Alkahest, as it was named by Clovis Bray I, is a substance produced by exposing Vex radiolarian fluid to the paracausal influence of the Darkness. It is an essential component in creating Exos.
Overview[edit]
Being derived from Vex mind fluid, Alkahest has similarly versatile computational properties but lacks the virulence of raw radiolarian fluid.[1] As a result of its alteration by the Darkness, it also has paracausal "anti-structural" properties, which allow it to disrupt the "loop/billboard/crash" cycle that plagued early exominds.[1] Its presence in every Exo's cognitive hardware also causes Exos to be inherently sensitive to paracausal influence, such as messages from the Darkness.[citation needed]
Trivia[edit]
- Alkahest is a hypothetical "universal solvent" once believed to exist by alchemists in the 16th century.
Appearance[edit]
- Destiny 2: Beyond Light (First mentioned)
References[edit]
- ^ a b Mysterious Logbook, "Entry 8"
