Sebastian was determined to decode the alien language, this language was truly baffling. Sebastian wasn’t one to subscribe to conspiracy theories, but it seemed like the higher ups wanted to open the alien technology as quickly as possible and were ignoring safety. He knew that the more information they had, the safer things would be.
There could be many reasons why a civilization would use sleeper ships; the most obvious one would be a lack of, or no, warp capabilities, but the ship could be a colony ship. Wherever this ship originated, the people there may have launched a ship loaded with supplies to build a colony on a distant world, but due to the lack of warp technology, the people would die before reaching the new world. In long-term suspended animation, they would arrive with the tools they needed to build a colony. However, if these people were criminals, they could pose a danger to the ship.
Sebastian checked the computer, and it was about forty-five percent complete with the translation. Still, Sebastian couldn’t help but wonder what secrets these aliens might possess, how long these aliens had been adrift, what they had witnessed, what galactic events they may have partaken in, what ancient secrets they had known?
Sebastian was a bit startled when Ra’an said, "Cortez, you can keep working on the language. I'll be sure to relay your thoughts to the Commander. Petty Officer sh'Sjöress can assist you. I'll have her report early for her shift, and you can give her orders. Put her to work, she's good with languages."
“Aye,” said Sebastian, and went back to watching the computer working away.
