Comparison of 1996 and 1997 seismic analyses.

Event Designation: EE-551

Date of Occurrence: TBD (Discovered 06/05/1997)

Location: Kâhtaçay, Turkey.

Event Description: Reflective seismology of the Anatolian Plate revealed a large-scale geological formation that was not present during the last Foundation geological survey (1996). EE-551 is likely an unnaturally large diapir that formed as a result of the local subducting plate boundary.

Follow-up Actions Taken: A small team of Researchers from Site-97 has been sent to investigate EE-551. Temporary Site Omega-3 has been developed until the event has been confirmed non-anomalous.

Engravings found at LoI-551

Event Designation: EE-551

Date of Occurrence: TBD (Discovered 06/05/1997)

Location: Kâhtaçay, Turkey.

Event Description: Reflective seismology of the Anatolian Plate revealed a large-scale geological formation that was not present during the last Foundation geological survey (1996). Repeated rescans of the region indicate that EE-551 is rapidly changing shape and growing faster than natural geological timescales.

Follow-up Actions Taken: A small team of Researchers from Site-97 has been sent to investigate EE-551. Temporary Site Omega-3 has been developed until the event has been confirmed non-anomalous. Further investigations into LoI-551 are ongoing.

Location of Interest: 4km from EE-551 a site of stones was discovered. The proximity to EE-551 implicates some relationship, anomalous or otherwise. These engravings are Ancient Greek in origin; full translation efforts are ongoing. However, the partial translation seems to correlate to Plato's dialogue Timaeus, with the following excerpt that is not found in Calcidius' modern translation:

Timaeus: And now it is as it ever has been, from fire to all things, and all things to fire.

Socrates: This has been discussed prior, Timaeus. And what of life, if it does not trouble you, nor our other partners? If Critias and Hermocrates approve, I wish to recount the union of the classical elements into man, sculpted by the hands of the gods.

Critias: By the eagerness in the eyes of Herocrates, I see that we are all in agreement.

Timaeus: As you wish. Mere moments from the eternal fire of the cosmos to form the archai we enjoy today, there were fire and rock alone. The Earth was barren; not water nor air nor salt. As it follows, from chaos to order. From beyond the celestial spheres as we know them, Sarka fell into the primordial flames of Earth.

She, ever starving, gorged hungrily on her fledgling fire. Therefore we see her cleave to fire as a babe to its mother. The living vessel — as all do — acquired a spirit and naturally, heart, life, and psyche followed. But as a cutting from a tree, the first form of Man rebelled and stole fire from his mother. Thus it becomes obvious there is no mystery to the rise of man upon the world.

Thus Sarka is the progenitor of man, and fire is the progenitor of that. She shall feast on the primordial fire at the centre of our world until the day the Earth runs cold and her true motivation becomes clear.

Critias: How is it you have come to know all of this?

Timaeus: In the contemplation of the sensible, I came into contact with a vagrant. This man, if one could call him such, knew much of the natural world. Though brief, my contact with Elenkhos, who imparted this ancient knowledge onto me, showed me our Mother at the centre of our world.

Socrates: And what of Sarka's true motivation? Shall she abandon us, despite giving us the bodies with which we enjoy our world? Shall she abandon us, despite giving us the lives we cherish? What purpose could be so great a Mother would destroy their own flesh and blood?

Timaeus: You misunderstand, Socrates. We are her estranged children; can we assume even that she does love us? She desires only fire, and though the fires of the world are vast, our progenitor's hunger grows vaster. In fear of starvation, will not even a loving mother abandon her child when she believes there is food enough for neither?

There is a fire older and greater than this world's. For how long will the Earth's flames entice her before she abandons her progeny and seeks to darken the fires of the Sun?

Addendum EE-551.A: Transmission to Director Ayers

FOREWORD:
Transmission From: Preliminary Site Omega-3, Researcher Adams
To: Site-97, Director Ayers
Reason: Updates to EE-551


[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]

Adams: I'm not quite sure what to say but - uh -
[Silence]

Adams: We're going to need a lot more funding.

Adams: A lot more.

Adams: I'd try and explain over comms… It's probably easier if you see this for yourself.
[Silence]

Adams: You should probably bring an MTF.
