Mission- Discover artifacts from year 2006


Two archaeologists are digging in the Frozen North, they have been at it for 2 long years. Workers have slowly, and mysteriously vanish. Leaving the two with only a handful of workers, and themselves.

“Have you found anything yet?” Dr. Snooky whined. Dr. Cooky shook her head, “Not yet, soon. I have a feeling there is something right beneath us, I just know it!” A labourer glared at them but kept digging, more forcefully as the anger built up inside of him. –CRACK-. The metal digger hit something hard, instantly all the workers hit the ground as the archaeologists jumped in surprise. “What was that?!” Dr. Snooky squeaked out. Dr. Cooky ran over to the source of the noise and found the worked knocked out, a fair size hole showing in the hard packed mud near his head.
“Dr. Snooky, come here quick! I think we’ve found something!” Dr. Cooky cried out. Instantly all the workers swarmed over to area. Dr. Snooky pushed his way through the mob and jumped into the hole with Dr. Cooky. He knelt down and looked into the hole, “Why, I believe we have. Someone give me a latangerine!” Immediately the strange tool was passed down, Dr. Snooky put it into the hole and pushed down hard.
The opening spilt open widely, revealing lots of dust and darkness. “Rope!” Dr. Cooky yelled, a bit of rope was thrown down and she tied it around her waist tightly, giving the other end of the rope to Snooky, Cooky grabbed a light and smiled, “Here we go…” and jumped into the cavity, she gasped loudly as she tugged on the rope, “Snooky, you must come down at once! I believe we found a primitive room of a 2006 person!”
Dr. Snooky quickly gave the rope to a helper and followed Dr. Cooky down into the room quickly. He set up lights around and looked at Cooky, then flipped them on. They gasped in horror and amazement, Dr. Cooky leaned against the wall as she looked around, “Oh my… its not just any room… it’s a teenaged girl’s room! My, what a mess, think of all the things we can find though!”
The archaeologists spent the next few weeks, recording and observing all the things in the room. From articles of the most revolting clothing to the most uncultured of books. They were like little children as they dug through everything, chattering and smiling at their discovery. Soon their excitement turned to mystery and horror as they reached the dressers, opening the drawers they screamed and ran out of the hole.
“HORROR! HORROR! RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS PLACE!” they screamed as they ran from the room, never to be seen again. The workers exchanged curious looks then one ventured down. He let out a shriek of utter terror and died at the sight of what lay inside the drawers. All the other works screamed as well and ran off, no one was ever seen from that site, again.
No one knew what horror lay in the drawers until one day, a lone traveller came upon the site. Sliding into the hole he peered into the drawer and laughed happily, gathering up all of it he put it in his sack and climbed out again, he went back to the capital and handed the artifacts over to the leader. A great reward was given to him, and soon, once again… the game boy advanced was reborn.

For thou hast made the happy earth thy hell,
Fill'd it with cursing cries and deep exclaims." (Richard III 1.2) Shakespeare
