By chance, I, uh, happened to notice a loose brick.

You may have the honor of opening it, Duncan.

[Man-At-Arms] Why, it's a book.

A book that has been lost for centuries.

Uh, this is Professor Smallen speaking.

Uh, Teela, can you hear me?

I believe we have uncovered

the Book of Ancient Eternia.

[Teela] That's wonderful.

It is written in the ancient language.

We must translate it.

Can you interface the Lango Computer,
