If I am ever close enough to see any animal anywhere, that is frothing at the mouth. I will make an attempt to be the fastest human on foot on Earth. This is my Plan A for avoiding said catastrophe.
I am in contact with people who have investigated this device. They think it is made of an unknown material. Chemicals and physical tools have no effect on it. Attempts to modify or remove it with Dekatron-valve-controlled implosions (note the dimpled stone surface) have been unsuccessful. Age could not be determined, but some investigators believe it served a purpose before being installed at this location: details are too sensitive for me to discuss. No radioactivity detected. Device emits radio waves of extremly high frequencies at regular intervals, suggesting that it is a beacon of some kind. At this point I must clam up lest I reveal too much.
