Third Brother MATA CEO: "The site was buried long before the end. Around the time our ancestors acquired the company. We found it by accident, looking for lithium. Whatever happened there was never meant to be found."
MATA CEO and MATA_BOT stand over a dig site. Many bots and penguins are excavating a MilTek facility.

We made an entry and sent in bird scouts. Soon it became clear that MilTek abandoned the facility in a hurry.
I think it was used for research into psychological warfare. It helps me sleep to believe that whatever happened was just a result of experimental psy-tech. Hallucinations. Nothing more.

Inside we recovered an ancient sarcophagus. The birds began worshiping it. Our bots would eventually join them. What happened next I cannot truly describe. It affected both flesh and machine. Turning all who came into close proximity of it into bio-cybernetic mass.

I fear my brothers would not understand what I have seen.
"Burn it!"
We have destroyed the facility and buried the sarcophagus with a beacon set to activate in a few hundred years. My world is not ready for this... technology. Perhaps MATA of the future will be.
Signed: TB, CEO OF MATA
Puffy finishes reading the attached letter with the box in which the sarcophagus is placed.
Cirno: "Mint idiot. It's not technology. It's Mesopotamian black machine magic."
