Why Did The Order Destroy Their Own Lab?

He says nothing for a long moment, preparing his thoughts before speaking. “It has been confirmed that hours before you arrived, Scelestus City was in a nuclear explosion, destroying everything and everyone, including the hundreds of Order soldiers in the city,” he begin, firmly. “Also the lab, that Jensen and all your friends testify being real, was also destroyed in the blast.
