I'm Afraid It's Terminal
You encounter a hexagonal computer terminal, about six feet tall, just sitting in the middle of a barren expanse of alien dirt. This must be one of those Procrastinator ruins the nerds back at the facility are always talking about. They were this ancient civilization whose technology was apparently so well-made that it mostly still works even though they've all been dead for billions of years.
| Use the machine |
Without sufficient fluency in the Procrastinator language
You press some buttons at random, but you can't make any sense of the words that appear on the screen, if they are indeed even words.
With sufficient fluency in Procrastinator language
You start hitting buttons, and you can understand just enough of the Procrastinator language to navigate the menus.
You learn that the terminal contains a little hidey-hole, and you hit the correct menu item to open it up.
 | You acquire an item: Procrastinator locker key |
As you touch the key, the terminal emits a harsh beep, followed by a quick flash of light. You find that you've forgotten everything you ever knew of the Procrastinators' language.
Well, crap. Must've been some kind of security system.
