The Ilghal Fragment from the Entrance to Deep City remains one of the most unsettling discoveries of Expedition EX2407pD-QW. This fragment, first detected in the Eurasian laboratories, suggested that the lost EX2101pD-WG expedition reached the access zone long before stable Ilghal-reading protocols existed. Since then, the Ilghal Fragment from the Entrance to Deep City has become a central reference in my analyses, both for its emotional intensity and for the precision with which it describes an environment identical to the one I am observing now: the glowing dome rising from the frozen terrain, the circular depression, and the scattered cubic structures surrounding it like the fossilized remains of a settlement.

Although the environmental conditions here make survival impossible, I maintain the hypothesis that these cubic formations were once inhabited. Their fractured geometry and silent positioning suggest a purposeful arrangement, even if its meaning has been erased by time and cold. The scene evokes a profound stillness, as if something long extinguished left an imprint that persists in the spatial order of the entrance.

With the faint signals we have managed to reconstruct, I present what I consider the most coherent version of the Ilghal record attributed to EX2101pD-WG:

ENTRY_2101-A/C16::
circle_void::slow_descent()
cubes::murmur[0001]    // faceless procession
light_dome::cold_pulse()
they.walked_hollow()   // tears not recorded
end.protocol//

Its content cannot be rendered or linked to any Blender 3D v.∞ protocol. Even so, the emotional weight of the fragment —that mixture of fear, resignation, and awe— continues to guide every hypothesis I form about the Entrance to Deep City.
