History

Concept art of the Underground Lab
Discovery of the drawing of the giant mechanical being

The Lab was used by the Great Beings to design and develop their creations. Among these creations were the Element Lords, who were created in the lab's Cavern of the Elements.

Long after the Great Beings had departed, the lab was discovered by the Glatorian Kiina. At some point, the Agori Berix discovered the cavern as well and frequently visited it, discovering a coin carved with various symbols on it. When Kiina learned of his visits there, she became distraught and warned Berix not to return to the cavern, as she had meant it to be her private sanctuary to escape from the hardships of her life on Bara Magna.

After the successful joint efforts of the Bone Hunters and Skrall forces to annihilate the village of Tajun, Kiina, Ackar, and Mata Nui sought to find a safe place to hide the wounded Gresh. The female Glatorian led her companions to the doorway of the lab. Once inside, Mata Nui noted familiar glyphs on the walls and a doorway with the symbol of the Three Virtues carved upon it.

The group discovered the presence of Berix inside the chamber, and a violent argument ensued between the Water Glatorian and the Agori. Berix insisted that he could heal Gresh, and that his prowess in fixing things was evident in his ability to have illuminated the Cavern. After some deliberation, Kiina finally acquiesced to the others' desire for him to tend to Gresh's wounds. Ackar revealed to Mata Nui that the Great Beings were the architects of the chamber, which accounted for the sense of familiarity Mata Nui felt in the chamber. As Mata Nui touched the door of the Three Virtues, the Kanohi Ignika was activated and the door slid open to reveal a lower level of the lab. Exploring the basement level, Mata Nui discovered a drawing of a giant mechanical being similar to that which he formerly ruled.

Later, while both were incarcerated in a cage in Roxtus, Kiina and Berix agreed to share the chamber as a mutual sanctuary.

Cavern of the Elements

This upper level of the lab contains six chambers arrayed around a central area with six spires. Here, the Great Beings summoned the prospective Element Lords to be created. The Element Lords were created in shifts, with at least one chamber being used multiple times.[1]

These chambers are unable to change Agori or the bio-mechanical beings of the Matoran Universe.[2]

Trivia

  • In The Legend Reborn, the diagram of Mata Nui is labeled in Matoran lettering. The diagram as a whole is titled "Mata Nui Robot", with individual diagrams labeled "front view" and "side view". A line pointing to Karda Nui identifies it as Mata Nui's "heart chamber". In the lower right-hand corner of the diagram the words "Bara Magna test site" are shown.
