| “ | With outside noise brought to a minimum, it took little effort to detect a very distinct signal... the source our shard's "hum." While we have a number of theories, both the Research and Engineering teams seem to be in agreement... the shard itself is acting as some form of communications relay. | ” |
– Dr. Vahlen, research report extract | ||
