Steatite Ampules, also known as Urns or Vases, were cylindrical enclosures designed by the
Engineers to establish and maintain the controlled environment necessary to store
Chemical A0-3959X.91 - 15. Within the Ampules, the
A0-3959X.91 - 15 was contained by four conical-shaped glass vials, or phials. This was to ensure the agent's ability to retain infectivity and virulence after a prolonged period of storage.
Chemical A0-3959X.91 - 15, also known as
Agent A0-3959X.91 - 15 and referred to colloquially as the
"black goo" or
"black liquid", is an extremely potent and virulent mutagenic pathogen, composed of millions of small micro-organisms, that was manufactured by the
Engineers as a biological weapon, presumably for military purposes. Due to its volatile nature at ambient temperature, the
Engineers housed the pathogen within Steatite Ampules.
This is one of the vials stored inside the Ampule that David opens aboard the USCSS Prometheus.The sealed liquid has dried over the time as is common in this type of props. The black goo remains at the bottom.
