Concerning the alien ruins discovered in Zone 67, we continue to find evidence of an advanced culture with a superlative grasp of mathematics and [[astrogation]], with some possible artistic representations that suggest a space-faring race (see attached digital images of [[Onyx (Material)|onyx]] carvings).

Their numerous hieroglyphics, while at first glance comparable to ancient terrestrial Aztec variants, are, in fact, nothing at all like these primitive [[Earth]] counterparts. Several layers of symbology suggest a higher-dimensional approach to their language, if it can even be truly thought of as writing or language in any human sense.

Translation continues to elude all experts, human and [[Artificial intelligence|AI]].

Recommendation: Increased funding and excavation will undoubtedly yield hitherto unknown technologies.

Additional Note: No further information has been discovered regarding the glowing sphere discovered by [[Beta Company]] trainees. The subsequent detonation of the sphere obliterated all clues of its origin.
