The only thing I'm certain of is that it doesn't react to the BCE. And even that's up in the air.
[ Because there could be something he's missing. Some kind of command or otherwise. He's about 90% sure it isn't compatible though and doesn't want to waste time trying to brute force it in that manner. ]

[ Ok, that he wasn't expecting. Arthur glances down at the innocuous seeming scarab, brows knitting together briefly. If it does react, well, the Regency has some fucked up taste. ]
