Ending (mayor spoilers, obviously)
Second Aristh:
The lift crystal was the faceted one. I expect the core crystal to be the "house" of the Predator's consciousness, since that's the crystal that's been there all along.

Agreed, the other crystals on a ship are secondary to the main power one. I just meant that the faceting and more advanced techniques of creating lift crystals shortens the time it takes for a crystal to gain a soul, as it were.
But thinking about it, how does a ship with multiple power crystals function as a single sentient being?
fish321:
If they are sentient it's entirely possible that the power crystals do not gain in personality because of age but are instead crystallized forms of....something. however you look at it if this world were earth 20000 years from now perhaps some gods of the dresden verse hid parts of themselves in crystals when they saw what was coming, perhaps 20000 years post Alera we are seeing what became of furies, perhaps predator was a great fury, or maybe Artemis or Sekmet while mistshark was a dark god and the Itasca power core came from the three graces or furies. If they are sentient they could even work well together or not so much depending on who they are. I'm just inverting what yall are saying somewhat, the age of the crystal doesn't effect the personality so much as the personality is what chooses to create the crystal. We have seen that bits of human souls can be broken away into books so why not natural or godlike powers putting pieces of themselves into the power crystals, maybe they even cut a deal to do so.
Mith:
I am hesitant to call this a future of either the DV or Codex Alera. The best connection that I can see would be that the Vord show up at some point.

I don't see it as the world of Alera, but the Enemy - particularly with Cavendish being a "puppet" - seems somewhat Vordlike. could this be TDF Earth thousands of years in the future, with whatever happens in the BAT altering the atmosphere enough and magic evolving into etherealists? possibly, but i don't think Mr. Butcher would canon-weld everything together.
