Cyberon (Cyberon is Back!!)
One Cyberon was one of those intercepted over Gantifreet on behalf of a human businessman in the far future.
It became the subject of a "Creature Feature party", dissected alive in front of an audience of 48 guests as a demonstration of Cyberon anatomy and so that the Cyberon drug could be extracted from its veins, allowing the guests to safely micro-dose on the highly illegal nootropic. The process, leaving it drained of Cyberon, meant that it regained individuality and emotions, as well as losing its weakness to gold. Freeing itself from its shackles, the wounded Cyberon, now thinking in dream-like verse, exacted vengeance on its tormentors before attempting to transmaterialise back to Aurichall.
However, due to no longer containiing any Cyberon fluid, it was rejected by its home planet's sensors. Stuck in the "inbetween-maelstrom" of teleportation, it frantically attempted to conform by shedding its organic mass, becoming simply a hollow shell of Cyberon armour retaining a shattered sense of self. This was not enough, and it instead rematerialised on 24 September 2020 in Derby, (PROSE: The Blue Scream of Death [+]Loading...["The Blue Scream of Death (short story)"]) in an alleyway near some bins, now literally hollow. (PROSE: The Blue Scream of Death [+]Loading...["The Blue Scream of Death (short story)"], WC: Cyberon is Back!! [+]Loading...["Cyberon is Back!! (webcast)"]) It fled into a nearby forest where it finally deactivated, driven mad by the knowledge of its hollowness and purposelessness. After P.R.O.B.E.'s Operation World Salad detected and decoded its dying distress call, they recovered most of its body, noting how it seemed empty of organic parts or of the dangerous Cyberon drug.
They initially did not find its head, (PROSE: The Blue Scream of Death [+]Loading...["The Blue Scream of Death (short story)"]) but by 4 April 2021, it was in Giles's possession, (HOMEVID: The Only Cure [+]Loading...["The Only Cure (home video)"]) with him placing it on the Dr Smith shelf.

CASE FILES - TRAILER (webcast)"]) One account showed it already being there by June 2019. (WC: Varunastra [+]Loading...["Varunastra (webcast)"]) An image of it appeared amidst other paraphernalia in a video message left by Sir Andrew Williams to Giles on the Peternatural Research Bureau Online Database, in which Sir Andrew reviewed past video diary case files left on the P.R.O.B.E. log by Giles.

On 8 May 2021, another image of the Dr Smith shelf which appeared in one of Giles's case files showed peculiar, glowing green tendrils connecting Box to the head and to the half-empty vial of the Cyberon fluid. (HOMEVID: Ex-President [+]Loading...["Ex-President (home video)"])
