Your news, today.
SCIENTISTS at Research Site 19 on Terminus Island in the south announced today that they had concluded primary investigations into the origin and composition of the Exordium Island Object.
Speaking outside the facility this afternoon, Dr Sylvie Honneur -- Chief Researcher at Site 19 -- said, "The Exordium Island Object is an Unseen Masterite Armed Re-Entry Vehicle."
"The AREV was a common sight on battlefields before the Great Holocaust. Launched from a military space station, they carried weapons, medical supplies and ammunition to troops all over the lands of the Unseen Master. Occasionally, they were packed with explosives for fast, lethal strikes."
"An AREV would clear its way with a barrage of missiles and Gatling-gun fire and land gently with rocket thrusters. It would then fire off its sides with compressed air, and thus dispense the equipment."
"This particular specimen seems to have malfunctioned and was severely charred in its descent through the atmosphere. We believe it has orbited for the past fifteen years, escaping destruction, before being knocked out of its orbit by a piece of space junk. It then plummeted to earth landing completely by chance in our waters."
Dr Honneur also said that there was "no cause for alarm" at a relic of the Great Holocaust crashing near Ferveo. However, the facility had been "reluctant" to attempt to open the pod, for fear of "activating some trap or explosive device."
"However," she added, "the lab has been given the go-ahead to attempt to open it with long-range cutting lasers underground, to minimise any possible damage."
"We have also noticed the personal coat of arms of the Unseen Master himself on the pod, something not seen in the other relics around Fervean museums."
Dr Honneur finished her statement with the assurance that the lab is now very interested on what is inside, and that news should come within the next few days.
It remains to be seen how the government of Jagera, which caused unease on Thursday by moving a small but heavily-armed fleet into Fervean waters, will take these developments.
