Initially, the technician responsible for disassembling the enemy ships didn't realize that the metal sphere was a life form. They just discovered that it had a large amount of complex calculations inside and took it for a regular computational core, giving it to the resource recovery team and the quantum computing engineering group to use in their experiments.
A young employee in the quantum computing engineering group tried to read the programs inside the sphere, hoping to learn from other's computational logic. Instead, they found a series of cryptic symbols like ghostly drawings.
The young man couldn't recognize them, so he copied the symbols and submitted them to his superiors.
Soon, the information was handed over to the main brain, Star, which couldn't decrypt it in a short time. However, by comparing past data, Star found out the origin of the symbols.
They were from the first alien encounter in human history, the Egyptian tribe's escape pod stored in Area 52.
