living stone

Exploration Stage: Crystal Mine
From: Vera
Description: It's interesting that this ore, which can manipulate humans, can be altered to suit individual organisms. In a way, I suppose you could say it's "alive." Yes, let's try a simple experiment. Can you go find some red-hot cinders?
Completed: This cinder is still hot. I'm going to try to chip away some of the ore and move it closer to the cinders... look, look! It's gone from solid to liquid. And it's moving away from the cinders little by little...it's alive after all!
