This is Deltar's only possession besides his "cloaking device." It's a small clear green cube (about the size of a die), which is partially covered by electronic circutry. Deltar got it from the lab, and he thinks it's a communicator that he can use to contact his home planet, as well as a data storage device. In truth, it is merely a data storage device.

Solar Cycle 26 of the Twelfth Earth Month
I have recently found a safe haven for . . . for what, I'm not quite sure. They deny being from anywhere besides earth, but I wonder about some of them. Particularly the winged, striped one.
I have travelled far from the facility that held me captive, and this is the first time I've had time to record these events. I was taken during a peaceful exploratory mission to this planet, when my family was forced to leave without me. They only had a limited amount of food and fuel, you see. I was taken captive, in an attempt by the humans to thwart a supposed "invasion" of earth by the Cambrians. I was held for four earth orbits around the sun, when I was able to escape. It was night, and one of the humans took pity on me and released me. I was able to retrieve the communicator and data storage device that the scientists had taken from me when they captured me. I set off, and travelled far in search of a habitable location. Then, by chance, I came upon a dwelling I believed to be abandoned, and the people there allowed me to stay. Today, I have finally moved into my own dwelling space, since I am beginning to doubt that my family is ever coming back for me. Oh, how I miss my sister, but I am sure she has not forgotten me.
Entry terminated."
