[colour=#9933cc]"Oh... dear... Celestia..."[/colour] - of all the decisions she picked today, calling a guard was one of the WORST she could have obviously made. It was somewhat funny how fast he appeared, but he explained he was guarding the entrance to the nearest archaeological panel, the one she had just left, and heard somepony calling for security. What happened next? Well, he arrived at the place, noticed the chaos and all the mess and... Rising Star, standing in the middle of it, with nopony else around. Pink mare at first stared at him blankly, but after taking a look around she quickly realized the position she had found herself in. She was taken into temporary custody despite of her protests and explanations. She didn't know how much time she spent trying to put her innocence in security's heads, it might have been minutes, it could have taken half an hour. What she did know is that her questioning contained 4 facehooves, 3 sighs, 5 rhetorical questions spawned from pure disbelief and countless groans of resignation. Even the fact that she belonged to staff wasn't able to pierce their stubborn minds... After she FINALLY managed to convince them that she was just yet another, incidental pony passing through, they released her and the guard, who initially captured her, escorted her back at the panel entrance, apologizing for the inconvenience. He led her inside and once again positioned himself near the entry to the hall. Her little case caused the panel to be unguarded for a short amount of time, but did it truly matter? She didn't even see a reason for him to be guarding that spot. Was he supposed to catch 'villains'? Or perhaps he was ordered to disallow certain ponies inside? The very idea of it was ridiculous. Nevertheless, what Star was certain of is that she wasted a lot of time and her nerves were stretched thin right now. Thankfully, she found her equipment still standing by the wall, just where she had left it. The panel itself seemed to be already in progress... It wasn't surprising at all. Seeing how Doctor Merlot was presumably late to it, he was most probably anxious to get it going and catch up with the schedule. It was as if Star had forgotten his reasons for a moment after the 'interrogation'. From her position in the corner at the far end of the room she could clearly see the stand along with his silhouette. She snapped a few photos before frowning and leaning from behind her camera. After a moment of hesitation, she packed her things up and moved alongside the right wall to set up in a place from which she could photograph attendees and at once listen to the panel itself. As she reached the right side of the room, she lost her balance and tripped, nearly falling on her knees. After a brave fight to regain her stance, she stopped and covered her face with a hoof, breathing heavily.
