Object
Silicon Rod Tool
A slender laboratory tool made of matte-black silicon, its surface etched with fine calibration markings along its three-inch length. The rod tapers to a blunt, rounded tip that Tyler uses to handle x-ray plates without smudging, while its wider base fits neatly into the palm for precise manipulation. Glints of residual metal dust cling to its edges, residue from repeated use in cosmic ray experiments. The instrument’s unassuming appearance belies its role in documenting anomalies that precede antimatter entities, its presence marking the threshold between verifiable science and catastrophic unknown.

Purpose
Handling and manipulating x-ray plates to avoid contamination during cosmic radiation analysis, ensuring precise documentation of inter-dimensional energy signatures.
Significance
Becomes the final physical object Tyler interacts with before vanishing, its handled plate serving as the conduit for the antimatter entity’s arrival. Represents the fragile boundary between UNIT’s scientific protocol and the unfathomable threat emerging from the breach.
