to be extremely

simple to decipher.

- Ray Charles

could have done it.

- Well, not quite that simple

but with today's high speed

computers, translations

of unknown codes and

languages are much easier.

There's no need for

a rosetta stone.

- You both

are quite humble.

- He is, I'm not.

- True.

But they were created,

intentionally designed,

so that any reasonably

intelligent culture

could read them.

- And learn.

- Which is the

translation in your report?

- Yes, but that's only

the surface meaning.

- I don't understand.

- Well, we've determined

that there are hints

to the real attitude

and dialect of the,

the story teller beyond that

of the literal translation.

And miss Turner--

- scout.

- Thank ya.

- Has created, composed a

draft in which I believe

is the true character of

the ancient historian.

She has revealed the

emotional content.

- Really?

You can do that?

- I can.

That's what I do.

- Then

please do so, scout.

- This world has been ours

for countless millennia,

ruled under the

benevolent bloodline of,

a name I can't translate, but

now approached destruction.

He refused to allow the cosmos

to erase all that he has

so wonderfully created.

He is our lord god, my lover,

and through his mighty strength

wished to forge a new world,

a continuing destiny

for his people.

He tasked me to complete his

vision and I have failed,

unable to return

to where he waited.

For those who may rise again

along this river of time,

I have inscribed his

name for eternity

to remember, our lord god.

- A love letter.

- In a way, I suppose.

- It is.

From across the river of time.

- Surprisingly romantic.

- And enigmatic.

- Yes, very.

What else do you know

about this ancient culture?

- Zip.

But with your--

- that's all.

- And the craft

buried below the etchings?

- Nothing.

Richard wouldn't allow us.

- You have all the information.

And we believe it is

a fantastic mystery.

- One that I, we,

want to, can solve.

- I understand

your desire but--

- but?

- But your

assignment has now

been fulfilled brilliantly

and completely.

You have our thanks and

the considerable fee

that will soon be

deposited in your accounts.

- Now it's time

for others to continue.

- I totally disagree.

We're the ones who

did all this research

and we can continue

this project.

- Again, thank you.

- Hey, come on.

- Easy there.

- Mr. kontral?

- It would now be

appropriate for you to--

- Jesus, scout.

- Still here, Eli.

With everything we've learned,

it makes perfect sense

for us to continue, to

see this project through.

- Your service is greatly

appreciated, miss Turner.

But it is now over.
