When this item is in the Player characters inventory it can be activated, initiating the following exchange

*(When your eyes focus on the beads resembling fiery stars aligned around its mouth-like organ, new concepts stream into your psyche. It's as if the entity is striving to commmunicate with you through your own inner voice.)*

(Respond to its attempts)

*(Queer particles of light flit through the beads and suggestions soar through your mind)* I was conceived to compensate for the imperfections of your existence, stranger. *(You can feel the transference of energy in your hand)*

(Continue)

*(You feel that you are being probed)* You're different from the race for whom I was wrought to serve. Such simplicity. You are an entertaining beast.

(Continue)

*(Now your mind is as good as excavated and you feel that this time the entity is specifically probing your mind instead. Then the voice which is yours, but not really, speaks.)*

(Continue)

I am the one who knows. The entire time-space data of this moon was recorded into me. *(You feel a warmth inside your skull)* You are a frightened animal. You're alone in this vast land. Do you wish to learn?

(Allow the entity to continue)

The race I serve learns by living through the experiences of others. *(Immediately afterwards, images assail your mind as if you're warped)*

(Continue)

*(You find yourself on an utterly different sensory plane, in a body completely alien to you. The stimuli flooding your senses grow in insufferable proportions. You fly cumbersomely over a fungi covered planet.)*

(Continue)

*(You're certain this is the same planet where you're stranded. You pass over wild fungal flora, prodigious craters, and Cyclopean structures whose architectural angles remain uninterpretable to men.)*

(Continue)

*(These lands are alien to you, but familiar to the entity in whose memories you are voyaging. If you can seize command over its advanced organs and senses you may gather more information about the planet.)*
