The Harvester was one of the facility's created hybrid beings—one of many experiments conducted in the lab section, but the most successful and therefore the most dangerous. It had been designed to collect dimensional energy from the rifts, to serve as a living tool for harvesting the power that the ancient prisoner generated or that leaked from the dimensional tears the facility's mine operations created. It had worked perfectly at first, collecting energy with unprecedented efficiency, fulfilling its purpose so completely that the researchers had considered it their greatest achievement, proof that they could tame and replicate forces beyond mortal comprehension.
