Story: University hides technology discovered in ancient Silanta

We have told you of this pillar it is known to be from an advanced previous civilization...

Waking up

In a hurry still trying to look and remain nonchalant I found a seat in the expeditionary council meeting. Zonh was speaking and he looked at me directly as I tried to relax into my seat. I immediately pulled out my notepad and began to listen and see what was going and if I had missed anything crucial.
If from the preliminary expedition to Alpera the staff reports are correct we have the following great concerns;
In the far western reaches there is a great volcano erupting in the Plains of Almzion. It is of extreme proportions and magnitude and is covering land at a disturbing rate with deadly ash, poisonous volcanic gases and lava. There are unconfirmed reports of a poisonous energy cloud emanating from the this area.
The scientific team of Dr. Akinr and Dr. Remak have seen from their instruments a great drain in world etheric energy. We have heard many startling reports from close sources to this area. There is some concern that a Noen of incredible power has been let loose and a vortex has been opened.
Zonh steadily addressed the assembly.
We must now move in outer directions together. Zonh said. Votars are to go with Lash and Zobrin into the briefing rooms, as the scientists will come with myself into the laboratory facilities.
I followed Lash as moved to the fourth level briefing rooms. Things were happening very quickly. I heard Norstar and Zadir arguing about something.
Stay out of my business you ugly monster, Norstar said in a fierce tone to Zadir. You are a complete fool.
Zadir went into a rage and his eyes turned to steel. He threw himself at much larger Norstar striking him in the chest and knocking Norstar into the wall.
I will smash your little head for that you putrid slime, said Norstar looking straight into his face. Battle me weakling!
You fake Norstar! Zadir screamed as he attacked him again. You are the fool. Norstar was furious as he grabbed Zadir and pounded his head into the ground. Zadir defended himself and fought hard but Norstar had the upper position and the size to control him.
Zadir reached up knocking Norstar's arm away and threw a punch at his face but it missed.
The sudden fight erupted catching us in confusion, but Zobrin came flying past Arim and knocked Norstar to the floor and against the wall. Issand and Tylar reached down picking up and holding Zadir back as he fought to get free and continue the fight.
You arrogant beast hold your anger, Zobrin yelled, I could expect so much from you, Norstar.
Holding Norstar on the floor Zobrin disciplined him unmercifully.
You always find a way to lose your temper and destroy your advantages. You will relax and be disciplined or you will be imprisoned here in your quarters, understand Votar!
Norstar did not back off though he did not respond. His violence just internalized and tightened his angular face.
You are a fool out of control, Zobrin berated and taunted Norstar. So you think you are tough, You do not know what it means. You are nothing! You cannot look into the face of pain or still your emotions. The tail wags the beast.
Norstar you have lost your inner battle against your almighty beast that will force you into death. Awaken and listen! I will discipline you! You will be listed as unreliable and placed confinement until abatement.
Zobrin was fuming still as Norstar's anger subsided.
Zadir I know you are to blame in this as well, Zobrin looked at Zadir in rage. You will learn as he will. Your self restraint was unacceptable. Your mixture in this affair leaves me with much doubt of your abilities to become a Votar. I want neither of you in my presence this day.
The danger of unyielding emotions will lead to disaster. Zobrin said. Until you are purified and set on course with the group purpose as the first consideration we cannot allow you to enter into the secrets. You will each learn of your soul's intention or be placed in confinement until the completion of our task.
Zobrin commanded both of them to be locked within their quarters for discipline under arrest. The uneasiness carried over even as Lash began speaking to us.
These things being revealed to you are not for the general knowledge. It is imperative you keep what we are saying completely secret. Lash said. It was urgent for Zonh to give the whole Hyrayarch the facts that we are sealing the doors of the University from outsiders. We forced to conduct clandestine operations near Alpera. We do not want anyone outside to know this threat is of the extreme peril.
We know there are conspiracies set upon us by the XAXA to destroy our civilization and the Ingersol is a pawn and part of the plan of destruction. The Government is ineffective and is used in a similar manner. They show concerned, but with bureaucracy's natural inner bickering and lack of organization they will never be able to find a cure of OBS or deal with the advancing threat of the XAXA. They are even unaware or refuse to admit they are a powerful enemy of all that they speak in favor of. Hypocrisy knows no limits in insanity.
In the sealed chambers of the Sixth Level of the Hyrayarch's Sanctuary Lash revealed the nature of the plague and the Shadow Government of the XAXA.
The Plague of Yethi, the fog, the OBS whatever it is called is based upon manipulating fear and this disintegrates the immune shields of the body causing obscuration.
