A girl rides her new bike. Suddenly, the ground disappears beneath her. Waking up at the bottom of a pit, she sees a rescue team above her. The people looking down see something far stranger... That girl grows up to be Dr Rose Franklin, a scientist and leading expert on what she discovered. An enormous hand made of an exceptionally rare metal, which predates all human civilization on the continent.

Smoking Man X-Files vibes

An alien artifact triggers a race to harness its immense power. Told mostly via interview transcripts, which kinda works (I liked how the interviewer gradually becomes more of a protagonist, and more invested in the interviewees) but doesn't do justice to the action sequences. Smoking Man X-Files vibes.
