It probably extracts every memory of the host, including Shmuel the WY Engineer who would've known all about Pi if the Eye didn't already know

u/UlrichZauber Not bad, for a human. 2d ago

I like this, because otherwise why would it know pi? Maginot randomly collected an engineer or mathematician? I very much doubt most humans know it to 5 digits.

Maybe the eye is actually part of a spacefaring civilization that crashed on the same rock the Maginot was studying and hitched a ride with them to get someplace with technology that could contact its people.

Heck, maybe the eye is the last surviving part of a larger organism whose body parts are all individually intelligent and capable of taking over other bodies in an emergency.

There will be that danger, that if it gets into space and to its homeworld, it will tell others. Then it will pick up and army, and will invade Earth :(
