Garrett made a slight nod towards Biermann as he left the room, then turned to Walcott. "Yes, this is [i]the[/i] trident. At least, as far as we know. From what I understand, centuries ago, people found a way to contain it inside an orb. This orb, after all this time at the bottom of the ocean, has begun to crack apart, allowing the power from it to seep out and affect the world around it. The incidents involving it that I have researched have shown the orb to have exactly the same powers as the trident, and all descriptions match historical documents. We can only assume we are dealing with the real deal here. My only concern is whether this truly is a supernatural device, or a piece of ancient technology that is beyond our understanding."

Garrett paused for a moment to let everyone take in what he said, then spoke again. "Dr. Osamu, make sure your drones scan for electromagnetic radiation. From what little we have learned about the orb's properties, it definitely has a lot of energy contained in it." Garrett then addressed everyone else. "I don't have to remind you all that the trident is one of the most powerful artifacts in Earth's history, but I will. It's that dangerous."

He quickly changed his tone. "So, anymore questions? I'd like to get out of here as soon as possible."
