[ Jesse is ready to tell Julian that it's just the altered items that were having a problem, but- she honestly doesn't know for sure. And hearing about a race of beings that do essentially what the Hiss was is chilling. She frowns. ]

Doesn't sound too different, no. At least with the Hiss, we seem to have a 'counter-resonance' of a sort. Just no way to spread that, yet.

[ It was definitely a work in progress.

Jesse was trying to find the similarities and differences in where they came from, too. So far, it might be the same timeline/world/whatever, but their times were very off. She might as well be from the middle ages compared to him. At least that explains the interesting medical gadgets.

Hearing about the wars is sad, but not at all surprising. But hearing about these Bajoran Orbs is fascinating. The apology gets a shake of her head and a gesture to please continue. ]

These orbs sound similar to our Altered Items- or actually, more like the Objects of Power. Those are the ones people can bind with, and they all have different things they can do. The floppy disk was one, and this- [ She holds up the strange gun. ] This one's another. The thing is, these properties seem to attach to...ah...icons. Items people think of as culturally important, right? If our entire planet had one religion, I wonder if they'd attach to something like the Orbs.

[ She hums, deep in thought. ]

Maybe us being here has something to do with our contact with these like items...
