Fast forward to when 2007's plot starts, matoran sea god cult on Voya Nui leading into the undersea adventure where we learn the Barraki radiate telepathic suggestions lesser minds, which the nearby Mahri Nui matoran interpret as a call to bust them out of their ancient arcane detainment. Shenanigans ensue, and we learn the aforementioned backstory of the Barraki and more as the plot progresses.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to write some trashy fanfiction or something about this.
