When technicians opened this first geoid, they discovered small thin plates of an odd black metal covered on both sides by minute characters. But the key to the mystery of the symbols etched so deeply into these strange metal plates was difficult to analyze. All this caused quite a stir in the scientific community, leaving more questions than answers. Shoot ahead now three hundred years into the future, and after centuries of searching, forty more of the elusive geoids had been unearthed. Scientists had now deciphered enough of the records to know they contained details of the history and the eventual death of the Eosian universe. Furthermore, it also contained a message of the utmost importancea message vital for the survival of the human race! EB; 9.1 X 6.6 X 1.1 inches.
