I'm Still Wondering About the BoM?

So, am I just missing something really obvious, or is it known why the Bands were in the state they were in, in TLM?

No, we don't know at all. There were a lot of theories, like Adawathwyn, the Ferring who picked the Bands first, actually did something to them, switched them, leeched them with A-chromium, or suppressed them, to make them empty. She might have worked with Ghostbloods and switched them when she picked them up (this might be connected with Kel traveling from the Malwish during TLM). Or the ambassador Daal did something, suppressed them with a Primer Cube of aluminum or something. Or maybe there is a Kandra working for Malwish and they stole the Bands earlier, and gave them to Daal - we know literally nothing more than there was in the book. Both Daal and Adawathwyn were behaving very suspiciously, and Daal seemed to expect the Bands to be empty. There are also no WoBs about this.

Ok thanks. It's one of those things that I was really confused about and expected to come back to later, but had forgotten. It just popped into my head today, so I wanted to check.
