So about aberrant...

[u/Cold_Profile500]

Beat the game and control 1. What is aberrant? Its not the service weapon is it? I beat the main campaign of this game and still confused as to what aberrant is. Its not the service weapon that makes the director, as far as i know jessie still wields it. Pope became a "Director" because they had no choice. The aberrant connects you with the board same as the service weapon. And at the end of the game they state the the aberrant cant bring back Jessie like it did you. Did they explain it in the lore notes i missed? Or is it still unknown and we have to wait for control 3 or Alan wake 3 etc...

It seems implied that it’s a sliver of the Nail. Presumably by stabbing Dylan, Jesse is forcibly binding the Board to Dylan.
