Shift Change (part 1 of 4)
07/07/2205 A.D.
Operative complex “Yellow Comet”, Viridian Coves, Earth
4:02 pm GMT
„Please confirm your identity, employee #412276” Maya blinked and stared at the prompt in confusion. She had been working on an optimized DNA sequencing chain and had, as usual, switched into full concentration mode. This included all-round sensory filters and a barrage of “Do Not Disturb” flags. They were generally respected, so nothing short of a physical emergency would break her flow. Or had the necessary permissions to do so.
Annoyed at the interruption, she brought the prompt into focus and verbalized: “Yes, it’s me. Alright?! Let me go back…” She struggled to keep her recent calculations in mind. The prompt refused to go away. The ubiquitous voice of the corporate AI persisted: “Voice recognition positive. Please submit your personal passphrase for final verification.”

Solution to our Polygon-Riddle
3 Polygons are obviously not enough.
Fans of Douglas Adams were incorrect despite the cosmic significance of the number 42; however, this fits the galaxy theme perfectly.
2205 is an amazing number but still not enough. :)

Come and take a guess!
☛ How many polygones does this new "object" have?
We will have more information to the upcoming update soon.
