[ Angel nods along to herself as she reads. This all sounds plausible. Sound. It makes sense.
And some parts of it itch at the back of her brain with their familiarity. So much so that she reads it again, twice, before things finally click into place. ]

[ An entity. A power source. A gateway. What if it's all three?
What if it's a Vault. ]
You are a genius and I love you. Is there precedent for this where you come from? Because there is on Pandora!! There are things where I come from called Vaults (capitalization intended) They're like - hidden alien treasure caches, as far as the legends go? But that's a vast oversimplification All they have in common is that they contain great power (sometimes in the form of riches, sometimes knowledge, sometimes power in a more literal sense), and they are watched over by a guardian. They also have some kind of innate connection to Sirens! Which could be why - and how - my powers got taken?
