   Backstory:
   In 2554, ONI scientists discovered a highly unstable element near the remnants of Halo. The element was originally thought to be a Forerunner creation and ONI's Special Projects Division was tasked with collecting and studying the phenomenon.
   
   The Forerunner origin theory was quickly disbanded when the element began to show signs of self-awareness and the Flood seemed to be a more logical source.
   
   The new theory gained traction as several scientists involved in the program began showing increased signs of agitation and aggression.
   
   The actual origin of the element is still unknown, but technologies derived from the research were used in the development of several major UNSC projects, including the UNSC Infinity, the Spartan IV program, and later Spartan initiatives.
   
   As more of the element was collected, it began to take a spherical form, but its shape cycles through a predictable series of algorithmic patterns. Every time the shift occurs, the element decays slightly, resulting in a highly lethal, liquid byproduct.
   
   A massive facility needed to be constructed to contain the element. The element's instability required a gravity-insulated "vault" to segregate it from the outside world.
   
   Research on the element continued until a UN Congressional Inquiry was launched into ONI's Special Projects Division... Of the original 52-scientist team appointed to the project, 13 had been killed and another 7 had left the project for "undisclosed reasons."
   
   The program had been classified and outside of the team members, only a select few individuals even knew of the programs existence. It was the unexplained deaths and high budget costs that ultimately brought attention to the program.
