New "mysterious object" in haven. lets talk about it

so, you all saw it, a obelisk with few groundbreaker knights in heavens little park, what could it be for?
Notes:
sense its in heaven its something that will for sure stay there so i doubt its an event
My ideas:
Monolith that will alow us to buy/get new pets
Mineral Deposit of some sort
Gate that leads to something
Mysterious artifact hidden under the rock
Statue in Honor of Nick?
post your ideas, and lets figure what this could mean

It's a giant phallus symbol under construction. It should be ready until midsummer and then we will dance around it.

yeah, and maybe we will be able to summon arceus with this

The Knight standing atop it is being venerated as the Pope as I speak. I approve of this.

What surprises me is that the Stranger next to the Garden wall (forgot his name) doesn't have anything to say about it.

It's a friend for Monomi (the gun puppy statue)... I think.

Why the garden though? That was such a tranquil part in haven.....gone are the days hiding in the corner and loling at some random asking you why you are standing there....... :(

@Arcknightdelta
See Arcade or right side of the Town Square.
@Thread
I do hope that it's a new use for Minerals...which would be a way to get a new set of Sprites OR just something that eats our minerals. I have 200-300 of green and blue minerals.
EDIT: Thread name: New "mysterious object" in heaven. lets talk about it
Haven*

It's obviously going to involve gel drops. So many gel drops. What could I be referring to? You'll just have to figure it out yourself!

Erm, its either a statue of Nick, some kind of useful (or not so useful) machine, or what I am hoping for, some kind of gate that adds to the storyline. I'm getting tired grinding Vana and doing LD all the time ;_;

It's a functionless piece of scenery to distract us from the fact that they aren't working on anything.

@Bluencool
Yeah, it was showing *less* heat for me as well.
A shrine for an ex-developer sounds like one of the least-likely things this could be. Has Spiral Knights done that in the past though?

@Sir-Greenlink
For a moment I thought you were talking about Monomi from Super Dangan Ronpa 2... I should probably lay off that game for a bit, but it's just too good...! D:
@Autofire
You only have 200-300 blue and green crystals? How in the world? o.O I have more than 1k of each. Hopefully they'll be useful soon. If OOO actually plans of giving us more Sprites.
@Jabbzz
"I'm getting tired grinding Vana and doing LD all the time ;_;"
There's a neat thing called the Clockworks. You can access them from the Arcade or from the Mission Menu (handy!). You might even find some Recipes at Basil that are worth selling.
In all seriousness, though, play some Clockwork runs every now and then. FSC gets way too boring :P

@Arilys
I haven't been playing a lot.
And no 200-300 each. All together.

hmmm..
it would be great if they were carrying a gigantic battle sprite, and they use chemicals to replicate it, then we could mount battle sprites!!

The 'knights' that brought it in could be disguised gremlins trying to create a mechanical monster that will destroy haven and everything in it.

Its either:
A- some lame [cog] statue that does jack $%!
or
B- It will remain as is as a permanent fixture that they(the devs) will completely forget about and never progress forward(much like the core).
My money is on B

@Arilys
Oh really???? There is an Arcade and this thing you call "Clockworks" ??!? Well gee, Im a freakin Vanguard and I didnt know about this? All my problems are now solved!! :D . . . Sarcasm is fun isnt it. Yeah I know about Arcade silly but Ive been there, done that. Ive been waiting on some new content and hopefully this might be the beginning of it.

@Jabba :3
Dat rage.^^
JK is my favorite. :3
Grab a team and do some SLs ? Those are soo fun~~~
@OP
Don't know why but...this popped into my head. judgeme Lessthanthree(Title)

@Panafishie
MISHHH! \(^w^)/
And yes JK is very fun, and SLs are are a good challenge :D
-continues to rage and flip tables-

@Jabba
Raaaawr.
Dooo all ze SLs. No ERs Elite. Dooo et. i haz faith in u.

@Pandafishie
Yes. . . . I must do this -puts on shades-

Silly, it's a Tardis in construction.
But in all seriousness, it is most likely a shrine of sorts,or a statue, or a place to use minerals in some way.

Maybe it a Pig Tail Knight statue, ALL HAIL THE PIG TAIL KNIGHT EMPIRE!!!!
on topic, it could have something to do with the gunner update or something?

Maybe its a machine for the gunner update that has connection with the story to further progress it??
Sounds like something.....
I have really no idea what this could be... I've been looking at a few of these posts and I must say, some are simply fabulous, and some are really making me think. But I think it could be a start to some sort of building or tower, that we might be able to explore once it's done.

Hm, Seeing this, It makes think of all the good times that Spiral Knights given me, weird but fun(snarby), random(died in clockworks :(, first try though), exciting(apocrea) , scary (first vana evar), funny (jk), /cry (when i got that 1st 5 star wep) , /cheer (when i got that 30 tokens for a blackened) experiences :) . This is bringing me back,this is why I played this game in the first place. Its randomness. You dont know whats next, and out of the blue theres a patch.
Somedays the ce(just call it ce for crying out loud) is down, sometimes its up. Sometimes there are no players, sometimes there are too many players, and i lag in LD. Sometimes ALL(250) my friends are on, sometimes they arent.
Im really grateful to Nick and the whole Spiral Knights Team for giving me this kind of experience, FOR FREE.
And whatever comes next, we old timers all know we'll forget about this (statue,new battle sprites, new vendor,or doorway to somwhere under the training hall,or whatever) after a few months, just like the battle sprites. ;)
I salute you Spiral Knights Team, And im excited for whatever is next! Thanks! ^_^
May the energy be with you! ^_^

It had better be a giant bag of the radiant crystals we haven't been getting from FSC.
Oh, wait, that might be a little too "generous" and "free".

quit your whining i didnt make this post to listen to people complaining about radiants and demand all sorts of things. id like to stay and talk about the Monolith so if you would be kind, save that for another thread.

It's SCP-173... stuck in a rather small containment unit.
~Gwen

She's right, guys. SCP is the new boss, I called it.

I don't mean to sound overly cynical, but its probably not going to be that exciting.
Kind of like how the new section of Haven was just really meh. I mean, yeah its great. The lab, guild hall, etc. all look fantastic, but I'd rather not have to wait 60 seconds to see the combined front of every guild hall as one building when I can just press 'm' to go wherever I please..
I don't think it will be entirely dull either; a 2nd gun puppy statue would be unexpected and boring beyond belief. It'll probably be some small function, like a new crafting/gambling station that gets you some set of items or does some basic functionality. It wouldn't surprise me if it was just another event.

Devilites will burst out of it and destroy everything.

@Fangel
Ok ok, so in order to get in, they put men inside a big horse statue and gave it as a present... except the knights don't even care if its a horse or anything meaningful and will just take anything. So they were given a big slab of concrete instead.

Inside that box, is another box. Plain and simple.

"but could someone post a pic of it for me?"
Here Taken in-game and cropped with GIMP

Inside that box, is another box. Plain and simple.
Now that's what I call thinking outside the box.
It's the beginning of the ammo depot, where knights will have to use CE to buy magazines for use with the Gunner Update.

@Mystrian Thanks for the upload!
@Avengeroftroy *gasp* how could you SAY that?! (Jk lol but I think pigtail knights are cute :/)
i have no idea, i only hope it is something good and useful
