* NotOfThisEarth: The meteorite is made of an unknown superheavy element with several bizarre properties. Visually, it resembles a deep red metal. Its atomic number is unknown but eventually determined to be over 400. It is 190 times denser than water, nearly nine times denser than any other element, and it has a fractal crystal structure, making it far harder than diamond. It is a room-temperature superconductor and is as unreactive as a noble gas [[spoiler:except with salt water]]. Its properties are so alien that it’s immediately recognizable as being an extrasolar object.

He appears in the aforementioned book alive and well, and only paraplegic for his troubles]].
