What is this object?

Universal Business Adapter.

The inside of a car-dashboard compass, the type where the little ball “floats” in liquid. But the outer covering of the ball has been peeled off. ?

Its the Galaxy. A cat named Orion dropped it. Do NOT give it to a loose skinned guy acting like a bug. Look for a talking dog or 2 guys always wearing dark shades.

Smell it.

Remind you of anything? Or anyone?

Good guess, bradwalt; that’s what I was thinking.
