"Putting yourself in danger won't help. You're not even eighteen, are you? I'm sure you're a great trainer, but Cress law enforcement is top notch. We train for exactly this kind of situation, not for sport, and we have the legal authority to use force on human targets. Already you seem taken with thoughts of revenge - that can land you in sticky legal trouble, lots of paperwork, nothing fun. Just leave it to the pros."

"Hm, if the crystal won't work without you, maybe we could deputize you as a special consultant. Can we try it first though?"

She does have a point.  Civilians aren't authorized to attack human targets unless it's in self defense.

Nathan sighs. "...Heart, just let it rest for a minute, okay?"

Nathan reluctantly hands the crystal to the officer so she can try it herself (and if she takes it, Nathan's gonna want a receipt so he can get it back! Or compensated if it's lost or broken or whatever...).  "...it might work.  Might not.  I'm not sure.  I'm still learning about what exactly it's supposed to do.  It's probably reasonable to assume that there are functions only someone with the right bloodlines are able to use, though.  The straps attached to the plate seem to indicate that it was worn by whichever of Sarimanok's soldiers used to own it.  It's probably very, very valuable, so please don't break it."
