Sealed Bunker
Console: event origin.1240
Description
After a long, arduous period of digging deep into the crust of … the excavation team reached another underground structure.
Despite readings indicating that the building is hollow, no entry point can be found. It appears to be hermetically sealed, and the protective walls are made of some unknown material with extreme structural integrity. Conventional digging equipment doesn't even scratch it!

Stage 2 · difficulty 1
Bunker Debunked
Console: event origin.1245

After months of hard work, using a powerful beam which combines intense fusion heat with high-frequency vibration, the excavation team has finally managed to crack the underground structure.
As soon as the vault was cracked, the disembodied voice-recording spoke again. It declared that our determination had been proven, that another trial had been completed, and that we were to be rewarded accordingly.
And so we were. The bunker contained all sort of valuables, not least of which: hitherto unknown technologies which can be investigated further.
