Artifact: Philotes Device (Communior)
-Light silver backing; its core is a five pointed gem with the appearance of a reflective prism in photo-negative is embedded in the center; embedded in the host's neck with 33 spike anchors.
-The Device is currently bonded with Kelle, giving us valuable insight into its function; this far, she has been able to telepathically communicate with other Champions at will; she has also received imagery from the minds of those she interacts with, seeming to be flashes of their current or past perspective. Finally, she has been able to, while dreaming, astrally project her consciousness into the minds of others, entering their dreams and inducing a lucid state; she seems to be able to further bring those she encounters into other subconsciousnesses (myself excluded, likely due in some form to the psychological and mechanical alterations that have been made to my brain). It further appears that, depending on the willingness of the dream she enters, she is capable of manifesting highly detailed objects and scenarios—these manifestations grow strange in nature, however, approaching certain topics, such as Fort Orpheon. When approaching the location in her dream, she was apparently stopped and opposed by a vision of Anvephone Traquiel in the guise of an Astartes.
-Anvephone's notes indicate that the original purpose of the device was to allow for a melding of mind and body, creating a bridge from soul to soul. She hypothesizes that this was meant to enhance communication, and that assuming control over soldiers may even have been possible. This implies that Solomon's use of the device, engaged with heretical technological interfaces to transfer vitality and illness between two subjects, was not its intended purpose.
-Kelle received a psychic transmission of schematics for a Vigil Device; those equipped with the device share an enhanced connection to the Ambassador, and she is capable of transferring energetic resources between those in the network.
-The device was originally fused with the psyker Solomon, recovered during the Thor Vitality Transference Investigation; similar but not identical appearance to the Nemesis Device predicated an assumption of its function and ability, which has since been dismissed. The Device has since been removed from subject physically and metaphysically bond appears to remain, in the latter form through exposure to the Null Singularity.
