Hey, chill. Nyars is a lottery. You never know what you'll get. Besides, all the items gotten from Nyars have been useful in some way, even if they're really dangerous to use.

GWG, that thing's an alien power source. Try getting a lightbulb and some wires. Poke the thing with the wires and see if you can get the lightbulb to light up. If you can harness the electricity in it then it will be a near infinite power source.

The pyramid was controlled via Will. Maybe this is similar. Aliens are known for their hate for putting buttons and/or instructions on devices.

Also, living crystal = crystalline projector.

I'm actually considering buying that alien power source in case it's the same as back then. Though Milno snagged it during the first mission, my intentions are far from making a keychain out of it to hang it on my suit's belt as a nostalgic trinket. In case there's a good way to harness that thing's energy, I think it's in fact one of the most efficient - and less likely to kill you - artifacts. At the very least I bet it's far more powerful than any 5 token generator you could buy.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Go find 'Team B' and join them as I am the lonely post-human unpicked for the teams.
Weren't you assigned and going to Team C?

That's the thing. I'm not seeing any use for the device at the moment. None. Zip. Nada. It's neat, but it's a complete waste of basically everything I have.

GWG, that thing's an alien power source. Try getting a lightbulb and some wires. Poke the thing with the wires and see if you can get the lightbulb to light up. If you can harness the electricity in it then it will be a near infinite power source.
That's the thing. If I can...well, great. But wouldn't that be something they should have, you know, mentioned?
And one infinite power source isn't terribly useful, because it can really only power one thing.

I'm sure there's some use for the damn thing, but hell if I can think of anything that might recoup the cost.

Wrong. Electricity can be split. You could power many things with it at the same time.
And saying the device doesn't have any use is inaccurate. It has multiple uses. Hallucination attack, possible power source. It just doesn't have any you like. If you really want, you could even sell it to Milno for tokens.

If it's all in the same suit, or the same base, or the same ship, you're basically just powering the suit/base/ship.

As to the first use: Barely any use, high probability of backfire, and no way in Hell is Grate either going to throw his valuable (and expensive) alien artifact at someone or enter melee range.
As to the second: What would Grate have to power, and how could he tap it?

I don't see Thomas attached to a team on the wikia. Am I mistaken, or what?

She's worn it constantly since she got it.  It's saved her ass several times- I wouldn't sell it either.  (Note- she got fullbotted before she got it.)
