Keys of Aala'rak

: Tom Thompson: "Artifacts?"
: Bernard Henderson: "Of a kind. They are keys, each one imbued with a message from your father. He entrusted me with his secrets."
: ―Tom Thompson and Bernard Henderson on the Aala'rak Keys.
The Keys of Aala'rak, also referred to as the seals or keys of Michael Thompson, were a collection of six Aala'rak Memory Seals containing information and memories from the father of Tom Thompson, Michael Thompson whom found the Memory Seals empty in an Aala'rak Tomb in 1976.
The keys was said by some to "grant access to unlimited power", however this was false. When brought together, the keys would grant access to a holographic memory of Michael Thompson himself. 
The keys were created by the Aala'rak hundreds of thousands of years ago. They were then left with a deceased Aala'rak in a tomb on Earth.
== History ==
=== The discovery ===
The empty artefacts were first discovered by Michael Thompson in the Aala'rak Tomb in 1976. He retrieved these artefacts and hid them, keeping them secret from everyone except Bernard Henderson and Sam Mitchell.
Michael's research discovered that the seals contained messages, though he did not know to whom they were intended. The seals spoke to Michael and told him that he would have a son in the future but he would not know of his past. He would later imbue the six seals with his own memories and information for his future son, Tom Thompson.
In 2002, Michael had finished creating five out of six Memory Seals. He had his son Tom Thompson but realised that his son did not need to know about his past because of the end of the war and the imprisonment of Asolas, so he hid five out of six of the seals in five Aala'rak Tombs across the galaxy. He kept the empty sixth seal and in 2004, he started to work on the sixth Memory Seal until he was murdered by Asolas. Bernard Henderson took the sixth seal and hid it with him.
=== Tom Thompson's acquisition ===
In early 2007, Tom Thompson, son of the former owner of the keys, was given the first key by Bernard Henderson and learned of the existence of the keys. Curious and driven by a desire to obtain answers about his father, Tom Thompson joined the Lux Republic and searched for the other five keys.
