      But he won’t tell us what spot. That would be giving too much away.

      It’s very lucky they don’t use European or British of the other dozen or so types of plug that exist globally.

        That IS a British connector though, isn’t it? That’s not North American.

          No, British are rectangular pins. Thinking on it I think I may have seen them in specialist use for theatre lighting.

          So I take it back, they’ve chosen a bit of an obscure plug. That or it really is 👽👽👽👾

            Yes, it’s identified as an XLR professional audio connector elsewhere in this thread.

        You’d think they’re want at least a level 2 charging rock, though. 110v is going to take years. Silly aliens, they should know better.

      To be fair, if we’re reverse engineering from alien tech, that’s likely what we would use as well.

      Not that it’s likely in the first place.

      It’s an adapter for human 3-pins round connector to a standard rock-socket system.

    Okay, nobody else has said anything but what’s really bugging me is this. Why does the rock have the male connector? It’s not even flush with the surface, it’s embedded slightly recessed. Attaching a cord with a female connector would be a much bigger annoyance than if they were switched around.

      It’s an early CPU and those are the pins. Three pins, clearly a very prototype Transistor :D
