Think they captured Sil, altered his memories...then had Sil use the memory ability with his massive MC potential to alter everyone's memories?
"The universe works in mysterious ways, and I beleive it works this way so one thing can't overpower another. If someone did have the power to change memories, and wished to do so on this ship, I find it hard to believe that they would be able to do so all at once."
Seeing them, Quinn was tempted to pick them up, just find out what these things could do. After all, it was something beyond what he could imagine. Never did he think in his life he would be holding something like this.
