Puzzling Polygon

Console: event distar.270

Description

The … crew has recovered the reflective polygonal object near …, bringing it onboard for detailed study. The object's most intriguing quality is its ability to reflect most types of low-frequency energy beams directed toward it. High-frequency energy beams, however, remain unaffected, making the object's properties useless with regards to any potential fleet defense applications.

Despite extensive examination, the … research team has been unable to determine the function, or origin, of this peculiar polygon. It appears to be hollow, but its metalloid surface is engraved with some kind of scientific notation. Though the full meaning of this codified data eludes us, … believes it relates to wormhole metrics.

Our research team was able to glean some fascinating insights into wormhole theory by studying these notations. Whatever purpose this object was created for, however, is still a mystery.
