Powerful, "magic"

"Borrows" a talisman/disc from Secret Clan crates, and is "encouraged" to tell Nathan he is "studying" it. Plays important part in COASA series.

It turned out it was some kind of talisman, likely originating on the planet itself from the crude scans we could do with the onboard material analysis at the time. From ancient times, date unknown.

It turns out that this talisman had certain… magical properties. All things have a power to them. A property, like entropy. Or temperature,” Arlene explained. “Some objects, or places, or people, have more of this power than others. . Some places have a ground energy, too, meaning that it is easier to manifest certain things in that place than others. Estaria has a slightly higher power than most planets, and that’s why they have such a high incidence of their ancestors having been able to ascend and realm-walk.”

And sometimes objects have so much power that someone who is attuned can pull energy from it, and use it to move things around in this realm. Move things around? Like telekinesis?”Yes and no. I was talking more about making things happen, or transmuting matter or energy into one form of another.”Your brain emits certain frequencies, depending on the thoughts you think. But for those who have total control and awareness of the frequencies they have, they can use this to resonate with, and affect, matter in the physical world.”

When we started putting all this data together I (Giles) started wondering if there were other talismans, like the one I’d found on the ship. And the six sections on it looked awfully like constellations as seen from areas like Earth, Estaria and the original planet of the Zhyn Empire - Zhyn.” That, together with the uncanny DNA similarities between the Estarians and the Zhyn made me wonder if there weren’t some other association between them. So, while I was in prison that other captive we rescued shared with me a nursery rhyme about the Moons of Orn. It got me wondering if that was where the Zhyn talisman might be hiding, and when Arlene checked the constellations on the talisman - taking into account the 100,000-year lag time - it looked like that could very well have been the constellations looking from the Moons of Orn, back into space as seen from Earth, in the Pan Galaxy, pointing back in the direction of this spot.”

“You mean these two sets of regressed constellations both point to the same area of space, as viewed from these points?” Yes. So, Arlene and I were pretty sure that our next stop should be the Moons of Orn.

Just goes to show how much he (Nathan) thinks this talisman might be a threat to the Federation
