Dr. Kandregon was not pleased.
They had given his studies only 5 grams and had not placed his base of operation in Alaska or at a pol.
They had send him into a desert.
They knew that out here his experiments could go deadly wrong.
They knew that and still had send him here.
They knew he would first have to increase the specimens mass.
Dr. Kandregon got into his hazard suit.
It was hot in the thing beyond reason, but what can you do if your base of operation are three tents, and two jeeps. The higher ups were just not interested in his work and just wanted to get him out of there facility.
Alchemy is dead, ha. We have living rock that breaks atoms and understands patterns.
This thing is like the philosophers stone and they use it to break into vaults.
He went into the tent with the generator and one last time checked his equipment.
This was it. If he could teach the thing to eat mercury and pump out gold, all while gaining mass, than they would have no other choice then to finally make him a beta.
They had ignored his genius for to long.
He had requested silver and they gave him mercury.
They were mocking him and his ideas.
"Its just a nice way to get to thinks." they said.
"You cant teach rocks" they said.
It's the same thing as with the Foundation all over again.
The Foundation was not happy about him taming a snake made out of rust, not impressed at his work with the sentient metal cube or his accomplishments in the containment of the sugar dragon.
They had hired him for his old projects with dead rock, psychology and chemistry, but then they wanted to terminate him and his work.
The Chaos Insurgency got him out before they could drug him with their legendary amnesic agents.
He thought someone had seen genius, but no. They just wanted Foundation information.
They were even about to terminate him after he had gladly given them all they wanted,
but then one of them noticed that he indeed was highly qualified and well suited for the Insurgency.
Than they introduced him to the molecular corrosion stone and he knew what he had found.
First they had great hopes in his work, but then they lost faith in him, but he would show them.
Dr. Kandregon opened his refrigerator and poured the sample into the cooling device of his design.
The metal sphere which stood upon three metal rods was his way of dealing with metal that didn't wanted to stay were it was supposed to be.
The sphere was cooled down to -11 grad Celsius and only the middle of the sphere would reach the temperature required for the activation of the stones properties.
The stone partly started collapsing and reformed.
On the bottom of the sphere it looked like a small puddle of liquid metal.
Dr. Kandregon went down to his knees and lifted a hand full of sand over the sphere and poured the sand throw the small hole in the top.
The stone did what was expected of him and started dissolving the sand.
Good, the first step was made.
He went down again and this time filled the sphere up with sand and closed the entrance of with the metal plug, which would be cooled to save temperatures in no time.
He went into the second part of the tend where his two assistant disinfected his suit.
The stone would take some time dissolving the sand and from outside there was not much to see.
He got out of his suit and the well acclimated tent was almost a bit to cold for him, but everything was better than the heat outside or in that suit.
He went into the provisional office and started writing the letter to the higher ups in which he voiced his concerns about a test in a hot environment.
They were properly aware of this and were running a test on there own to see how much damage 5 grams of the stone could do if feed well.
He heard the vehicles start and driving away.
With a jump he was up running behind the fast leaving jeeps.
They really did it.
His two assistance had just left him in a desert.
The Insurgency had fired him.
In shock he noticed that the generator was not on anymore.
He ran into the testing tent and placed his hand on the sphere.
Still cold, he breath a sigh of relief.
The thing was still contained.
He went to the generator to see if he could reactivate it, but the generator had taken a hit with some explosives.
Kandregon heard the bursting of metal.
Seams like the sphere was not cold enough.
He ran back to the test, grabbing a liquid nitrogen container on the way.
The bottom of the sphere was gone and the rock was currently eating throw the table.
As Kandregon started purring the content of the container on the stone he saw that it was not nitrogen. By the smell of it it was some kind of alcohol.
The stone dropped to the ground and stared to spread out.
Kandragon ran out of the tent and hazily stared putting on his hazard suit.
He could still get out of this alive.
The only thing he needed to do was wait somewhere save until the stone had eaten itself into the ground.
Then he saw the tent collapsing.
It just sank into the giant puddle of liquid metal that was covering the ground.
That thing dose eat faster in the warm sun light, he thought.
Kandragon ran as fast as he could in his suit.
The puddle was expending and it was expanding fast.
The sand was swallowed by metal and the high sand mountains Kandregon had just ran over were swallowed into the large metal sea.
Kandragon turned around. He was done for. He would prefer to be dissolved by one of his tests then to die of a heatstroke or from the thirst.
The metal sea was at least 2000 square meters large.
He would attempt communication with the stone one last time.
"I am Kandragon. I have released you. Please don't eat me."
During the last sentence he realized how stupid this was, he closed his eyes ready to be dissolved.
The stone had never done what he had told him to do.
Nothing happened. Kandragon opened one eye again.
To Kandragons surprise the sea had stopped expanding right before him.
Before him laid a metal boulder 8 cubic meters in size and round.
A perfect metal sphere.
Than the thing collapsed into a giant drop of liquid metal.
