The Storm is an Obesk device which allows communication between Obesk and human devices by converting corru signals into electrical impulses and vice versa.
Akizet regards this device with remorse, calling it "[Her] single greatest error."[1] This device can be viewed in the Cache, and Moth comments that it may have been involved with a "shady project" that Akizet was involved in with the FBX.[2]
Presumably, this is the device Akizet proposed to Gordon after their meeting in The Room High Up. She offers to give the device to him if he can keep things quiet and assist her in her personal investigation regarding the mysterious cyst. He initially denies the exchange, stating that he needs to confirm that it can stay confidential. However, it is implied the deal eventually occurred; Akizet and Gordon's phone call during the Collapse reveals that FBX higher-ups went broke confidentiality and sent a probe someplace.[3] This deeply frightens and panics Akizet, as this exchange may be the reason the Collapse began or was the conduit that set the events in motion.[4]
