<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I was asked to hit things.

@Heroic

Hitting things is useful.
*The light in the orbs fade, revealing tiny fragments of a crystal in one, an oscillating chunk in another, and an empty sphere in another, surrounded by a dozen other experiments in various stages*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*had been listening the whole time*

If I had recalled, you had asked If I could secure more amaranthine. She may be able to aid in that endeavor, should we need more samples.

@souleaterfan320

More samples would allow these tests to scale. However, I’ve made useful progress thus far.

@Legend Begins

Glad you agree.
*Glances over each of them for a few seconds each, not fully understanding what I’m looking at*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It’s quite an adventure in store, that’s for sure. What happens if you try to attack it? You said you can’t touch it conventionally, but there are parts here that you could definitely attack and do damage to.

@Valiance

Here, the environment will get you. On most of them, it doesn’t care, and a few will make it angry.

@Legend Begins

*smiles* I like the sound of that. What have we learned?

@Artifact

It can get angry despite being in a slumber?

@souleaterfan320

This sample appears to be able to remove itself from reality entirely. Initially the substance was unrecoverable, but tweaking the variables enabled later fragments to rematerialize after a short timer expired.

@Valiance

It can. Its emotions are usually short-lasting, but you don’t want to be caught in them.

@Legend Begins

They can control that I think. Consciously. The people with Amaranthine in them.

@Artifact

Experience in that too, huh?

@Heroic

I see. With additional effort, we may be able to replicate its effects.

@Valiance

I tried to visit its heart once. That nearly woke it up.

@Artifact

You have its anatomy mapped and correlated to a real living thing’s?

@Valiance

I’m not some expert on what this thing is, but if anything is a heart, it’s whatever I found.

@Artifact

What was it?

[Artifact]

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

What was it?

@Valiance

All I could see were crystalline threads connecting scales much worse than these. They all seemed to point toward some central thing, but there were far too many to make out what it was.

@Legend Begins

Oh? Alright. This is very good information. Thank you for your efforts, data. Is there any additional info at this time?

@souleaterfan320

Nothing at this time. If you'd like to demo any of the effects, let me know.

@Legend Begins

To what end?

[Legend Begins]

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

To what end?

@Heroic

That would be a question for Shinji. My objective is simply to research this phenomena.

@Artifact

Baffling. I wonder if it’s so aware that it knows we’re here now and just doesn’t care.
