Aye, this level was an early creation and one that featured in the Infinity demo. The terminals in the demo version are similar but with a few subtle changes. And of course these is the missing terminal.
The presence of dead Bobs and their weapons probably reflects changes in the story line.
To quote the creator, Chris Giesel:
This level was my creation, but everybody made changes, added architecture, retextured, and tweaked the monsters before it was through. Believe it or not, the original idea for the level was to have a ruined S'pht area that was infested with F'lickta, and which would culminate with the player finding the ball sitting on an ornate dais deep within the structure. When the player picked up the skull F'lickta would come pouring out of the woodwork, Indiana Jones style, to revenge themselves on whomever dared disturb their totem. Unfortunately, we could never get the ball to appear in a single player game, so the idea was dropped. The title for the level remained. This level was a very early creation.
