The [[Skeleton Key (Artifact)|Skeleton Key]] is a relatively sophisticated piece of Eliksni technology from the period immediately preceding the [[Whirlwind]]. The Key was built to interface with a surprising array of tech (via an adaptable resonance-matching behavior reminiscent of some known [[Golden Age]] systems), making it invaluable to Eliksni pirates and other spacefaring ne'er-do-wells. With some optimization, it could even be used to enhance certain pieces of armor and weapons of Eliksni manufacture.

The item in question was repeatedly removed from secure [[Vanguard]] premises by Mr. D—, who was later witnessed using the Skeleton Key to interface with several mechanisms in the Annex, including a discontinued power generator, a deciphering core, and several appliances used in the preparation of food.
