The Fiesta and Maloof said they agreed to the settlement "to avoid litigation and economize resources." It was signed by George and Michael Maloof of the Fiesta and their lawyer William Urga and Gaming Board Chairman Steve DuCharme, member Dennis Neilander and Kizer.

The men who were encountered do confirm than an ancient (ante- deluvian?) race did in fact leave behind extremely sophisticated technology, and it is probably true that man in his largely unregenerate state might be influenced to destroy themselves with these sophisticated machinery if given the chance.
This could be due to the fact that their 'controllers' (the serpent races?) realize the dangers of such technology and desire to conquer without destroying that which they are conquering.
As for these underground or subsurface people, they are apparently part of a race or races who discovered these recesses either hundreds or thousands of years ago, or perhaps different groups who discovered this network throughout this entire period of time.
