OOC: sorry I haven't been on for the past two days or so. I hope this post comes off as interesting as its meant to.

IC: with the doorway now open, Xerex reaches up to the side of his head and activates an obscure control. His eyes flash briefly, then return to normal. Now, he shared his eyesight with the monitoring equipment back at the underground base, where he was being observed and now instructed by Dagorekh and Sarumanekh. Slowly the Necron lord observed the room:

It was about ten meters long and five meters wide, with fur pillars lining the sides of the room in parrelel formation. The floor was made up of tiles, each of which was smooth stone. Xerex slowly took a step forward, "WAIT!" Screeched the voice over his headset, "this is not so simple as it appears. Scan for energy signatures." The sensory in Xerex's head flare into life, and he picks up a variety of different signatures from around the room. "As I said, the floor has enough volts running through it to disintegrate you on contact. There is a puzzle here, yes, mathematics. The pillars form an energy web of harmless lasers."

"It appears to be some kind of quadratic, yes, it fits the formula for the discriminant. The answer is 6, so there are two solutions to this problem. They are easily calculated, bu the question is, which to use. Ah yes of course, it is like the coordinates on a liner plain, the second tile to your left and forward three is safe." Xerex reluctantly steps forwards onto the tile. And nothing happens. "Now, there are more equations here, presumably the other safe points, this will take a few moments to work out the safe places to stand."

Dagorekh goes through several more calculations and Xerex follows his orders and at the end reaches the door safely. The door has a wide range of necron glyphs inscribed on it. "Ah, an atomic puzzle now, it is nessecary to manipulate the glyphs upon the door to align them correctly so as to cause the equivilant of a nuclear explosion. Don't worry, it won't happen in the real world, it will however open the door." The next part of the puzzle solving process cannot be described due to a lack of knowledge about atomic physics that we all posses. Suffice it to say that after about ten minutes there is a bright flash and the door slides open.

OOC: BTW, I would like to state that the maths talked about earlier is all real, and if I got it wrong my maths teacher will want to flay me. My next few posts will be about solving the various puzzles in the temple. There will also be a series of traps in each temple that must be biased in order to retrieve the artefact required.
