Curiosity got the better of Alaric late one rainy Tuesday evening. He placed the object under a high-intensity ultraviolet lamp to study the microscopic etchings. The moment the light hit the surface, the cube hummed to life.
As the code scrolled, it began to translate itself, tapping into the laboratory's computer databases and deciphering the English language at an exponential rate. Within minutes, text began to form in the air.
Alaric sat back in his chair as the sun rose over the city. He realized that holding this object was holding the memory of an entire species that time had completely forgotten.

Yet, its perfectly geometric edges and microscopic, etched circuit lines proved it was an advanced piece of technology. ⚡ The Awakening
