Tr'Lawsh opened it and checked to see if she could read or at least identify the language.
Most of the language was the Felinids. It told a story, a myth of sorts. About how a damaged ship was rescued, and the crew cared for, nursed back to health. The beings, known as the Care Takers, cared for them for many years, before disappearing. Another race, a fellow rescued race, rose to power and took over the care of the felinids. This new race corrupted the their roles, and rather than being care takers, they became rulers. The myth continued to predict that one day that the true Care Takers would return to free their kind. There was a temple where the Felinids gathered. There was a test to prove the identity of the original Care Takers. The last page contained the first part of the test. Something to be translated. It was in a different language all together. Something completely new to the Caitain and the Fleeter.
According to the records, the book belonged to Traknor.
Tr'Lawsh read outloud until the end, when she stopped. "I can't rrread thisss lassst bit. I've neverrr ssseen thisss language beforrre."

"Thisss isss wonderrrful! Herrre isss theirrr hissstorrry! Perrrhapsss it isss a sssacrrred tome to them. But I wonderrr who the orrriginal Carrre Takerrrsss werrre." In her mind, she couldn't see why they felt they needed caretakers, being a strong race derived of Cait. It was a slave mentality, and she hated both caretakers for instilling it in them.
