Sometime after the [[United Nations Space Command]] discovered Erebus VII, [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] sent various teams of scientists to the surface and established at least five research bases to study the planet, its wildlife, and anything else that could be found. The researchers came across a nest of very young juvenile ''Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa'' while exploring the caves in the planet's tablelands. In order to study the intriguing new species, the juveniles were taken and brought back to their research bases where "horrible experiments" were performed on them.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL32}} Some were placed into vats and suspended in an orange fluid. | Sometime after the [[United Nations Space Command]] discovered Erebus VII, [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] sent various teams of scientists to the surface and established at least five research bases to study the planet, its wildlife, and anything else that could be found.

The ''Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa'' used their abilities to mimic sound and light in order to lure the [[human]]s away. When the researchers began to catch on, the creatures changed tactics. They began destroying all of their satellite uplinks, [[COM|comm]] stations, and even their power cores. Eventually the researchers were forced to abandon their bases, but they did devise a way to deter the ''Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa''—ultrasonic frequencies above 180,000 Hz.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL32}} | The ''Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa'' used their abilities to mimic sound and light in order to lure the [[human]]s away.
