Dr. Kurt Xanatos:
"So here we are at the famous remains of the Apollo Temple in Delphi, Greece. Doctor Ishiro Serizawa has personally assigned me to lead and send a scientific exploration team here to uncover the cause behind some recent tremours which we believe to be some sort of massive terrestrial organism.
For those who don't know, the Temple of Apollo was where the famous Pythia resided, the mythical oracle who tell certain futures by inhaling some sort of gas or vapour emerging from a chasm. Over the years, many scientists and archaeologists, myself included, have expressed their own theories on what kind of fumes these might've been. Soon enough, some of the higher-ups at Monarch caught on to my fascination with the legendary mysteries of the Pythia oracle and offered me an opportunity as well as funding to travel to Greece and find the heart of this age-old legend.
Anyway, we've some excavators literally digging into this case to see the true source, and I intend to overlook, observe, and document any and all details regarding this little venture of ours."
"Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of nature: If you don't find within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. In you is hidden the treasure of treasures. Know thyself and you shall know the universe and the gods..."
- The Oracle of Delphi
