BEYOND THE SHIELD

The ruins traditionally identified as Professor Alvas's original laboratory became a Technobeast historical site long before Xanaras. The place where uplifted animals were created, employed, confined, learned to modify one another, and eventually revolted was preserved with uncomfortable care.
