The Body

Navigating to the site was difficult, and required the utmost skill and attention. However, in the center of the crater and amidst the raging storm we discovered a most unusual skeleton. The remains are as ancient as those within the mass grave, though both the phenotype and genotype of the body were entirely different from the corpses we found there. The skeleton's uniform was surprisingly well preserved, and it too showed significant differences in design. There were also signs that some of the appendages were deliberately removed... But most curious were the readings from our sensors: we detected energy fluctuations around the body and from within. These signatures bore a surprising similarity to those inside this massive storm, as well as to the cosmic storm that originally uncovered the mass grave. A theory began to form: Was this individual linked to the storms we've encountered so far? Might they even have been responsible for the burial of the army? It felt bizarre to consider, but the facts were leading us this way.
