Warp Core

The Warp Core was a sentient, unstoppable superweapon made of mental energy made to fight the Krill.

Biography
The Warp Core was created by the inhabitants of Duchamp 331 to protect their planet from the Krill. After destroying its own creators, it fled through time into the mind of Edvard Munch, who would end up painting the Scream, which contained the Warp Core. At one point in time, attempted to steal it, but its power destroyed his old body, reducing him to his previous decayed form.

After several centuries, the Scream was relocated to Duchamp 331, where the Warp Core began to influence Damien Pierson's mind into founding an art gallery on the planet, allowing it to absorb their minds and eventually free itself. Having returned to it's home planet, it also tormented the inhabitants of the world through telekinetic control of the planet's dust, at one point killing Guthire's old friend. It would be awoken fully after detecting Krill in the vicinity, who were brought by the Master. (AUDIO: Dust Breeding)
