This document has been prepared for deep-space colonists who may encounter artifacts or specimens of the Architect civilization.

The Architects (individually *Almanach instantia*) were a cyborg civilization whose phase gate network spanned, and reached beyond, transgov space. They surveilled Earth more than a thousand years ago.

Knowledge of the Architects has been compartmentalized due to the dangerous and sensitive nature of Architect technology. DO NOT APPROACH OR ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE POSSIBLE ARCHITECT FINDS. REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO THE NOETIC ADVISOR.

When examining your find for possible Architect influence, consult the following checklist: —Are there structures of monolithic or brutalist black blocks, with visible green components? —Are there power sources characterized by ionic lattices of synthetic ultraheavy elements? —Are there automated translation systems which can be accessed by your PDA? —Is there extensive use of phase gate technology for transportation and networking? —Are there active maintenance devices and high-density data stores?

It is VITAL that you avoid direct contact with Architect technology. Tragic loss of lives, ships, and priceless opportunities has ALWAYS followed uncontrolled interaction with these relics.

Further questions can be directed to your Noetic Advisor system, which is fully briefed on the necessaries. Please be patient with the needs of secrecy. Knowledge concerning the origin, extent, and fate of Architect civilization is best governed by the Alterra motto — "Get what you deserve."
