Appearance
The Synapse is a colossal, pale, stern severed head. From its empty sockets, hundreds and hundreds of animated blood vessels and nerves surge and writhe in an unsettling harmony, tangling and crossing. Most of the time, they idly graze and grasp whatever they can latch onto – the air, the rocks of the lunar landscape or the occasional visitor. Sometimes, though, they curve and tangle themselves in such a way that they form a few broken lines of cursive text ; a few poetry rhymes, fragments of equation, or directives for his scions.
