Silva grabbed the cloth and pulled it off, releasing a cloud of dust. They all covered their noses while swiping their hands to clear the dust. When the dust finally went down, they all looked at what was behind it.
It was a stack of boards and poorly kept books, along with what looked like an older hologram machine. Silva grabbed one of the books, looked at the front, and noticed a similar mark on the book to that of his hand.
He opened the book, but the pages crumbled immediately. He picked another and the same happened. "These books are too old," he said.
"Yeah, but the machine seems to be fine. We should try to power it," Peter said. He walked to the machine and found the cord and a socket on the wall.
"Are you sure that's safe?" Silva asked.
"No, but I'm doing it," Peter said as he plugged it in. Immediately, sparks flew; he jumped back, scared by the sparks.
"You destroyed it," Ella said.
