Profile Number: 021
Curio Designation: Astro Rod
Remarks: Only as a collection item. Research application is forbidden.
Curio Profile: A tool invented by Herta researchers to explore the geological structure of alien planets. Mainly made of the 108th elemental metal from a deceased planet. Its body emits a glowing blue radiance, appearing as if the user is holding nothing. The sensor at the end points to where the user came from and guides them on the way back. No matter how hard the geological structure of the planet is, just gently insert the Astro Rod into the surface of the planet, and it can analyze a great deal of geological data. It is a sacred object in the eyes of those researchers who are fascinated with the study of planetology.

Researcher Notes:
The Astro Rod. I've heard of it even before stepping foot in the space station, and now I finally can see it in its physical form!
— Wen Shiling, Department of Implement Arts
An Astro Rod is said to be the gift that best represents someone's love. An Astro Rod can point her in the direction she desires, and can tell her my feelings for her...

Profile Number: 056
Curio Designation: Light of The Stars (Defunct)
Remarks: The Curio has been damaged during the invasion of Antimatter Legion. Do not submit research applications.
Curio Profile: A tiny, pristine, and well-decorated box. The container itself is clean and flawless, and it has nine mini drawers on each of its four faces (not including the top and the bottom faces). Within each drawer is a luminescent crystal that corresponds to a color on the starlight spectrum. Currently only contains parts of its original pieces as the Curio is yet to be fully restored.

Researcher Notes:
I'm so upset! Only two studies before it's my turn, and the Legion destroyed it!
— Emily, Department of Insight
Why does the Department of Insight like studying this thing so much? For all I care, you all are the reason that it's defunct!

Profile Number: 148
Curio Designation: Crackup Conch
Remarks: Do not expose to water.
Curio Profile: A polished conch, covered in a pattern of planetary rings. Hold it to your ear to hear distant jokes told in the conch. As long as you can hold back from laughing, you can slowly obtain the power offered by the being within the conch. Those who try to gain power in this way will eventually die in a depression of unmatched intensity. Legend says three previous users are still alive and living in seclusion.
Related Studies:* Due to outdated research data, the Crackup Conch will be reconditioned in the near future. All related papers are currently disabled. Please stay tuned.

Researcher Notes:
Thank you, magical conch. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do when I feel down.
— Mare, Department of Insight
What is wrong with this thing? Why does it keep trash talking me? My blood pressure is through the roof. Just how is it de-stressing?
— Wen Shiqi, Department of Implement Arts
Let's just change its name and call it Crackup Conch (Corrupted). @Lead Researcher Asta, when will this be updated?
— Joanne, Medical Department
