Data entry 6:445:56

Surface of planet ‘Bob’ five light years from a housing estate in Brunswick.

Sensors detect traces of organic matter permeating the vicinity of terrestrial landing site. Further investigation reveals to us an object of unknown origin. The following log details our observations and deductions as to the object in question.

Taking the shape of a rectangular box, the object has a hollow centre in which we have identified numerous cylindrical capsules. These seem to be containing the carefully preserved remains of some sort of deceased life form. Mummified by use of various noxious chemicals and packed tightly and painstakingly into individual chambers, these must hold some great significance to whoever prepared them. We postulate that such a grand and hardy tomb symbolizes a great reverence to the expired life-form within. After analyzing the outer layer of the sarcophagus we found it to be a material able to withstand harsh natural environments that cover this planet. Possibly elders within planet Bob’s social hierarchy these tombs are likely designed to fulfill the symbolic voyage of a demigod’s transcendence to enlightenment. The markings on the surface of the tomb may be shamanic wards designed to curse any who dare interrupt the slumber of the dead.
