Quantum Skull
Crystalline skull with biomechanical properties
Overview
The Quantum Skull is a translucent crystalline structure shaped like a humanoid skull, but with distinctly non-human proportions. It appears to be both a biological artifact and a computational device, with neural pathways made of quantum-entangled particles.
Discovery & Origin
Discovered in an underground chamber on Orpheus-9 in 2019, the Skull was surrounded by thousands of similar but non-functional skulls, suggesting it was a unique prototype or evolutionary endpoint. The chamber appeared to be a workshop or laboratory of an ancient civilization.
Scientific Analysis
The Skull demonstrates rudimentary awareness, with its internal light patterns changing in response to external stimuli. Researchers theorize it may be a preserved consciousness or an artificial intelligence housed in a biological-mimicking structure. It occasionally emits electromagnetic pulses that translate to mathematical equations describing quantum mechanics.
