The pod had been floating in the vacuum of space for untold millennia, the power signature it gave off so faint that only a ship passing close by would register it. Inside, what looked like a human woman lay sleeping as she had for thousands of years, the pod’s systems keeping her in a state of perfect hibernation.
Aside from its age the pod also contained a number of unknown minerals in its construction which impeded any scan of its contents, the exterior smooth and featureless save for a series of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs arranged in a cartouche around a glowing red gemstone. Run through a translation program the inscription read simply.
‘The sarcophagus of the Goddess Astarte, let all know her eternal power and be healed.’
