IF we think the Qiverse did not have what were kbown as ‘treasure hunters’ ?
We, would be wrong. Sadi was born of a family with a rich and RICH might be very appropriate here...for they were thanks to the accumulation over the decades of a vast emporium of treasures.

Draxetnium was key but taking treasures and seeing them bought by others for more drax? ! The coffers were fairly well stocked.

Sadi was not into the ever growing horde. Her love was always into exploration,
Easily financed and paid for not by rich sponsors but from their own coffers.

Beholden to any re her ventures was not a good place to be.
It often compromised any morality. An exxample might be a sacred object to a clan or  tribe which would fetch a  good price at market.

Thief in the night, steal it and run for the hills.. ? NO!

Her travels had taken her into some areas within the Oifre quadrant of the Qiverse.
Some small moons that housed ancient reliquary. Ones that none laid claim to and were deemed to be the spoils of her endeavours.

Legitimately one might say; rightly so. BUT the SYMBIOTICS had taken over
one of those planets. IT was not the same as before they arrived to take over.

Ruthless extinction of any who did not accept their new Gods.
Powerless before the all powerful new (Xu) King new (Wui) Queen and the
being used by them as their enforcers.

The presence, on their newly conquered world, was not treated with
other than a search to find her. TO be implanted.. the knowledge she
 possessed was too valuable to let slip through their fingers.

Knowledge ah yea she had a vastness of one might say epic proportions.
Worlds that could leave others in total awe. Others terrified and not just
FEAR from what they were seeing, hearing but how.

BIZARRE, HOW BRUTAL, HOW SAVAGE but also the former structures built by the Ancients.
Ones who, were all knowing all seeing and YET? NOT the true GODS of CREATION.

Technological brilliance beyond so many other  PRIMITIVE races. Finding their  tech was not without its own perils. Hidden deep within mountain structures. Sometimes the place surrounded by ice capped mountains, Main structures could be the Thoth Pyramids.. or the Aztec or Cocai stepped pyramids.

Underground caverns that were virtual labyrinths running for such vast distances it was sometimes
a deadly mistake to think you could enter and NOT get lost within such an expanse,.
Even with sophisticated sensory equipment for tracking course navigation and similar ?

The traps. Unforseen and unknown TRAPS that those who had left those deep caverns behind them after what a fore warned extinction event! Why present day there are many who still are too resigned to their own illusions or is it  DELUSIONS? !

They could not have known of such events occurring ahead of when they happened.
Warning signs? Strange tablets that revealed long lost writing proving that they
indeed had some forewarning of the unfolding nightmare.

Ah yes the scenario so often played out.. the ‘end of days’.
The traps were not for FUTURE inquisitors, those discovering such wonders..

NO! Necessary at the TIME, to stop those trying to encroach on their domains
their underground safe secure strongholds. Imagine today having a bunker for
IF the worst happens ah here we go again the ‘End of days’ scenario.

Under siege.. attack from those who want to take over.. murder if they have to
those who hold the keys to the stronghold?

Nuclear bunkers? Government underground secure installations that were built
in the event the inevitable ‘End of days’ happened?  Places in the mountains the
rebel forces had taken over proving to be almost undetectable.

Many of them rediscovered after the Earthquake with fault line eruptions beit
volcanic and or seismic now thrust into view places, structures and so much
more hitherto hidden!

Mountain peaks that had never existed now formed as the land rose up even
from the oceans, Water levels had been relieved thanks to new processes
the Orians had given as a token of their respect for the inhabitants?

The primitives. Ah yes.. they loved the ‘Primitives’ but we know don’t we WHY!
Food the planet over populated as they called it, in secret of course. an obscenity of which they were only too pleased to take advantage of. New processing plants disguised to start with as nutrient facilities for the primitives.

Food, resources were until they arrived a known problem. All of the ever growing never seeming to diminish
population. Now the workers pleased to be finding work that also saw them enjoying
the bounties of their labors?

Hmm well, until they were growing, growing and to such levels it, was
creating an ever expanding workforce.. One might alarmingly so.. but!
They were still getting fed.. still getting FAT..

Suddenly the numbers diminishing by the thousands The processing processes
had changed. The local rivers poisoned by toxic waste from the SLURRY the
Orians had ended up with from the mashing, the pulping of Human(a) flesh AND
of course BONES.

For the Warlords this processing of Human(a) would if they took over, continue.
There were riches to be made from such an exploitation, Also some of their
own were carnivores.

The only ones the Warlords dreaded ever coming into a confrontation with ?
Not the A  terra. They had already taken over a large number of those beings.
Infested, infected, to be enslaved or..

To take up roles in being the enforcers, the ones who did the enslaving; no.
the ones who terrified them were now on an Ancients otherworld.
Staring at the astonishing sight before them.

Long forgotten technologies with all of the instruction manuals, the means to
take it and enhance their own capabilities?
Capabilities their scieste the ones who could take on, adapt, USE it for
their purposes?

Did they have names.. ah the ‘ Sanctified’? Most of them were souls within a
skin.. a shell ah yes. we know don’t we what a SHELL is.
