ISIS within Nathaniel's room: "Very little data has been collected on the crystals embedded in your arm, a large amount of my knowledge is through extrapolation of any current data, data on other space craft of alien origin but not of a similar design, and some guess work. I believe that the crystals in your arm are from both the propulsion system and sensory equipment of the craft you came into contact with. Their close proximity to your nervous system may allow it to act like wiring to control the crystals, like an on or off switch. However neither crystal has its own power source, even the blue ones I believe to be from the propulsion system. Imagine they are the engine without a fuel tank. To this extent they seem able to draw on your own bodies adenosine triphosphate, more commonly known as ATP, in an attempt to power themselves and function. This leads to your need for a high calorie intake, the stones are literal sapping energy from your body.<br/>Unfortunately it would appear the crystals have the need to vent their energy. In the spacecraft this would be done through simple use of the flight systems or sensory array, but as you do not possess the ability or energy to keep the crystals active indefinitely the energy builds up, like charging a battery. The blue crystals can also not be used to aid movement by my best guesswork. In the craft they would have had the energy output directionalized, allowing it to overcome the gravitational forces generated. On you there is no such directionalization. The easiest example is the different between an explosion and a jet engine. An explosion goes in every direction, a jet engine is focused so all of the thrust goes in one direction, providing a moving force.<br/>Nuclear devices are the equivalent of the use of sharpened sticks in a war compared with assault rifles playing the metaphor of these crystals. They are simply not understood as they are hundreds, if not thousand of years of technological advancement ahead of the human race. Even so, I do not suggest cutting off your own arm with a knife, you would struggle when you reached bone."<br/><br/>ISIS within the entrance hall: "Very well mr. De la Cruz, I shall remove all furniture from your room and place it in storage. I will also install the blast shutter of the window rather than removing it, should you change my mind. I shall leave a key in your room but will control the locking mechanism when you ask me too. Please do not enter your room for the next three minutes and eighteen seconds while I complete these tasks."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
