bag. )

Aside from that, I think it's time I started exploring other sectors. Perhaps on foot would be best?

I have heard the same, but I see no reason for that to stop us. There was a time when ancient Egyptian was thought to be too difficult to decipher as well.

Maybe what we need is some sort of Rosetta Stone here, too.

Unfortunately I doubt even having something like the Rosetta Stone would do us any good. It's not like it would outline a language that is familiar to us. ( Though it would be fascinating all the same. )
