Alien Skull X-ray Light Box

A backlit display box holding the translucent x-ray of the alien skull, its neural relay pattern glowing in sharp pentagram relief against the dark bone structure. The glass pane is mounted on a metallic stand about 15 inches wide, its internal illumination casting subtle shadows that emphasize the skull’s unnatural symmetry. Fendelman and Colby crowd around it, pointing at the neural features, while Thea later turns it on before Stael’s ambush traps her in its clinical glow.
