“Why the need for such elaborate defenses?” you ask, looking around at the now-calming symbols. “What could be so important to protect out here?”

SethSquatch's expression grows serious. He reaches into a hidden compartment within the tower and retrieves what appears to be a crystalline object. As he holds it, it emits a soft blue light that matches the pulse of Emma's EMF readings.

“Beneath Kolob Reservoir,” he explains, “lies an ancient chamber containing technology that could either benefit or destroy your world. The N'hava understood how to tap into the Earth's magnetic field – the Life Stream – in ways that could heal the planet or tear it apart. They built these defenses not just against hostile forces, but against humanity's tendency to reach for power before developing the wisdom to use it.”

He holds up the crystal, and for a moment, you see a reflection of something impossible – a vast underground lake filled with structures that seem to defy physics.