It locked like a normal water drop, just big and metallic.
Then the structure became hard.
Kendragon extended a hand to touch the surface.
Before his fingers could reach the metal it exploded into fine powder covering Kandragons suit entirely.
Addendum: Two minutes later the mobile unit "Feasting-Stone" recovered 1600 kilograms of the molecular corrosion stone.
The experiment in item multiplication is declared a success.
The experiment on usage as a weapon is declared a success.
The experiment on usage as a finance gathering tool gets discontinued.
Deployment of the item to be used in in missions to attack cities is authorized.
Photograph of Item |

Item: | The Snake Jug |
Size: | Length: 25.4 cm Width: 17.8 cm Weight: 2.7 kg. |
Required wear/weaponry: | Type A HAZMAT suits required upon entering 3 meter radius hazard zone |
Location: | Missing |
Reported anomaly: | Mercury Chemical Converter |
Usage
The item was used to commercial Mercury production.
The location of discovery suggested this as it's primary use.
Item was housed within a 5 meter minimum radius containment chamber located at Base Four. The Item's hazard zone, measuring 3 meters in diameter, should be clearly labeled on the floor. The temperature of the holding room should be kept at a steady temperature of 28°C, but the item has shown resistance to temperatures above boiling point and freezing point of mercury. Silver lined, steel reinforced, type A HAZMAT suits are required upon usage. HAZMAT suits are to be checked for ruptures before and after entering the containment chamber.
Due to the extremely toxic chemical compounds released from this item, access is to be restricted to usage for Gamma-Class designated officers and below, with given permission from at least one (1) Beta-Class administrator. Upon entering a 1.5 meter radius hazard zone, type A HAZMAT suits are Ineffective for protection.
The item is only to be moved with remote controlled robots or entity able to handle the items effect if in close proximity.
The Item's usage was restricted to clearing out enemy bases, test areas, facilities, ect.
The Item had close to no permitted applications because of the high risks involved.
The Item was a target of POI-5, how attempted to acquire the item multiple times, sometimes against direct orders from Alpha-command.
Damage, loss or destruction of the object and/or any samples obtained from it will result in immediate termination unless this action is overdone by the Alpha-Class administrator originally giving the given unit/officer access.
Report
Item is a salt glazed Snake Jug similar to decor objects used in was used in AD 68. Object was discovered within a family shrine in Pompeii, on February 6th, 1962. According to an EPA report, the archaeologists of the house the shrine belonged to had checked themselves into a local medical facility, exhibiting signs of mercury poisoning. After EPA testing failed to find a source for the supposed mercury poisoning, CI-Item Acquisition Operatives sent a recon squad to investigate. Item was located within a shrine buried under layers of rock, along with several other items. All other items, although seemingly harmless, were seized.
Object's anomalous effects appear depending on the surrounding temperature.
As long as the mercury in the jug is liquid the item will convert liquids into mercury.
If the mercury inside the jug is solid the item will convert solids, except itself, and liquids into liquid mercury.
If the mercury inside the jug is a gas the jug will convert solids, except itself, liquids and gases into liquid mercury.
Attempts to empty the jug completely have failed do to cleaning difficulties, as the empty jug reacts in the same way as when its filled with mercury in gas form.
The liquid created by the item, after having been subjected to a battery of chemical tests, was revealed to be pure mercury. Trace amounts of mercuric were also found on item itself.
The chemical compound formed by this item, is toxic and dangerous to handle.
Any liquid entering a radius of 1.5 meters of item are found to rapidly turn into pure mercury. Liquid that is outside of this 1.5 meter zone have been found to have a slower conversion rate. Furthermore, when a biological entity comes within 1.5 meters of it, any bodily fluids will be converted into mercury near instantly.
Beyond 5 meters of the item is the conversion slow enough to be neglected.
Test logs show the conversion begins slowly and subtly. Within the first few moments of exposure, subjects will report a burning sensation throughout their body, starting from open wounds and orifices. Subjects report feeling heaviness in their limbs. Once the conversion process speeds up, however, it accelerates at a rapid pace. Test Subject-95783 was reported to have imploded, pulling violently toward open orifices. Clean-up crews were immediately notified. Autopsies have suggest that almost all expired subjects died due to asphyxiation, as mercury is incapable of carrying oxygen in the blood stream. The brains, livers, and kidneys of the subjects were also highly corroded.
Some subjects almost completely liquefied.
To ease clean up a outflow was installed.

Notes from the shrine (rough translation):
"God gave us a gift. A gift to make us rich. Save a god, never work again. As cheep waters becomes gold. A gift for all of us. Even if he hated mortals he gave us a gift. No snake will come into this home as long as it has mercury in it."
The entity responsible for the creation of the object could not be determined.

