Mount Miniscule

The towers above the snowy range, blanketed in eternal ice. Officially, it's named after Sir George Miniscule the famous explorer who, curiously, never climbed it.

Why? According to legend, Sir George confessed in private: "I don't want to be eaten by aliens." He claimed he'd seen glowing lights in the sky near the mountain and heard strange voices carried on the wind. Terrified, he refused to set foot on its slopes.

The Expedition Council mocked him, calling the peak "Miniscule" to downplay his warnings. But his journals vanished, and his fears… well, they might not have been so foolish after all.

Travelers today still whisper of green flares in the night and machines humming beneath the ice. Some believe an ancient starship lies frozen below, its alien guardians waiting patiently for the next curious climber.

Maybe Sir George wasn't cowardly — maybe he was the wisest of us all.

But Sir George is on the SandCastle, check it out in Scene 53, maybe you will be able to meet Sir George to hear the full story.

🏔️ The Mystery Deepens

Recent satellite imagery has revealed disturbing patterns beneath the ice. Geometric shapes that shouldn't exist in nature, pulsing with an otherworldly energy.

Local Sherpa guides refuse to speak of Mount Miniscule anymore. They cross themselves and whisper ancient prayers when its name is mentioned. Some say the mountain "watches" those who dare to look upon it for too long.

The last expedition team sent to investigate returned... different. They spoke in unison, their eyes reflecting an unnatural light. Within days, they had all disappeared without a trace.

📡 Signal Intercepts

Transmission Log #2847-X
Source: Unknown - Mount Miniscule vicinity

"The sleeper stirs... the ice grows thin... they come seeking the old knowledge... George was wise to fear... the mountain remembers... we remember..."

This transmission was recorded three times in the past month. Each time, it was accompanied by a temperature drop of 15 degrees in a 50-mile radius around the mountain.

🔬 Scientific Analysis

Dr. Elena Vasquez, Xenogeologist:

"The ice samples we've analyzed contain trace elements not found on Earth. The crystalline structure suggests exposure to technology far beyond our current understanding. Whatever is beneath that mountain... it's not of this world."

Recommended Action: Maintain 10-kilometer exclusion zone. All aerial surveillance to be conducted via drone only. Human contact protocols: LEVEL BLACK.

⚠️ Final Warning

Mount Miniscule is now under indefinite quarantine by order of the International Defense Council. Approach is forbidden.

Sir George Miniscule's final words before entering protective custody:

"I should have never spoken its name aloud. Now it knows we know. God help us all."
