He rubbed his forehead upon seeing the 'bird' and nodded. "I am guessing the gems and gold were added at some point and were not part of the initial design? And may I handle it?"<br/><br/>It might have been, actually, adding 'shinies' to ensure sentients recognized it as 'valuable,' and take it with them, though he would have been more worried about damage to the tablet as the valuables were taken off. He carefully picked up the tablet, and then sat down, back against the pedestal it had been on, tablet on his knees, easily ignoring several pounds of gold filigree. He then brought out his PDA, and set it beside the tablet, before carefully flipping the tablet over, and examining the entire tablet. He was mostly interested in detachable panels, seeing if it had an external jack, so he could plug the PDA into it directly, and temporarily give it energy that way.
