Thank god for that. Stars can get too unstable, I can't even imagine the kind of shift in a system it would be to just go around either renewing them or blowing them up.

[ Actually Bruce almost can imagine it, and it's definitely not pretty. ]

Anyway, can I... [ He gestures at the box in Nihlus's hands. ]

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Well, it IS the next level of advancement on the Yulias Scale.

[He means Kardashev scale, but like a lot of things in a universe culturally dominated by Asari, it tends to be named after blue space women.

At the gesture, Nihlus seems to suddenly remember he's carrying the box.].

Ah, yes!

[He hands it over, explaining,] I got samples of both the refined and unrefined whale minerals.

[And sure enough, inside are four vials, labelled with as such.]

[hyperkinesia]

Never heard of that.

[ The other one, though, that he has. For now he turns his attention to the box, accepting it from Nihlus, and making his way over to an empty counter nearby so he can carefully open it and take a look inside. ]

Useful. Thanks. [ Neat and organized, despite Bruce's personal views on the matter. ] Do you mind leaving them here for a little while? I won't use them up or anything like that.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Scale for measuring technological capability? I think there's a Terran term for it, but it slips my mind at the moment.

[Either way, he's inclining his head in agreement.]

I don't mind at all. Hopefully it'll be another layer of defense for the Cetans. At the very least, it'll be a source of money that isn't dependent on the Captains.

[He's got backup in case something went awry at any rate.]

[hyperkinesia]

Oh. Kardashev Scale. Got it.

[ And well, it might be the next level of advancement for Nihlus, but not for Bruce. Still. Interesting to find similar concepts that simply have different names. ]

Alright, thanks. I'll start by looking into their composition, then go from there. I'll keep you posted too, and you're free to come by anytime.

[ Like Bruce said, no promises, but he also isn't going to go so far as to destroy these samples either. Worst case scenario he'll end up refusing to help— but he might find a way to do so that doesn't go against whatever morals he has with regards to this topic. ]

Thread wrap? Also, sorry for the lateness!

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Thank you.

[Nihlus' tone is quiet and sincere.]

If you need any help, just message me.

Sounds good! And no worries :)

[hyperkinesia]

I will, don't worry. Thanks.

[ He offers a small smile and a nod, waiting until Nihlus leaves to start looking into those crystals right away. ]
