The Island Resurrection Project was a failed initiative led by Alan Clayton and several Küiser Laboratories employees, many of which were ex-Nevrin, to regain control of the Girvan Offshore Science Facility (GOSF) and use its secrets for the benefit of the scientific community. It ultimately ended in failure, but set the stage for later events surrounding the island as well as Raven's eventual cleanup of the site in Operation Lighthouse.

In 2015 the company succeeded in secretly deploying personnel to the Island's surface and establishing new communications links to the mainland. However, a 2021 groundbreaking expedition further into the Exertus Annex resulted in the disappearance of Alan along with his entire team. Küiser leadership planned to deploy another expedition closer to 2030, but these plans were halted by the company's collapse and acquisition by Helios Corporation.

Arrival

Power

On arrival by Küiser, most equipment had been left in a seriously derelict state and had degraded over the years. All power to surface machinery had been cut, and the backup systems had to be restored individually. As both of the emergency generator plants beneath the surface had decayed due to age, Küiser installed a prototype FLiBe reactor similar to those used in Weather Run towers, which kept running for decades after Küiser's collapse.

Communications

Personnel began installation of a new, IP-based communications system using existing cable pathways down to Exertus, however they noted the original analog phone system "Line A" still worked, it having fallen back to an ancient "party line" mode.

The "Electric Shed" was used as the centrepoint for the new communications system, and it was here where Küiser attempted to reboot and link with Nevrin's old digital phone network, to only moderate success. STORM transceivers were installed in The Lighthouse to provide a high-bandwidth link back to Küiser Command; however, these suffered from the interference problems that plagued Weather Run technology at the time.
