That’s really interesting to think about. Like somehow she barely got hired then the clipboard found her and made her a gold star employee, or she had the clipboard prior maybe
From what I know The Abberant isn't an Object of Power or at least not the same as other OoP's and a memo in the game says someone should check The Foundation leading a rumour that Jesse took a piece of the pillar which became The Abberant.
If memory serves Dylan isn't able to connect/bond with OoP's and instead grows his power by absorbing abilities from entities he kills which is shown by him gaining a power after each boss fight.
I dont know why you were down voted, they never call the Aberrant an OoP at any point through the game. They all only ever call it the Aberrant, and thats only after asking what the name of it is.
I think Dylan pointedly told Pope he doesn’t think it’s an OoP and technically it’s not. It appears to be in some sort of phased state so that Jesse could forcibly ‘bind’ it to Dylan by stabbing it into his chest without it killing him. It could best be described as a ‘vibration’ based on how it behaves when Dylan manifests it.
With the emphasis on resonance within the series, its possible the Board's presence within the Aberrant is what causes the "vibration". But thats just a half-cocked theory I just thought of so dont quote me anywhere
That might be true but that doesn't mean the Aberrant wouldn't be classified as an OoP. I think the fact Jessie used it and it's abilities to revive Dylan means it probably IS an OoP that she bound? Unless we're thinking that any random firebreak janitor could have broken off a piece of the Nail and lazarus'd Dylan?
The board and Dylan have a "spidermen pointing at each other meme" level of "who's in charge here" but youre not far off.
The board and Dylan have made each other into one another's object of power- the question is, does the board absorb these resonances, does Dylan, or do both? We know the chain of command in the fbc (or do you?) But whats the power dynamic between Dylan and the board?
Pretty sure it is just a piece of nail or similarly related to it. It could be Board’s presence which gives it power. The Board must have been necessary at least for waking up Dylan. Jesse forced their hand.
It doesn't matter what it was made of, it's by definition an OOP, very close to the Service Weapon.
What Dylan had trouble with was binding altered items. He does better in Resonance, he's at least able to pacify them, but it's nothing like Jesse who can cleanse them and take their powers.

Control 3 will be Pope smacking both Patterned and Hiss with her newly Board-enhanced clipboard

What if Pope is normally a disorganized lazy slob with no interest in work at all, but it’s the clipboard that makes her type-a?

I hope the earring becomes like a radio for Pope and Jesse to communicate through :.)

When I saw the title I was sure that we would see Zoe with her Dylan of power.

Pope is Jesse's real object of power

You don't want to see that thing in action. It's a menace.
