CTHULHU disc: The Noctuary of Time
Plural: CTHULHU discs: The Noctuary of Time
This disc was made by SQUID's corporate rival, CTHULHU. Which means this disc is Cyclopean Technology for HUman Learning and Heuristic Uplinks. It sounds like a bunch of corporate jibber-jabber, and it probably is.

You're not entirely sure what this disc is all about, but it seems to deal with time travel and the paradoxes it can cause. You don't know why a tiny caveman was carrying it, but you're more worried about the tattered label that says "use at own risk."
