they're the illuminutti

they keep the dark secrets of peanut butter secret!

what are the illuminatti

why is this artifact so interesting to you

any ideas what it could have done to my crew member

can you explain the physical warping that allows this to have 9 corners and 10 sides?




What a shame. It was a good bomb. What a rotten way to be defused.

what are the illuminatti
: The "Illuminati" as we know of are a secretive group of individuals who seem to have a large interest in anything eldritch. The man you apparently saw at the dig site is within their ranks.
: We have no idea what their intentions may be, but we know for sure that they want nothing to do with the Solar Empire.
: Also, it is believed that they chose the name "Illuminati" because it sounds like such a fake name for a secret organization.

why is this artifact so interesting to you
: It is our job to study eldritch artifacts such as these. In doing so, we may be able to prevent anything like the shattering again.

any ideas what it could have done to my crew member
: It is not uncommon for people to become seemingly obsessed over eldritch artifacts like this. Once again, you should keep an eye on this crewmember so he doesn't hurt anyone.

can you explain the physical warping that allows this to have 9 corners and 10 sides?
: Eldritch architecture transcends physical laws. There is no way to explain a cube with nine corners and 10 sides, they simply are.
: Attempting to wrap your head around it will only result in insanity. It's best not to even think about it.

anything else?

Are there artifacts similar similar to the one we found?

Are there artifacts similar similar to the one we found?
yes

Are there artifacts similar similar to the one we found?
: Yes, there are many that we know of. Lots of them are even stranger than this one. Studying them has increased our knowledge of the eldritchs greatly.

What a shame.

so what we are dealing with here is the ring in impossible box form
all we need to do is find an impossible volcano
