Recently a few appliances and other devices have appeared using crystal power sources. I'm aiming to study these crystals to see if it might be possible to adapt them for other uses, but I need to start by studying the devices they currently power to see how their energy is being harnessed. Then I can build some means of testing power output and so on. Given there's no spectrographs or other specialized equipment here, I'll be getting creative.

If anyone would be to willing to allow me to study the devices in your home, I'd be most appreciative. I promise not to attempt any modifications. I may have centuries of experience with technology but I'm not so foolish to start making changes without fully understanding what I'm looking at first. However, if you're willing to donate one of these devices to allow me to completely deconstruct it for further study, I'd be most appreciative.

I understand that likely something will be expected of me in return. I am willing to trade what I can.

I located this object in a particularly run-down part of the city the other day. I believe it might be some sort of carafe or jug? It has a crystal on the bottom, but I cannot guess to its function.

[ There's something inherently... familiar about this. Something about the way this is presented, the familiarity with technology, that reminds Samus of the Chozo. Of course, she knows this isn't a Chozo. The name doesn't sound Chozo, and she can clearly see his picture on the back of the journal. But all the same: ]

I'd like to assist, if possible.

That is really amazing. I have never encountered an appliance that runs on crystals before. I actually found this inside my treehouse earlier this morning.
