Desmond explored the Temple looking for a socket for the battery he'd just acquired. Along the way, he encountered Juno, who explained the solutions the First Civilization had tried to save the world from the First Disaster.

*'''Juno: '''''In the beginning, when we thought we could be saved, we sought to face the sun's wrath and contain it. Four towers would be built- to pull her fury into this place and dispel it. But even with all we knew... with all we had... It would take too long. A thousand years we could labor and still the work would not be done... The first tower was never completed, the project abandoned... We moved on. But while we labored on other endeavors, a few returned. They thought to automate the process... Metal might finish what flesh could not.''

*'''Juno: '''''If we could not meet the sun's cruel embrace... Perhaps we might rebuke it. Already we could generate the fields-to protect us in times of strife... But these were small and simple things. To replicate them on a scale the size of a world... We lacked the energy to make it so. Half the world, they said, then. It is better than none at all. We tried. Again, we failed. A quarter, they asked. Even this, we could not do... A sixth! An eighth! A tenth, they cried! The answer was still the same. Perhaps in time, a city might be spared... But it was time we did not have... So we moved on.''

Desmond soon found a socket and plugged the power source into it. When this was done, he returned down below and talked to Rebecca.
