Val turns around sharply when she feels someone in pain. She turned to the team but saw that they weren't in pain. Instead, they were looking around the pyramid in awe, except for Lex. The young woman was observing the pyramid, making sure there was no danger. However, this confuses Val even more. If they were the ones in pain, then who is?
Before Val could think further, Kendall placed a hand on Val's head. Val looks at Kendall curiously as the alien girl glances at her. She was in charge of watching Val since she's more skilled in combat than anyone else.
"Stay close, there could be trouble." Kendall informs her.
Val nodded as she stayed close to Kendall and the others. Speaking of which, everyone was looking at the walls that are filled with hieroglyphics, carved out of the stone. Sebastian admired the pyramid's hieroglyphics. He shines a flashlight towards one of the pillars that has hieroglyphics and examines it.
"Thomas." Sebastian called his friend as he started to wipe off the cobwebs on the pillar.
Thomas heard him and went towards the Italian Archeologist. "What is it?" He asked, noticing Sebastian removing the webs and dust off the wall. Thomas observes the hieroglyphics carefully.
"I recognize the Egyptian."
"The second symbol is Aztec, pre-conquest era, the third is Cambodian." Sebastian continued as he looked at hieroglyphics with wonder.
Weyland was beside them as he too looked at the hieroglyphics. "Then you were right. The pyramid contains all three cultures." He agreed with Sebastian's words.
"That's what it looks like." Sebastian stated, clearly isn't sure how this ancient pyramid has these three cultures together.
Thomas reads the hieroglyphics. He can understand a few since he learned how to read them thanks to Sebastian. "You may choose to enter...Those who...choose...may enter." Thomas translated out-loud.
Sebastian glanced at Thomas almost amused. "Who taught you to translate?" He asked in a joking tone.
"Funny...kinda looked like you." Thomas joked back to him.
Lex just smiled in amusement while Kendall rolled her eyes again. These men are clearly enjoying themselves in discovering this ancient pyramid. Heck, Sebastian and Miller were trying to impress Lex. Kendall doesn't blame them, Lex is very attractive for a woman. But she wasn't interested in these men. Kendall and Val walked over to them as they looked at the hieroglyphics.
"Well, it's not 'choose', it's chosen." Sebastian corrected Thomas as he correctly read out the hieroglyphics. "Only the chosen ones may enter."
Kendall picks up Val as they move to another location that is led by Lex with the others following. They made their way to the next chamber of the pyramid. Upon reaching the chamber, they shine their flashlights on and were shocked when they discovered something. They found a large chamber with an impressive vaulted ceiling and bizarre ancient imagery chiseled into the walls. In that chamber were seven long stone slabs and on top of them were corpses of ancient people with their slightly old and rugged clothes. Lex worries that Val might get scared, but surprisingly, the little girl wasn't afraid of the corpses. Lex raises a brow at her, wondering why she wasn't afraid. But before she could think any further, Sebastian's voice broke through the silence.
