Ixad sector of the Ring, Mmeng system, planet Mmeng IV. Eberhardt's Hideout - station orbiting it. A really big conglomerate of Anarchist habitats.
They had it in one of peripheral modules. Jury-rigged emitter, powered by solar panels. But these panels were useless, almost constantly hidden in the station's shadow. Yet, the contraption was always online.
It was a holographic device, adorned with trinkets and paper flowers and small dolls. Lit by candles. Yes, real ones. They didn't care about the fire hazard that could consume the entire Hideout. The Hand was too important to them.
The device displayed a severed female hand. And its fist was clenched. It could hold something in it. I believe it held something.
Have you heard the story of Samtharn?
