Leviathan (Documents)

There are several Documents that Players have received so far that have all discussed Leviathan. Leviathan appears to be a system of machines that stop humanity from reaching certain things. It may be named in reference to the Biblical being, but there are several references in these texts to Norse mythology. More analysis is needed to uncover their purpose and location.

## Ocean Leviathan

The Ocean Leviathan document was described as "log files" from the "[Ocean] Leviathan." The text file was obtained from Informant.

This document appears to discuss the creation of the myth of Jörmungandr, and may reference the arrival of the Vikings in North America.
