Parasite (Part 1)

As the analysis progress reached completion, the new element's appearance came clearly into view. From the outside, it looked like a rather artificial object, roughly two to three centimeters in diameter. Rounded at the bottom and pointed at the top, it resembled a biological heart.

Ronan's luck was actually pretty good today. The body of knowledge related
