Key to the Universe

Mikesh Bassett, an asteroid miner, found a coffin sized box of dark metal that he thought could be a Celtest artifact. Inside there was a machine like contraption. It looked truly alien, but had button like controls and several spherical discs that glowed with a dark blue light. There was writing as well. He shows it to Black Velvet, then gives it to her as “maybe it will be useful to a pirate”. All he requested was a few visuals of her with Mikesh and his digger

When Black Velvet touches the central light of the disk, a bluish glowing disk of about 20 centimeters across, a loud voice and not psionic but real tells her: "I am the Key to the Universe. Many thousand gates can be opened with me. The Gates and I have been created to unite many to defeat you, Dark Lord and those who come in thy name! I am the Key to the Universe, there are many like me. The Traveller came to this Star Island and made gates here and I was given to the Dominants so the gates may be used."I am the Key to the Universe and when I am near a Gate I can open it. Travelers may pass through to reach other Star Islands. What is unreachable becomes reachable."

It also tells her it can show her the way to the gates.

Narth and Shea and we are both convinced it is neither Seenian nor Pree or Uni.
