It just exists as a fluff excuse as to how you get cloned offsite if you don't get cloned at CC, if you want an alternative. The little lore behind it is that it notifies an offsite agency if you die so you can get cloned by them. It has a little paper in the carrying case explaining that.
It's a uniform accessory, or you can just pocket it. They are unmarked, so finding a broken one shouldn't be very interesting evidence or influence much outside just the fluff idea of their existence.
(Also, it's a crystal, but no it's not magic. The manual goes into detail about the power source, transmitter, etc.)

* Naming inconsistencies fixed
The short naming of central command has been really inconsistent across
the game's files. This has always annoyed the shit out of me.
CentComm and Centcomm and Centcom are now all CentCom, specifically with
that capitalization. Why one M instead of two M's? Because Comm with two
'M's = Communications. Hence, Telecomms, NOT Telecoms. Telecoms is
incorrect. CentCom was also chosen because CentCom with one M and this
casing is most found throughout the game's files.
Speaking of Telecomms, I corrected one instance in the game where it's
Telecom. Like I said, this is not correct. There was only one
inconsistency.
Likewise, Nanotrasen has been changed to NanoTrasen. Nanotrasen only
appears 20 times, where NanoTrasen appears 62. NanoTrasen is clearly the
preferred, correct naming.

Adds new sound output, with two types so far. One being the 'beeper' type, which can do things like buzz, ping, beep, etc. The second type is a securitron speaker, which allows us to get closer to building a functioning Beepsky.
* Adds EPv2 Circuit
Adds a circuit that allows it to send and receive EPv2 messages, allowing for a more robust transmission of data that signalers cannot deliver. Bonus: Communicators can send text messages to custom machines using this.
* Updates changelog
* Fixes not being able to put things in medkits.
* Technomancer Tweaks
Cost for various spells and equipment adjusted greatly. In general, things are cheaper, and everything should now be in multiples of 25, so no points are wasted.
The default jumpsuit for Technomancers is now heavily insulated, protecting them from tasers, batons, and perhaps unfortunate lightning strikes.
Instability between 31 and 50 made less harsh.
Wards made with a scepter of enhancement will break the cloak of anyone invisible that it can see.
Fire aura buffed, increased rate of heating as well as temperature cap for both non-scepter and scepter effects.

* Use sanitizeName for the guest pass terminal name input to prevent excessively long names.
* Circuit UI and Assembly Tweaks
Adds new drone assembly, which has stats between the medium and large assembly. Sprites by Mechoid.
Assemblies now have a light UI when examined while opened, which displays what's inside, as well as how close to the cap for parts or complexity you are getting. Click the names of a component to open the wiring interface for that component. You can also rename each component from the UI. Bonus: Having multiple components of the same name will no longer appear as one component.
Adds ability to rename the assembly, using the new UI.

Projectile spells now have a sound when fired.
Haste lasts five seconds instead of three.
Repel Missiles lasts for five minutes instead of two.

Emitters don't explode if they are not on a powered wire with sufficient electricity in it. They will just crumple away instead if integrity is reduced to zero.
Taking any damage to the emitter no longer results in instant death due to me being an idiot awhile ago.
Emitters can be examined to see if they are damaged, and can be repaired by applying metal sheets to it.

* Resolves#331
Client Login() now calls ..() before setting up preferences, ensuring a mob has actually been assigned. Fixes#12560 (and probably other somehow subtle sanitation issues).
The alien whitelist now checks the rights of the supplied mob, not usr.
When granting xeno loadout gear the mob's current species must match the gear's whiteliste species.
Cyborgs have their minimum be equal to their species' minimum, and maximum be their species maximum plus twenty years.
Posibrains have a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 220, as discussed by EmperorJon.
Digital brains (drones) have a minimum of 1 and maximum of 150, as discussed by Spookerton.

* Adds Evening Gloves
* makes evening gloves a subtype of gloves
* makes evening gloves a subtype of gloves
* updates path in loadout
* updates loadout path
No mechanical changes come of this change, only the ability to have an antagonist faction, as well as having specified visbility for the affiliation itself.
Also adds Skrell home system to the home system list.
* The /datum/category_item/player_setup_item datums did a good job of organizing the code for loading/saving/editing preferences data, but all of the code that applies preferences to newly created player mobs was still in a single function.
* This change adds a new proc to player_setup_item datums: copy_to_mob() which is called from the traditional copy_to() proc, allowing each preferences datum to apply its own character data to the mob.
* This allowes new preferences to easily compartmentalize their new code.
* I also moved all the code for existing preferences from copy_to() into the copy_to_mob() on their respective preferences datums.
Adds variants of ID cards for each department and head, and adds several new colors of wallet. The wallets self-color the little ID in the corner based on the ID inserted so they always show the right picture of the ID, without needing to sprite each ID. Some are snowflaked, notably Gold and Centcom, but the rest are generated on the fly based on colors on the ID.
Someone didn't read the comment in text.dm helpers, I see. This text is sanitized 2 lines above. Don't do it twice, nothing changed.
