Conflicting accounts

On its origin:

  • It came from space.
  • A scientist created it.
  • It is a password of a mining company.

On its nature and effects:

  • A synthetic food that grants powers to whoever eats it, though not permanently.
  • A hallucinogen “able to connect with the divine”.
  • A luxury August Roman bathes in (the weakest rumor).
  • Synthesized as a drug, it kills the consumer and must not be ingested; it can gain consciousness in the consumer’s tissue and make them lose human form.
  • One voice denies it is living at all: a cybernetic entity of circuits and electronic components.

In Torreluces, code names do exactly this work of holding several things at once.
