Seth set his box down on a desk inside the control room as the others started on various tasks. He nodded his agreement with Rei's not purging the ventilation with out further exploration into why it was sealed off. None the less he could feel the air begin to move ever so slightly, that in and of it self was a welcome change, until it stopped. Part of him wished he hadn't agreed to the logical course of action, it only served to remind him how stale the air was in the room. "Well, that was nice while it lasted."

He wasn't going to be much good a decoding ancient space computers, so he set to work trying to figure out the lock on his box. There were buttons with strange symbols, the readout kept flashing things he didn't understand, so at this point all he could do was push a button and see if something happened. Eventually he found one that seemed to change the characters on screen, so he hit it again, again the characters changed, it was changing languages. "Alright, this could be useful." It took a while but eventually he found one that made words he could read. He still didn't know what they meant, stats and numbers that he had no context for, but at least he was making progress.

Now that he could read the information screen he set about trying to figure out what was in the box. Part of him figured he was going through a lot of work to open something that was surely worthless, but he would keep trying to get the thing open at this point for the sake of doing it.
