[The sphere flickers on, showing Ryuuko sitting in the library. She's not smoking this time, but has a couple of books laid open on the table.]
As can be gathered from the recent announcement, a "Commander Orion" has left a package of some sort in the enviro-dome in a location probably having something to do with his name.
[She frowns slightly.]
It can only relate to "Orion" somehow, since I assume "Commander" is purely a title. [Nod towards the Doctor, of course.] However, Orion is a hunter in Greek mythos; Ancient Egypt, if I recall, predates that by several centuries. The only two connections readily apparent to me are the constellation Orion - as the Egyptians were keen on astronomy, something about Osiris - and one version of Orion's death - a sting from a scorpion.
Any speculation about where the package could be, what instructions it may contain, who commander Orion is, and any other related topic is welcome.
[Sounds like she's trying to start a public forum.]