If fear could be a living thing this would be it. This form represents the evil of our world, Lash said. Part of humanity, the primitive and self seeking part estimates the Hyrayarch to be little threat as an adversary. We appreciate this lower assessment because we see the Grey Beings of the XAXA to be very powerful over the masses. We are not powerful over mass consciousness as of yet. The masses are entranced by the the time cell descensions and the parasitical relationship is in full operation.
In the far west Islands of Aldera whole crews of fisherman have returned infected with the obscuration. Crews of lost souls drifting at sea in total disorientation.
There are whole villages in Tauzn leaving as refugees from Aldera are arriving in extreme fear of this plague. They see it coming towards their shores. They have watched their fathers, brothers and some children fade and die mindlessly. They are arriving in the port cities of Turas, Formulaut and Sadisa on Rota.
The infection as caused Alderans a ghastly fear of something they cannot stop nor comprehend. The Islands of Aldera are becoming a vacant ghost land where no sane man walks without crying for the suffering. They call this obscure fog, Yethi, which in their language means mindlessness. It is impossible to find one who is sane enough to speak rationally about it.
An Alderan ship ran a ground at the Port of Turas with a menacingly ominous message. This merchant ship ran on ground with no one on board not even the walking dead of mindless ones who have arrived. Fear is spreading. Whatever this is is contagious and people are moving from the coastal cities inland in panic.
We have sent one probe ship near Aldera but there was such a thick fog surrounding it that our pilot acted wisely and did not dare go further.
He did gather some instrument readings. We have not been able to ascertain their indications but they were very strange, the barometric pressure, and electromagnetics were completely wrong. It is a wonder that he was able to return to Rota. We believe that the threat is manifesting on an astral level that confuses dreams and reality. There is the belief that this Yethi mindlessness or OBS is part of the extension the XAXA beings desire for more energy.
It is the advancing of insanity. The world is being thrown into a dimensional chaos. This threat to our lives is beyond our physical mental beings. I caution you not to underestimate the power of this XAXA force as it is part of a world form that has been centuries in making and it will not cease until engaged and cleansed. The understanding of the need to seal your shields and hold on to your own power is required on a regular daily basis.
It is your duty to undertake the task to heal this area and to stabilize the radiations of negative energy with light pulsations.
The mission behind the Hyrayarch is to protect. This irreconcilable negative XAXA force allows us no opportunity for evasion. It is the world negativity that requires concentrated and combined effort to repolarize and diminish its event horizon. It may be likened to the astronomical vorlaut that is being created within the emotional consciousness due to the increased power of our civilization.
We are unearthing the greatest discovery of our civilization in Alpera. It is a great pillar that has been left for us to show us a marker. This marker we understand holds keys to incredible knowledge. This Pillar holds the answer to untold questions of our origin and future.
We have breached the doorway into the main vault. But it is at hand as soon as we can get a team back there. Destiny calls us to do these things and there is extreme urgency and expediency required. We must remain a unit whole and solid for everyone is very important to the success of the plan.
The purpose of the Hyrayarch and the consequence of the spiritual life is enlightenment.
With the find of the Pillar as it is written in the Old Commentary will come the Great Return. We must constantly use correct mental forms and beware of short memories and myopic vision. With the discovery that the last days are now, all the Hyrayarch must learn quickly because so little energy and time are left. Our scientists are verifying this is happening as the Sun is beginning to pulsate and contract as it shifts in polarity for the last time before the galactic implosions.
We find it necessary to avoid all contact with government and Ingersol spies and expedite the Excavation. Lash said as he began instructions on the mission itself. The main body of Votars will assist the Governments in the scientific investigations of the black cloud emergence near Aldera. A group of our scientists will also travel to Mt. Gorrh in the Plains of Almzion to view the Volcano. We will also send service vehicles to Formulaut and the upper coast of Tai province.
In an aggressive action we will send two Votcrafts immediately to Rota, there is no time to waste. Of this group Zobrin will take one Votcraft and the other by Kynax. Prepare for your mission and I will see you at pre-flight. Read your flight plans carefully and understand the secrecy of our mission. Government interference is becoming very troublesome, we need time without interference at the Pillar.
Civil war between on the island of Rota might not be far off as the Alperans and Tauzians are involved in commerce disputes. We cannot allow the politics and strife of the times to interfere with the work. Be prepared for anything.
The Hyrayarch centers upon the great work. In the Sanctuary there cannot be any outside contact anymore. Too much danger is present now. Only the Votars with specified flight plans can leave. All others are restricted to the grounds of the Sanctuary. These strict measures are mandatory.
