it really just becomes more fantasy the more sides there are. a cube will be some sort of ultraprocessor that makes faster than light travel possible, but an octahedron? that can't be a processor, it's not square enough. an octahedron will float in between two beams of light and glow mysterious sigils, its function is like the cube but more magical because it's not bound by squareness.
[ID: Tweet from @/rifflexielian: If people are fighting for an orb you are reading fantasy. If people are fighting for a cube you are reading sci-fi. If it has more sides than that. I don't know. I don't know man. /end ID]
