The Specimen is a fragment of an unknown species. Its structure is distinctly exoskeletal, with pronounced ridges and elongated facial features, indicative of a protective or adaptive function. Ossified technological apparatus embedded within the bone suggest that the civilization this entity belonged to was highly advanced. Surface markings point to either degradation from exposure to extreme environmental conditions or a form of ritualistic scarring.
The narrow slits for ocular and respiratory functions imply the entity required minimal sensory input, potentially adapted for high-altitude or low-visibility environments.
This specimen’s age and origin remain unconfirmed. It was retrieved during Cycle 8, Phase 5, and despite further exploratory probes sent to the same sector (γ147-σ392), no additional specimens or clues were found.
