K1 was a late Golden Age project undertaken in the Ocean of Storms on Luna under the direction of Aeronautics of China and the Clovis Bray corporation, which many of the project's staff were driven to madness by an artifact sent from the Pyramids and eventually perished by the Hive during the Collapse, with the remains of the project's outposts becoming occupied by the Hive and Fallen as Lost Sectors.[1]

Overview

The K1 project was described as a nonprofit venture between the Aeronautics of China and the Clovis Bray Exoscience Agglomerated to uncover extra-spatial transmissions related to the Traveler, which involve extradimensional signals that propagate through Calabi-Yau manifold sixspace in terms of metaphysics. One of the main objectives of the project involved studying an anomalous artifact discovered beneath the surface of the Moon, despite the risks that plagued the crew at the time.

The K1 mission was later modified by Clovis Bray to quarantine the artifact in a sophisticated containment system after reports surfaced of it having adverse psychological effects on the K1 crew. Despite their attempts to mitigate the problems,

The nature of the project was kept to the upmost secrecy, as only the boards of the Aeronautics of China and Clovis Bray having in-depth knowledge regarding the deep-space signals received by the artifact. The mission was also secretly monitored by an AI provided by Clovis Bray called Firewall, which in actually answered to the Warmind Rasputin by surveying the signals received from the Darkness and the effects it had on the crew.

History

The K1 project began as a secret mission between the Aeronautics of China and Clovis Bray to uncover a mysterious extra-spatial transmission related to the Traveler, which was traced to beneath the surface of Luna at Mare Cognitum. Kuang Xuan was assigned as Project Commander of K1 at the time.[2] [3]

EM triangulation led the mining excavation at Dig Site 3, where miners dug nearly twelve hundred meters deep into the Moon's crust before they broke into a tunnel lined with flood basalt and rich in potassium, phosphorous, and other rare earth elements. There they uncovered the artifact held up upon a geological pillar formation that the borer broke. Debriefing to Xuan, the miners reported that the borer and their mining equipment shut down the moment it got near the artifact.[4] [5]

Dr. Tanis Lee described the artifact as a transceiver attuned to what she believed to be the Traveler's home. Xuan also surmised that the article had also arrived to the Sol System long before the Traveler came, despite her reservations about the mission's secrecy and wanting to question the Great Machine personally. However, because of its paracausal nature, the Commander advised precaution as the artifact is kept shielded and research on a tight schedule with daily rotations between sites.[5] [6] [7]

Personnel

Locations

The K1 Base is divided into several different excavation sites that operates as separate outposts across the First Light Lunar Installation, located at Mare Cognitum on the Moon.
