Compression Module

3
A container that holds more than it should.
Used by Kanni, Created by Bidlink.
(This Artifact does not need to appear obviously Alien, although it will be apparent when storing or withdrawing impossibly large items.)

Nanite's compress the atomic structure of the container and everything inside into a smaller area, due to the strain this has on the nanite's, it causes purple lines to surround the compressed object and glow brightly.


Your Artifact has a normal storage capacity, but can be collapsed down to a pocket-sized version without losing any internal storage. You cannot access the contents while it is collapsed. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in this Artifact. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Artifact in the process.

If this Artifact is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of this container appear normal and unremarkable.

  • A container of holding cannot be placed inside another created by the same Gift.
  • There is no cost to use this container.
