Artifact: Nemesis Device (Redressor)

-Xenotech artifact resembling a crystalline 33 pointed star, with a clear, opalescent gem at its core; currently integrated into the hand of Specialist Quint (at time of acquisition, still Quinten Cutter). Recovered during the Lava Tube Xenotechnological Incident. 

-The Device has incredible powers of healing, biological manipulation, and purging of corruption (particularly that of a plaguelike nature). Quint himself is now capable of sustaining and recovering completely from fatal damage to his body; this includes regeneration of limbs and organs. He also cannot have his biological form/appearance altered by other means, including elective surgery.

-These observations hold with the research obtained from Anvephone Traquiel's personal logs, which indicate the ability to heal, resurrect and cleanse. It is also indicate that the core gem will darken in the presence of corruption.

-After having been subject to the healing abilities of the Device, the subject will have microscopic inert particles in their blood and bone marrow. These particles do not seem contagious in any form. Similar, but not identical particles, have been found in the bone marrow of the victims of exsanguination found in the Underhive Vampire Investigation—we have since learned that this is due to the bonding of a modified Vigil Device.

-If a subject of healing has been touched by corruption, becoming target by the Device will result in immediate and violent purging of chaos from the body, and seemingly the soul as well, prior to any physical restoration. This can be painful and cause long term damage, up to and including death, as observed in the Purge of Bluehull-92.

-Ownership of the Device seems to have designated Quint as a form of "Champion" (specifically, of the First Order, as he has only bonded with one Asterii Device); he seems to have gained a connection to the Cinquefoils and their relationship with reality.

-The Device appears to have limitations; Quint's analysis of Fex's condition was that he would be unable to heal the hiver without sacrificing a portion of his soul. In addition, it would appear that the Device does not identify True Flesh that was not created by the Asterii as part of the body, and attempts to expel such augmentations. It is unknown whether its frame of reference can be updated.

-King Quinque has a bonded Redressor.

-Lazarus experienced a dream in which a presence similar to Redressor guided him in mastering the device's ability to purge and purify. Whether this information was a training protocol from with the device or a connection to another, external point remains unknown.

When posed Questions/Commands via psychic communication using the Nemesis Device, yielded the following answers:

"Location?"—Limb 3; it is possible that this is not coincidental, and the Redressor is considered the third in the series of Asterii Devices, similar to how Condemnor is the Fifth.

"Purpose?"—Redressor

"Comrades?"—2 Identifiers given; second identified as Solomon and the Philotes Device, marked with a Pentagon. Second entry unrecognized, and has an X marker.

"Enemies?"—Specify

"Sickness?"—Opened a disease database, cannot be translated with clarity, only in broad senses.
