Paradise Violated
You can tell Dobbs is getting skittish about messing around with the machine, so you decide to take over.
"Um sir, I really don't think you should start pressing buttons "
"Quiet private, I'm taking the risks here well what's this?"
Your ingenious process of pressing buttons until something happens has activated a hologram of some sort. The hologram image is that of a humanoid. You've never seen what race it's based on though.
"Xgeehti! Sathayi egawah tylageti!" the hologram says. You don't know what that means, but it looks agitated though.
"Sir, we should get out of here, this hologram might be activating self defense systems!"
"Lagxet Language process identified .Who are you people? I don't recognize your species, are you yet another genetically designed slave for the Xont? They must be losing their touch, because you look pretty unimpressive. Though that blue female looks like she shows promise. And why have I been off line for so long? Wasn't the outbreak under control?"
"Outbreak?" you ask.
"Yes! The outbreak! I told them that they should take special precautions with the new germ weapon they were working on, but do they listen? No! They're the galaxy rulers, they think they're invincible, they know better than some hologram. Hey what happened to this place?" the hologram scans the dead bodies in the room and the carcass in the doorway and starts to realize that things have changed. "Erm, are the Xont still in charge of this facility?"
"No, this is an ancient ruin for all intense and purposes. The Xont have long since disappeared. And up until now, they were considered a legend of some sort." You reply.
"Oh I assure you they were very real. Though I can honestly say, they were hardly worthy of legend status. Hmm, I guess now I know why I was off line for so long then." The hologram states seemingly unworried about how much time has passed. "What race are you?" the hologram asks.
"I'm human."
"What a dreadful name."
"SIR, we need to get out of here NOW!" Dobbs says and grabs you.
"Private Dobbs, you will calm down this instant!" Alyssa shouts back at him.
He looks very distressed; he's convinced that staying here will result in something very bad.
