  • From what is learned about the Monolith, the artifact is 'older than [humanity] can imagine' and is divided into several fragments. These include Luna-1, the central core piece, as well as several rings with unknown symbols on them. It's not known how the artifact came to be in several pieces.

abstract
  • From what is learned about the Monolith, the artifact is 'older than [humanity] can imagine' and is divided into several fragments. These include Luna-1, the central core piece, as well as several rings with unknown symbols on them. It's not known how the artifact came to be in several pieces. The United States, Germany and the Soviet Union learned of the Monolith fragments and their connection to psychic powers - with the first piece been found in the Himalayas in an ancient temple. Germany had managed to find and stockpile a large number of the Monolith pieces - for which the two World Wars were fought for ownership of the fragments because of their link to psychic abilities. During World War II, America and Russia were successful in recovering the fragments that Germany had gathered. During the Cold War that followed, both America and Russia built their own Psi-programs around the Monolith fragments - which focused on the study and development of Psi abilities. In America, their Psi-program later became known as 'Mindgate'. As the Cold War continued, both the United States and Soviet Union detected the presence of another piece of the Monolith on the Moon. Both sides raced to get to it first, with the United States managing to beat the Soviets and claim the fragment - which later became known as Luna-1 and was discovered to be the central piece of the Monolith. Luna-1 was later stored away at Mindgate's Headquarters.
