Thrawn can't help but be reminded of the bullying he got at the Academy on Coruscant, where he was ostracized for being an alien and from outside the core region. Thrawn took it in stride, since he knew that any retaliation would be futile, but Glenn was just a child when he was being bullied.

He looks at the artifact, then back at Glenn. "That is what I am trying to figure out. It is very old and has a strange power. I thought it merely a time piece, but now I believe it is more than that. I would not recommend touching it until I figure out what it is and how it works."

Lest Glenn turns into an infant or an old man.
