LOC: WORLD ARCHEOLOGICAL HERITAGE
The tall building seems to be unusually busier than ever. The people who work there aren't used this kind of attention
in fact this might be the few rare times where the netizens are ready to spare glance on their department
journalist flooded the entrance gawking for any sort of news that could be made to headline
Reporter
sir can we get an update about on 'Quattuor'
Chief (UAH)
we can't reveal anything yet
Reporter
Is that even possible for a body that had been buried together to have different carbon dating results
Chief (UAH)
Nothing can be sure. We have been doing our best to find what might have happened
Chief (UAH)
but it's not like we can travel to the past and know about it
Reporter
but don't you think, we can't easily claim this to be an mere a coincidence
Chief (UAH)
that's why we are here.(smile politely)
The chief walked toward the building ignoring the queries of the reporters
Chief (UAH)
The press are overwhelming. Ms Vidyut did you find anything
Ennisa Vidyut
its unbelievable sir. Seems like these four human remains are buried at the same time, but they belong to different timeline
Chief (UAH)
Ms Vidyut I didn't ask what we already know (grit his teeth)
Ennisa Vidyut
I have done taphonomic experiment on the three bodies and found that the two man bodies must belong approximately 750 CE
Ennisa Vidyut
and the women must be approximately 860 BCE
Chief (UAH)
what about the other one
Ennisa Vidyut
I haven't performed taphonomy on it
Chief (UAH)
then do it fast Ms Vidyut
Ennissa couldn't believe herself.
The rich heiress, the eye of her family, one of the best archeologists has to take order from a man who is a synonym for distress
Ennisa Vidyut
(how nice it would be if I could just take a knife and cut his tongue)
Chief (UAH)
why are just standing, do your work (bark at her)
Ennisa Vidyut
(roll eyes) yes sir
Ennisa Vidyut
(went to the fourth human remains)
Ennissa isn't the type to slack off, in fact she is a workaholic
But for some reason she couldn't bring herself to work on that particular remain
she has eerie feeling about it
it feels like that body is pulling her closer at the same time warning her to not take a single step further
it's like she has known it for whole of her life yet unrecognizable
it's like she knows something, but she couldn't form words to frame it
something in her said she should stay away from it
Ennisa Vidyut
(come on Enny we have to do the work. Just push down unnecessary thoughts)
Ennisa Vidyut
(it's all because of that raccoon head refusing to give you break)
Ennisa started to do her work ignoring her heart's warning
Ennisa Vidyut
(what the fuck)
