The device is dirty and most of the data seems to be corrupt. There are however still a few readable entries:

Today we found something else. I do not know where to begin really as I have never seen anything quite like it in my whole life. During a break in our studies Ivan ventured out into the woods on the other side of the orb. When he came back, the poor man's face was as pale as a ghost. I have known him both personally and professionally for many years, but have never seen him so shocked.
It took him several minutes to just regain enough self control to stop trembling. Since he refused, or rather was unable to tell us what he had seen I decided that we should explore for ourselves. We didn't have to go far before a horrible, revolting stench hit us. So strong we had to wear our masks.
In a small clearing in the woods we found them - argonauts. I wasn't even sure they were actually argonauts before I dared to go closer and have a better look. There were hundreds of them - all dead. Some of the horrific mutilated carcasses were skinned like pigs. Most showed signs of being having been eaten upon, their dismembered bodies and limbs forming sickening patterns laid on the ground, hung in trees in an almost ritual manner.
I didn't tell the others, but I know. I have no idea how but I know it was them.
They ate each other.

I have begun making some sense of the first snippets of data from Jensen's distorted reports. Apparently he was one of those adventurous researchers, travelling the length and breadth of the continent, exploring every inhospitable, hostile corner of it.
Years ago he took a team to the western regions of Eudoria. The terrain was horrible and they were getting desperately low on resources when they discovered the object on a desolate, cracked plain. Jensen immediately began collecting data from it. He describes it as a 'perfect sphere. So dark it seems to reflect nothing but the darkest night'.
He was excited. I can tell. Just like me.
