Eyes Of Petrification

XENOARTIFACT REPORT Evaluator: Tech-Sergeant Elliot Item: XA-1899


 * Description Summary: Item is about 15cm wide, about 5cm tall and about 12cm long; like most wearable xenoartifacts the item will change sizes depending on the individual trying to put the artifact on. This item resembles a pair of antique spectacles (see attached images).


 * Investigation Summary: After inspecting the item visually and donning body armor, Pvt. Gomes placed the item on my face, hooking the ends over my ears. I felt no change or xeno affects, and Pvt. Gomes began a detailed inspection of both myself and the item to see if the item caused any outward physiological changes.


 * Upon moving in front of me, Pvt. Gomes began an inspection of my face and eyes when without warning he suddenly turned to stone. As a dangerous artifact the item has been moved back to storage. All attempts to change Pvt. Gomes back with the item have failed and I have had the statue moved to Medical while we wait for Chaplain Medve to return from his current mission; perhaps he will be able to help Pvt. Gomes again.
