"Storms require a heat source..." Mr. Shredder muses. "This planet seems too shaded to produce this sort of weather. Perhaps volcanos or something are causing this... but that wouldn't explain the glow."

Mr. Shredder turns to Kato. "As much as I'd love to explore this place, I don't think it would be safe to get the Kraken in there. Right?"

Fyodor Saltspritz can account for that, at least, in part.

Some years ago he attended a lecture at Morgrave University from the Faculty of Chemistry. New advances were consistently opening up new possibilities, with substances like hydrogen and helium now being identified and cataloged. This color reminded him of one such substance. Initially, it was thought to be a cheap replacement for arcane paints, until it was discovered that the warmth it seemed to create was poisonous.

These storms cracked with lightning the color of Radium.

The forward observer looked from her telescope and tugged on a rope, ringing an alert bell. Contact forward. Kayto turned the ship, and began to pull alongside some strange object of alien make. It hung in space between you and the planet, motionless.

Detlas silently observes the situation from the back of the group, fully armoured and awaiting orders.

Mr. Shredder's eyes grow wide as he spots the alien object. "That thing looks neat! And valuable! Lets get it on deck!"

Hel-Shredder marches over to the rail and begins to prepare the Unseen Servant spell as a ritual to push the object on board.

Kayto nodded and pulled into range. It wasn't difficult to get the alien relic aboard. The unseen servant pushed it, and it drifted slowly over the course of several long minutes until longshoremen could grab it with hooks on poles.

It looked nothing like the Eldritch Devices of ancient Eberron. It's make and manufacture boggled imagination. Even it's materials seemed alien.

Roll int/tinker's tools DC12 to figure out there's a panel you can open.

"I wonder who put it here." Jonathan mused as he watched the floating alien object.

Fyodor would need a wrench to open it. Is anyone carrying Tinker's Tools?

((My bad. Thought you were saying roll Tinkers Tools OR Intelligence))

Fyodor does have a crowbar however. Failing a wrench he could work with that.

Edit: Fyodor calls for a passing crewman for a wrench.

She'll measure the size of the bolts with care before unscrewing them with a wrench.

Dullahan came over, shoving Fyodor aside. "Get out of the way before you break something." His tone was cold, as he crouched beside Stella to assist her with taking the paneling off, curious what would be inside this strange alien device.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Brother Jonathan moved to Fyodor to help him keep his balance "These things are as dangerous as they are valuable, brother."
