One of the main objectives of the project involved studying an [[Anomaly (artifact)|anomalous artifact]] discovered beneath the surface of the Moon, despite the [[Nightmares|risks]] that plagued the crew at the time. | ||
The K1 mission was later modified by Clovis Bray to quarantine the artifact in a sophisticated [[The Anomaly|containment system]] after reports surfaced of it having adverse psychological effects on the K1 crew. Despite their attempts to mitigate the problem, the majority of the crew went insane listening to the broadcasts from the [[Darkness]]; having succumbed to its philosophical messages of existential struggle. | The K1 mission was later modified by Clovis Bray to quarantine the artifact in a sophisticated [[The Anomaly|containment system]] after reports surfaced of it having adverse psychological effects on the K1 crew.

The main | The main K1 Research Base was built to house the artifact in the MASM Cladding and Containment System, an advanced dodecahedron-shaped cage built by Clovis Bray to shield the artifact's transmissions from the inside while kept simultaneously monitored by Firewall, an AI submind delegated to the Warmind Rasputin. Recently, the base was converted into a [[Crucible]] map by [[Shaxx]] and his [[Redjacks]] for the purpose of training and sparring [[Guardian]]s. | ||
The K1 mission complex is also divided into several different subterranean dig sites that operated as separate facilities across [[Mare Cognitum]] on the [[Moon]]; most which are now occupied by enemies like the Hive and Fallen as [[Lost Sector]]s. | The K1 mission complex is also divided into several different subterranean dig sites that operated as separate facilities across [[Mare Cognitum]] on the [[Moon]]; most which are now occupied by enemies like the Hive and Fallen as [[Lost Sector]]s. | ||
