MISBEGOTTEN — artwork by Alex Oko
Excavation work in the southern sector exposed a mechanism concealed within the wall. Its surface was crossed by concentric channels resembling a labyrinth, enclosed within the shape of a triangle. After the three movable segments were aligned, a section of the wall withdrew, opening a passage to a level absent from every known plan of the site.
No human body was found inside the lower chamber. On the wall opposite the entrance, however, I discovered a large representation of a contracted form, depicted from the side. The structure of its head corresponds to the proportions documented in SUBJECT-03 and in the formations recovered afterward. This is the first record in which the facial plane appears connected to a body.
The depicted anatomy cannot be assigned to a stable configuration. The limbs appear folded beneath the mass of the body, while several volumes of fat overlap in areas where the joints should not allow such movement. It could not be determined whether the image depicts the entity’s complete form, an intermediate stage, or only one of the configurations it may assume.
It remains unclear whether these words form a creed, describe three distinct stages, or unveil something lying beyond the passage.
Beside it appears an uncatalogued symbol: a triangle within which a labyrinthine path is inscribed. The path continues toward the apex of the triangle. The same symbol was found incomplete on fragments recovered from the upper level.
The age of the chamber has not yet been established, though the erosion of the inscription significantly predates the construction of Nadir Platform. The notes left by the missing team repeatedly mention the discovery of “the lower path.”
There must be a connection between what lies within the underground chambers of this site and the incident above.
Either way, I believe I am getting close to the first real answer. As always, a full report will follow.
