Some time after the Wassail, there was a brief opening where there was no one to watch over the Mansus. This was during the time when the prison of the hours was being built. Seizing this opportunity, the Big Brain Troupe - one of the most disorganized cults in existence, decided to bring a satellite into the pantheon. Sacrifice was the only viable option, and so wars and conflicts were a war was orchestrated all around the worldto provide it. The troupe did this following a demented prophecy that claimed the satellite (or any tool, really) would become sentient upon ascending.
