If it's an open field, it probably won't.

@Host

Also true. Now I'm unsure. Maybe I should set up some extra search parameters for places that might have a civilisation but also wouldn't generate much chaos.

@Balance

I think you have a fine margin of error.

@Host

What do you mean by "fine"? It'd be easy to err?

@Balance

As in, it's fine. No big deal.

@Host

Ah, okay. I'll work on it and see what I can find. But we haven't exhausted this place yet, I'm sure.

@Balance

Probably not. I bet there's a lot more.

*Raises my hand*
-Speaker- Yes?
-You said this is an element. What's its atomic number?
-Speaker- To call it an "element" is a misnomer in the traditional sense. In fact, it does not appear to be made of atoms at all. Instead, it is composed of what we tentatively call "quorons": tangible bundles of philotes with mostly unknown properties. How these bundles hold energy, how they are created, and how Quolium is assembled are all unknown to us.
-Bystander- You mentioned its extraction rate. Does this shrink the element at all? If so, are you being responsible with the element so that it can be studied more thoroughly?
-Speaker- It shrinks upon extracting energy. But we have noticed its growth in several circumstances; the common theme is something we are piecing together. When it grows, it does not gain energy; energy must be imparted to it. It readily absorbs any energy given to it with minimal loss.

*Whispers*
So... it's just a battery?

@DarkwolfX37

*Whispers back* A really good one, I guess.
-Another Man- We've heard rumours that this element is potentially volatile. Have you taken any measures to protect other floors from a potential failure?
-Speaker- All possible precautions have been taken to ensure that any explosion consistent with the level of energy measured in this sample of Quolium cannot harm any layers other than the restricted layers above and below this one. Rest assured; we are always looking for signs of volatility and have established protocols for evacuation. Now, close interaction with the substance has proved safe. Shortly, we will enter the chamber as part of an experiment on the growth of the element. While we prepare the circumstances, please feel free to inquire with our scientists.
-*Steps away and waves after me for you to follow; gets to an emptier area and whispers* Perfect. I can get in with the Quolium. All we need is a distraction.

It'll be good to find out.

@Balance

Sure. So why choose this place?

@Host

It was sprawling, is all. It seemed more firmly established than most of the others.

I can do that! Um... do something loud when you want me to!

What do you mean?

Do you require something, Mr Dynamo?

Yes. We have something to discuss.

Zero:
I figured as such.

*waits a second, as a holo screen in front of me both pops up and disapears almost instantly*

My people wont require my assistance for a maximum of 2 hours. What is it that you need?

*Does the same, resulting in a match*
I was concerned for a moment.
