The Edritch Hypercube
By Simon Kewin

v06-1_Cover_text.png

“The cube you found on Spica IV; we’ve found another one. Although this one is … different.”

​

The voice from the exploratory vessel Sense of Wonder came through to Tami Edritch in her lab on Earth. She had the jet-black cube in front of her. She’d studied it for years, probing it with every tool at her disposal. It remained inscrutable – apart from those few gravitational fluctuations when its mass unaccountably altered. Became, if the readings were to be trusted, briefly infinite. Which was obviously impossible. Normally, it was a couple of kilogrammes of stone, no apparent internal structure but with swirling etchings on its surfaces. It was ancient, that much she knew. It had been recovered from Founder ruins on Spica IV, the stratification dating it to a million years old.

​

“Different how?” she asked.

​

There was something like amusement in the voice over the metaspace comms tunnel. “This one … it’s a little bigger.”

​

“How much bigger?”

​

“Let’s just say I think we’re going to have trouble bringing it to Earth. You might need to come out here.”
