Archives

The Archives are a large "museum" in Onu-Metru. They contain information on almost everything known about, special artifacts (like the Onu-Metru Great Disk) and various Rahi, most stuffed in Statis Tubes. The lower levels of the Archives are a dangerous place where it is easy to get lost. Many Rahi have also escaped their tubes in the lower levels, making it a highly dangerous place. Some Matoran have become lost in the Archives, never to be found again. An Onu-Matoran known as the Chief Archivist made major decisions concerning the Archives along with Turaga Dume. Each entrance was guarded by one guard and the doors had locks that consisted of three levers that changed their position every day. Only the guard on duty knew the combination and position of the levers. At this point, the aformentioned security has been abandoned.

During the Great Cataclysm, the Archives were badly damaged, freeing almost all of the captured Rahi. The Archives have since been repaired to their former glory and the information and Rahi are being replaced and recaptured. However, many of the Rahi that escaped are still loose.

Toa Whenua worked at the Archives, so the other Toa Metru counted on him if they want to learn more about the Archives. The Rahaga took refuge in the Archives when they came to Metru Nui with the Avohkii.

In Dark Mirror, apparently the Kraahkan was placed there, along with Turaga Dume (in a stasis tube). Also in the lower level Teridax and Krika where there. Dweller is hiding in the Archives, waiting for a chance to attack Takanuva.
