"Is the Holy Grail useless before the constellations align correctly?"
"And no matter where it is, during the next Flesh and Bone Triangle Ceremony, it will be directly summoned from the void... even as a collectible, it barely holds any value..."
Understanding this, he also realized why the Federation regarded the Holy Grail with disdain.
