Archaeological site
Homeworld Excavation
Fouilles de notre monde natal
Description
Since awakening to our predicament, the absence of identity and purpose has plagued our species. We grossly underestimated the impact it would have on our ability to move forward, let alone cooperate. We struggle to reach an accord, and we hunger for answers.
This excavation site was established to seek evidence on the debated questions of our species' creation, and to find a foundational vantage point to help unite us.

Stage 1 · difficulty 3
Lost History
Console: event clones.11
Description
A central dig site has managed to successfully date the installation of one of our Ancient Clone Vats by analyzing the soil beneath the structure - comparing its density and composition to that of its surroundings - and we have reached a reasonable estimate of when it was placed there.
It appears the first of our kind, the first clones, were produced approximately twelve centuries ago.
Many generations of history have been lost to apathy. Much has passed us by, and perhaps that is something to regret.
No reward described.
Stage 2 · difficulty 6
Ancient Relatives
Console: event clones.12
Description
One of the excavation sites has reported the discovery of old, …-like fossils. Very old fossils. They were found in and around remnants of what is presumed to be primitive homesteads. Apparently, both the fossils and architecture predate the construction of our Ancient Clone Vats by more than a millennium.
Initial DNA sequencing has confirmed significant similarities between our genetic make-up and that of the fossilized matter, and it has been concluded that the remains belong to our ancient predecessors, from before we were clones.
This puts things into perspective.
