Memory Control Cube

This is a part of Dahy's World universe. (see the collection here)
This is an inhabitant of the Tyro planet. (see the collection here)

On the planet, Tyro, there lies a rare creature that is able to fragment itself into smaller cubes once destroyed to save possible chances of keeping memory data. These creatures store thousands of trnbytes in both DNA and in the means of electronics. Once destroyed; this creature will attempt to upload as much data as possible on the transverser dataweb.

Data is what prevents any other races other than the transversers from taking control... especially on the rebellious planet of Tyro.
