Summary
Vincent Tallor is an in-universe writer credited with *Ancient Engineers* (2298 AV), remembered for reflecting on the mystery and unrealized potential of nova cells. His words help frame nova cells as a lingering technological mystery rather than a merely practical resource. *1
Nova cells. Sources of infinite energy. When a charge is depleted, it takes years to recharge; but it will recharge. We have experimented with burying nova cells so they have no outside stimulus, and yet, somehow, they still recharge. I am convinced that our rudimentary use of these marvelous artifacts is nothing compared to what the Vanished would have used them for.
