- — Maya Sundaresh[1]
Lhasa is a major city in Tibet, a region of Earth, and that has long been considered the region's capital. During the Golden Age, it was home to a laboratory that produced a prototype of "The Device" later used by the Future War Cult.
Overview[edit]
During the Golden Age, about forty years after the end of Maya Sundaresh and Chioma Esi's research of the Vex as part of the Ishtar Collective on Venus, Sundaresh would join a research team (supervised by a Warmind) located in Lhasa. There, Sundaresh would incorporate her previous research into the Vex and their gateway systems to create "The Device", a machine that allowed the user to view possible futures and alternate timelines. The detrimental effects of the machine on those who used it caused Sundaresh's research team to adopt superstitious behaviors, hoping that these would cause the machine to work better.[1]
The Collapse would see "The Device" lost to history until a Future War Cult expedition during the City Age to "a Golden Age laboratory in Tibet" saw the research team's prototype recovered and rebuilt. The Device would become a focal point for the Future War Cult, with both its leader and trusted members experimenting with it over the years.[2]
