ATTENTION / 注意 / CAUTION
What you are about to see is classified beyond Top Secret. A “D”notice has been slapped on the entire incident. Do not minute any of the information listed below. If at risk of exposure, leave immediately.
The entire worldview is built from this simple question. In 1939, the Nazca paintings were first discovered by humans, and the following year, the Extraterrestrial Peaceable Consortium Of Investigation (EPCI) was secretly established in Peru to investigate extraterrestrial life on Earth. On January 24, 2020, a 4.5 magnitude earthquake hits Vancouver Island. At the source of the earthquake, the EPCI found several slabs with patterns and lines. The patterns and lines were similar to Nazca lines, and EPCI initially determined that this was a non-Earth language written by extraterrestrial life, and EPCI began to collaborate with university language laboratories around the world to begin the process of deciphering the language.
THE D EVENT
In December 2023, Dr. Chen from Research Extraterrestrial Science Surveillance Institute (RESSI) successfully completes the decipherment of the symbols, proving that the extraterrestrial beings are learning the human language system. Dr. Chen believes that they already have the ability to hide among us and have made Type IV contact with human society. All evidence and information was immediately submitted to EPCI headquarters, and on December 6th, EPCI convened an emergency information-sharing meeting with national intelligence agencies, which was classified as a "D" level secret. Unfortunately, the EPCI Supervisory Officer was assassinated during the meeting and died on the spot. The autopsy report showed that causes such as trauma and poisoning were ruled out but the officer died of natural causes.
AFTER THE D
EPCI and the Intelligence Agencies of various countries began to cooperate and launched an in-depth investigation. However, within a month, all senior officers in charge of extraterrestrial life investigation in intelligence bureaus around the world were killed for unknown reasons. Since then, the investigation of extraterrestrial life has been put on hold indefinitely, all classified documents have been archived, and the EPCI has been disbanded.
The EPCI Badge
Every former EPCI agent has a badge of their own. The insignia is a shield-shaped outline encasing the EPCI's main logo, which symbolizes the exploration of unknown civilizations, and visual elements from the Sumerian civilization, Mesopotamia.
With the EPCI permanently archived due to the intervention of extraterrestrial life, all secrets are thus buried in the minds of every agent. And we, perhaps, are the ants' friends.
