Lancers willing to pilot 'PYRE' enter into an agreement with its onboard NHP- all genetic backups are destroyed and the user enters their final existence. Upon death you will live on through the actions of your successor, adorning their breast and joining them in glory.

The devotional ‘candles’ to accompany the shrine are an addition by pilot #23. They serve dual purposes as psychological countermeasures and core heat ventilation.

'The Monymusk Reliquary', The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh

This is one of the most important early Christian objects to survive in Scotland.

Made in the 8th century CE, nothing more is known about it until it was first recorded as being at Monymusk House, Aberdeenshire in 1859. Initial interpretations argued that it was a reliquary of St Columba called the 'Breac Beannach'.

Medieval texts speak of the 'Breac Beannach' being carried into battle to protect the Scottish army. Exactly what this object was is unclear, but its Old Gaelic name 'brecc bennach' translates as 'the glittering peaked one'. 'Peaked' was sometimes used figuratively for the gable of a house. However there is no proven link between St Columba and this unique casket.

já tak chápu výběr objektů v tomhle Švankmajerově relikviáři, šitíčko ve mně taky vzbuzuje erotické i thanatické pocity

I love a reliquary. They’re so weird and creepy, and I especially enjoy when they’re telling me to peace out. Thank you, Saint Louis of Toulouse, I will. 

[ID: A saint’s reliquary, consisting of a wide gold base supporting a long tube flanked by gold and silver rims, crowned with a hand which is making a two-fingered “blessing” gesture but which sure does look like it’s flashing the peace sign.]
