The Vulcan Gambit

Summary

Receive intelligence from another site and use the clues in the Vulcan Ruins to unlock secrets long lost to time.

Narrative

A Starfleet team have discovered tablets at another ruins site that they are unable to be understood by our Universal translators and they have sent them to you via SSTV. Fortunately the Vulcan ruins you are at right now contain samples of text with symbols that should help you translate the characters on the tablets.

Briefing
