He was at least aware of the power obelisk, as referenced by an email that he sent noting that it could take down a plane. For some period prior to the lab's downfall, Mathew worked for Sahara Therapeutics as head of the Jarius Project, researching the resurrection obelisk as indicated by his credit in Orientation Slideshow #2. The exact sequence of these events is unclear, and could paint radically different pictures of Mathew Cross depending on their order. Presumably killed by his daughter who stuck crayons into him. Cross can be found at the end of the game, dead. This suggests that this has happened fairly recently, as the head scientist Dr. Almost all human inhabitants are gone, leaving behind decaying corpses, bloody body parts, and a few live mutants and cannibals. At some point, something went terribly wrong in the lab, as shown on one of the camcorder tapes an Armsy escaped from its containment, which possibly led to a cannibal/mutant uprising that left the facility overrun. These genetic mutations were isolated and studied for their possible applications in other fields, such as cloning and adult longevity.
However, this would in turn result in the death of the submitted child, who themselves would subsequently need to be revived at the cost of another, thus creating a cycle of child sacrifice and resurrection.Īfter the process, they were placed in observation rooms where they began to develop genetic mutations ranging from grotesque physical deformities to highly exponential growth rates. Mathew Cross began experimenting with the artifact by using a living child to revive one that had died. These initial test subjects may have been sick children whose parents had volunteered them for participation in clinical trials at the facility where they were relocated to and continued receiving medical treatment. The Jarius Project was probably first marketed as a program, whose aim was to heal terminally ill children. Sahara Therapeutics purchased the Peninsula at some point to conduct its experiments on "eternal life" and resurrection through the obelisks, and built a complex system of offices and research labs, stretching as high as the mountains to deep below the ground into the caves. This would mean that mutants at least were already on the peninsula at this point, further pointing towards the artifacts as the cause of the mutants.
According to the Latin Paper, the Missionaries encountered a four-legged woman, most likely referring to Virginia.
Their corpses are often left alone and mummified, which suggests a sudden catastrophic event which led to their death. Bibles too are a frequent find near their old camps and inside the caves next to the corpses. They left many Crucifixes scattered around the place, along with crosses projected on to walls sometimes near their heavily decayed and mummified corpses. It can be found near the grey tents with Bibles and crosses that seem to be a hallmark of the missionaries, along with being near lots of mummified corpses, praying to an obelisk drawing.ĭue to the presence of the Latin Paper, it can be assumed that the group of missionaries were Roman Catholics or similar, including someone with decent knowledge of church Latin. The Virginia Sketch almost certainly belongs to the missionaries, as it is drawn in the same fashion. The Latin Paper, presumably belonged to said Christian missionaries, can be found in an abandoned camp in Cave 1 surrounded by aged items such as raw dynamite sticks. At some point (probably late 19th or early 20th century), many Christian missionaries or priests came to the peninsula.
