Object
Modified Human Artifact Transport Cylinder
A tall cylindrical metal vessel serving as a concealed stowaways' transport disguised as carnival equipment. Features include a half-globe glass dome soldered to its top (partially frosted in some instances), gunmetal surface etched with red warning stripes or calibration markings, reinforced seams with crude welds, and combat plating around the latch mechanism. Vorg and Shirna handle it with exaggerated care, their gloved interactions underscoring its true purpose as a modified tool inconsistent with port regulations. The vessel's design allows shielding of internal components (frosted dome) while triggering inspection protocol breakdowns due to non-standard appearance.
