Captain’s log :: Stardate 34912.7
The away team’s exploration of the structure has yielded more mysteries than answers, leaving us no closer to understanding what the purpose of this place might once have been.

Commander Worf believes it to be some form of imperial directive, though Counselor Troi suspects it may refer to a ritual or festival of celebration. All attempts to decode it have proven unsuccessful, and it is likely we will have to resign ourselves to having uncovered one more unanswerable mystery in a galaxy in which they are hardly in short supply.
