At an unknown date, a Coral mining operation uncovered the tip of a [[Forerunner]] installation. The miners used explosives to evaporate a depth of 30 meters, except for the tip of the installation, which wasn't even scorched. Archaeologists funded by [[ONI]] were able to dig out about eighty meters of the complex, which seems to be much bigger. The complex has been described as made from metallic crystal, symmetrical to a near-atomic scale, yet adorned with decorative artistic motifs.<ref>[[Conversations from the Universe]]</ref> | At an unknown date, a Coral mining operation uncovered the tip of a [[Forerunner]] installation.
