'''K1''' was a late [[Golden Age]] project undertaken in the [[Ocean of Storms]] on [[Moon|Luna]] under the direction of the [[Aeronautics of China]] and the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray corporation]], dedicated to uncovering secret knowledge that was believed to be withheld by [[the Traveler]]. Many of the project's staff were driven to madness by an [[Anomaly (artifact)|artifact]] from the [[Pyramids]], and eventually perished to the [[Hive]] during the [[Collapse]]. The remains of the project's outposts would ultimately become occupied by the Hive and [[Fallen]] as [[Lost Sector]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Revelation|Revelation]]''</ref>

==Overview==
==Overview==
The K1 project was described as a nonprofit venture between the Aeronautics of China and the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray Exoscience Agglomerated]] to uncover extra-spatial transmissions related to [[The Traveler|the Traveler]], which involve extradimensional signals that propagate through [[Wikipedia:Calabi-Yau manifold|Calabi-Yau manifold sixspace]] in terms of metaphysics. One of the main objectives of the project involved studying an [[Anomaly (artifact)|anomalous artifact]] discovered beneath the surface of the Moon, despite the [[Nightmares|risks]] that plagued the crew at the time.

The K1 mission was later modified by Clovis Bray to quarantine the artifact in a sophisticated [[The Anomaly|containment system]] after reports surfaced of it having adverse psychological effects on the K1 crew. Despite their attempts to mitigate the problem, the majority of the crew went insane listening to the broadcasts from the [[Darkness]]; having succumbed to its philosophical messages of existential struggle.

The nature of the project was kept to the utmost secrecy, as only the boards of the Aeronautics of China and Clovis Bray having in-depth knowledge regarding the deep-space signals received by the artifact. The mission was also secretly monitored by an AI provided by Clovis Bray called [[Firewall]], which in actuality answered to the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] by surveying the signals received from the [[Darkness]] and the effects it had on the crew.

EM triangulation led the mining excavation at [[K1 Revelation|Dig Site 3]], where miners dug nearly twelve hundred meters deep into the Moon's crust before they broke into a tunnel lined with flood basalt and rich in potassium, phosphorous, and other rare earth elements. There they uncovered the artifact held up upon a geological pillar formation that the borer broke. Debriefing to Xuan, the miners reported that the borer and their mining equipment shut down the moment it got near the artifact.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Revelation#The Discovery|Lore:Revelation, The Discovery]]''</ref> <ref name="K1 Jounal, Entry 2">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Collector's Edition, [[Kuang Xuan's Logbook#Entry Two|Kuang Xuan's Logbook, Entry Two]]''</ref>

Dr. [[Tanis Lee]] described the artifact as a transceiver attuned to what she believed to be the Traveler's home.

However, because of its paracausal nature, the Commander advised precaution as the artifact is kept shielded and research on a tight schedule with daily rotations between sites.<ref name = "K1 Jounal, Entry 2" /> <ref name="K1 Journal, Entry 3">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Collector's Edition, [[Kuang Xuan's Logbook#Entry Three|Kuang Xuan's Logbook, Entry Three]]''</ref> <ref name="K1 Journal, Entry 4">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Collector's Edition, [[Kuang Xuan's Logbook#Entry Four|Kuang Xuan's Logbook, Entry Four]]''</ref>
 
Growing suspicious over the secrecy of the project, Kuang Xuan would announce K1 to cease all communications with the [[First Light Lunar Installation]] on the surface despite concerns of the Aeronautics board. She then ordered Firewall to scrub their conversations and cease its connections with Rasputin only to be denied on the latter. Xuan instead had the complex mapped of critical relays for cross-space transmission highlighted for potential backdoors.<ref name = "Detached">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Revelation#Detached|Lore:Revelation, Detached]]''</ref>
 
Few months into the mission, reports of insomnia began to spread among the crew.<ref name="K1 Journal, Entry 5">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Collector's Edition, [[Kuang Xuan's Logbook#Entry Five|Kuang Xuan's Logbook, Entry Five]]''</ref> [[Wade Bow|Dr. Wade Bow]], the crew's neuropsychiatrist, diagnosed that over eighty percent of the crew exposed to the artifact had been plagued with intrusive thoughts, insomnia, narcolepsy, nightmares, and hallucinations.<ref name = "Noetic Effects">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Revelation#Noetic Effects|Lore:Revelation, Noetic Effects]]''</ref> Following Bow's dismission, Xuan had set shift limits at two hours max and rotate teams between sites each week to limit proximity.<ref name = "Noetic Effects" /> <ref name="K1 Journal, Entry 6">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Collector's Edition, [[Kuang Xuan's Logbook#Entry Six|Kuang Xuan's Logbook, Entry Six]]''</ref>
 
After the reports of insomnia and intrusive thoughts, the scientists of the K1 project were attacked and killed by "things"<ref name = "Downfall">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore:Revelation#Downfall|Lore:Revelation, Downfall]]''</ref> and were unable to escape. It was most likely Crota's spawn that they had came across since he and his spawn had already hidden out in the moon's depths.

The main K1 Research Base was built to house the artifact in the MASM Cladding and Containment System, an advanced dodecahedron-shaped cage built by Clovis Bray to shield the artifact's transmissions from the inside while kept simultaneously monitored by Firewall, an AI submind delegated to the Warmind Rasputin. Recently, the base was converted into the [[Crucible]] map [[The Anomaly]] by [[Shaxx]] and his [[Redjacks]] for the purpose of training and sparring [[Guardian]]s.

The K1 mission complex is also divided into several different subterranean dig sites that operated as separate facilities across [[Mare Cognitum]] on the [[Moon]]; most which are now occupied by enemies like the Hive and Fallen as [[Lost Sector]]s.
