Dan'lia watched the city as the shuttle exited. The explosion rumbled and Dan'lia realized she was hugging the carrysack with the book inside, as if to protect them. She gently set the sack in the floor in front of her. She had never thought herself as one who let her imagination run away with her. But all during the time in the ancient city she felt like hundreds of people looking over her shoulder, whispering, "I was here. This is my story. We may not be your blood, but we are your ancestors."
But her only part was to find and rescue the books, It would be to others to translate and gleam the knowledge from them.
She leaned back in the seat, drifting off to sleep. Her bed waited for her, as well as a shower and a large glass of yeho -- (a citrus or fruit juice.)

Just as the shuttle neared the exit of the cave the rumble of the explosives was heard. She checked the console which was linked to operations. Checking the scans, she discovered that the explosive had the desired effect.
"Leih, scans reveal only the area targeted was effected by the explosion. There was a mild shock effect felt thought out the city cave, but nothing was destroyed. Scans indicate the worse damage to the city proper, was a few small structures closest to the city gates."
The Leih acknowledged her and instructed her to return to the ship with out delay. As they ascended, they encountered an electrical storm. The shuttle rocked twice as they past the worse of the storm.
Once they broke the atmosphere and entered space using the communications link she apprised the NY of where they were. She received clearance and began to move into position.
"Leih, we will be in the docking bay in 90 seconds."
The powered down to full thrusters, as the door to the shuttle open opened, she entered. Then softly brought the shuttle to a full stop while the docking lines grabbed and held onto the shuttle.
"Leih, we are now home."
