 ==History==
-The statue had arrived on Europa roughly twenty years before Clovis Bray's discovery buried beneath the icy surface. Attempts to move Clarity Control from its location would instead trigger a "violent reaction" to [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Braytech]] research teams, resulting in the deaths of nineteen researchers. Instead, the Clovis Bray corporation decided to build their facility surrounding the statue itself, which then became the [[Deep Stone Crypt]].
+The origins and nature of Clarity Control are unclear; analyses conducted by [[Clovis Bray I]] suggest that it arrived on Europa around 20 years before its discovery during the late Golden Age.
+===Discovery by Clovis Bray===
+In communing with the alien artifact known as the [[Anomaly|K1 Anomaly]] on the [[Moon]], Clovis Bray I received instructions to go to Europa, where he would find a power he termed "Clarity" that would grant him the secret of immortality. Clovis traveled to Europa and found what he believed to be the source of Clarity: a veiled, seemingly feminine figure apparently carved out of onyx-like stone, which Clovis named "Clarity Control." Attempts to move the figure from its location by [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Braytech]] research teams triggered a "violent reaction", resulting in the deaths of nineteen researchers; although the details of what transpired are unclear, Clovis noted that there were many more than nineteen bodies after the incident had taken place, which Clovis interpreted as Clarity attempting to convey a theme of "duplication." Unable to move Clarity Control, the Clovis Bray team on Europa instead built a facility around the entity, which would become known as the [[Deep Stone Crypt]].
-Clarity Control was used to combine Darkness (referred to as "Clarity" by Clovis I) with Vex [[Radiolaria]] to create [[Alkahest]], a primary ingredient in the creation of the [[Exo]]. Clarity Control, in Clovis I's words, is the source of Clarity.
+During subsequent studies of Clarity Control, one member of a research group heard a voice coming from the entity, apparently speaking in the voice of the researcher's mother. Upon approaching the figure, the researcher and all other members present were killed by Clarity Control through unknown means. While one of Clovis' employees recommended quarantining the area, Clovis instead had new personnel sent in to see if they could hear the figure and understand what it was saying.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/test-no-140-clarity-control-exposure?highlight=clarity+control</ref>
+Similarly to his experience with the K1 Anomaly, Clovis I heard whispers coming from Clarity Control, which he interpreted as instructions to build a Vex gate. Using a captive Vex stolen from the Ishtar Collective, Clovis constructed a gate which led to [[2082 Volantis]], a blue hypergiant system that had been completely dominated by the Vex. Some time later, Clovis found that exposing [[Vex]] [[radiolaria]] to the [[Darkness|paracausal force]] emanating from the figure resulted in a substance which could solve the "loop/billboard/crash" problem that plagued his prototype [[Exos|exominds]]. This substance, which Clovis termed "[[Alkahest]]", became an essential component in the production of Exos.
