It Leaves

Suddenly, it is gone. The being has disappeared completely, leaving only the device behind. The storm around us has lessened to the point where it may be safely navigated, though the sheer scale of the cosmic destruction left behind is staggering. With the entity gone, we felt confident enough to approach the device. The material it is made of cannot be splintered or fractured away with any known equipment. However, there are a few external apparatuses magnetically attached to its outer casing, each spinning at an extremely high velocity. One in particular was loose, and though the return conditions are likely to be cramped, we were able to load it inside of our vessel for further study. No matter which surface it is resting on, this apparatus will spin with great speed to the point where its center of gravity and momentum easily keeps it upright. We can detect no interior power source, and believe this may be a startling example of true perpetual motion.
