Through the events from Crysis 2 the Ceph begin to adapt to the Earth triggering Ceph Colonization Stage 2. This is the first Ceph Colonization Stage, before they had become adapted to the "new" Earth humans had created. Only in 2020 did they fully awaken in response to American and North Korean forces tampering with another facility under the Lingshan Islands. For most of human history, they laid dormant - even after Jacob Hargreave and Karl Ernst Rasch triggered a catastrophic explosion in one of their facilities in Tunguska. They left behind infrastructure that would periodically awaken and study that ecosystem for unique proteins that may have evolved. The Ceph have been on Earth for at least 65 million years, and are implied to have seeded Earth with the basics of an ecosystem. The age of Hyperion suggested that it might have been another seeding ship from a more ancient Ceph, as the entire M33 Galaxy Ceph is only half a billion years old while Hyperion is one billion years old. Two much smaller but still immense over-hives existed in M33 Galaxy is Iapetus to west of galactic core and Coeus at the eastern fringes and another one million additional hives, each covering three or more star systems. It is known that the southern spiral arm of the galaxy is a part of a vast, billion-year-old web of countless planets, ships and colonies that make up a single over-hive called Hyperion. However, though, they were able to gain some vital information on the unimaginably more advanced extragalactic Ceph from the Triangulum Galaxy. scientists spent 20 years cracking their communications and studying them, they came to the general consensus that the Ceph and their language were so far beyond the understanding of humanity that most of their work is all but speculation, leading them to underestimate much of their Ceph-derived technology. This came from when the Ceph awakened and soon found out that humanity is slowly destroying the Earth, making their work that spanned many millions of years gone to waste.Īfter the capture of Alpha Ceph, when C.E.L.L. Their fight with humanity is in fact, similar to how a gardener trying to cut weeds, or the owner of a house (Earth) finding bugs in their home. If this is the case, then the Ceph stationed on Earth are only an automated system programmed to wake up every once in a while to scout the planet for scientific data that might be useful.Īccording to the Gardener Theory speculated by Hargreave, the Ceph on Earth might be "gardeners" that look after a "garden" (Earth), nurturing its life and observing evolution of all lifeforms on it. Jacob Hargreave speculates that, since the Ceph have such advanced technology that can create practically anything they can think of, their sole interest is in the things they can't think of, namely surprising proteins and organisms that evolution gives rise to over millions of years of adaptation. Their purpose is also expanded upon in the novel Crysis Legion.
The seeding ship found on Earth is thought to be the cause of the mass-extinction event at the time, and it was rendered inactive for an unknown period of time before becoming active again, gathering energy along with other Ceph devices across the planet to form a network. The earliest record on them is that they arrived in the Solar System 65 million years ago along with multiple space vessels/seeding ships with unknown purpose (though the one on Earth is similar to a scientific outpost). The true origin and age of the Ceph is completely unknown.
#MONSTERS IN MOTION PULSE RIFLE SERIES#
Their most recent activity prior to the events of the series occurred some 2 million years ago, after which they went into a dormant state until 1919, when Jacob Hargreave set in motion events in Tunguska that led to the eventual awakening of all Ceph lithoships across the Earth, though this began with minor activities and technology testing in the early 21st century until their complete awakening by the Korean People's Army on the Lingshan Islands. The Ceph on Earth originate from the Triangulum Galaxy, also known as "Messier 33", located in the constellation Triangulum, approximately 3 million light years from Earth. Although there are several theories, it is speculated that they have been acting to prevent human degradation of the Earth's environment. They are hostile towards humanity and are waging what appears to be a war of extermination against them. The Ceph, short for Cephalopods, also known as the Charybdis, are a technologically advanced alien species who arrived on Earth approximately 65 million years ago, and represent the primary antagonists of the Crysis series.