[[/div]]
Usage:
Monetary
A quantity of exactly 10 grams of chilled item substrain-1 is to be given access to an amount X of waste material. The item is than to be observed with the expectation for the Item to turn all the waste material into a valuable substance. Candidates include Gold, Titanium, Osmium, Plutonium. When working with Plutonium additional steps must be taken to comply with Radioactivity and Poison Guideline P-2.
After the item is finished with converting the waste material it is to be instructed to return to a single space at least 1 meter away from the converted material. It is than to be instructed to return its own mass to 10 grams. The weight of converted material must be exactly X and the amount of item exactly 10 gram before the item is to be frozen for repackaging.
The converted material is than to be commanded to self destruct for 10 minutes by at least 7 operatives.
Field Decomposition/Construction
The item substrain-2 is to be used as a fast acting decomposition agent in both inorganic and organic substances. The item has as of now proven capable at dissolving and converting all types of matter with an atomic structure and no anomalous properties. This is used during fieldwork to open heavenly fortified areas or create underground tunnels and fortifications.
Complex construction (experimental)
The item is theoretically capable of perfectly recreating an item that was dissolved in it. The item substrain-3 has shown itself capable of replicating guns, ammunition and simple devices, but has yet to replicate microprocessors, living tissue and complex biological compounds. It is believed that the human operators are the problem as they can not fully conceptualize the things requested.
Specimens that have been selected for study or deployment must be separated into blocks of 10 grams or less before being vacuum-sealed into plastic shrouds and kept in refrigerated storage. These specimens must be kept at temperatures of -10°C or lower, with canisters of liquid nitrogen to be kept on-site for emergency cooling. The site is further to be equipped with a side wide cooling system that is to be triggered should sub-straits try to breach insurgency control.
When handling, researchers must use a minimum protection method of a outside cooling suits (OCS) of at least MARK 2. The OCS MARK 2 allows for the operative to leave the suit in the contaminated zone while exiting it. The suit is than to be heated to item activation temperature and mentally instructed to self-destruct by at least 7 members of staff. After that the suit is to be cooled and filled with pressurized gas to check the inside volume and its structural integrity.
Individuals exposed to item without protection are to be kept in quarantine until it can be determined whether any contamination has occurred and the item has been properly extracted.
The item was as of now incapable of denying a direct order by 7 humanoids with average mental ability. The longest such a command was resisted was 6 minutes.
Specimens that are discovered in the field are to be reported and stunned if possible. It is not permitted to take control of wild item sub straits by groups smaller than 7 members. Wild specimens are not to be treated as drop-in replacements for sub-straits 1 to 3. They have to be cleared for usage before deployment. Some self-defense pattern may sill be active in wild instances, so termination should not been attempted before a thorough investigation.
Report:
Item is a silicon like compound, first documented by coal miners when it was uncovered in a coal mine in Gelsenkirchen, Germany in 20161. It has since been located at multiple digs worldwide. It was also discovered in several locations with other anomalous activity, such as ritualistic areas and areas with archeological findings matching search criteria WG-162.
In its inert form, the item resembles solid silver, though it is noticeably heavier and soft (comparable to sponge). When heated to approximately -1°C, samples lose their molecular stability and collapse into a liquid held together by extremely high surface tension. In its destabilized state, Item is easily dispersed. In its dispersed form, specimens of Item may enter an ‘active’ state and become capable of simple movement, achieving this by shifting material on the underside of the specimen. Studies have shown that active specimens are semi-telepathic and use the sensory organs of sentient beings near them. While most wild strains of the item seem to be inert, other wild specimens have shown to follow instructions left behind by a previous intelligence (wild animals, cult members, civilians or GOI-members). Substrain 4 is the only sub-strain to have shown intelligence and initiative when not in the presence of another intelligence.
The Item once activated will expand and spread across an object, covering as much of its surface area as possible before grinding against the covered surface and gradually breaking it down. Once an object has been disassembled at a subatomic level the item can reconstruct it in accordance to a predefined pattern or the input of an outside intelligence. If no pattern is provided the consumed mass will be added to the mass of the item. This is presumably its base pattern as the item loses mass if in an active state, presumably metabolizing matter directly into energy. It is possible to starve the item. If ordered to expend energy (move) and not convert new material, the item will eventually destroy itself turning into heat. The heat produced by the disintegration of the item is not a 1:1 matter to energy conversion as the conversion seems to be highly inefficient. A single gram of the item only radiated 5kW worth of energy as heat. Where the rest of the energy goes is as of now undetermined. Starving 1 gram of stone into nothing via movement of 20 km/h in a circle took 6 hours. Ordering it to self-destruct achieved the same result in 84 seconds.
A substrain of the item is an instance of the item that has been primed with specific instructions or sample patterns. If the item self replicates using provided material the newly created material is of the same substrain as the starting mass. If two or more substrains are combined they form a new substrain that has all patterns of the parent substrains. Which pattern is active will depend on outside conditions and the telepathically linked outside intelligence. Only Substrains 1 and 4 ever came into contact with gold and have it saved as a pattern. If other sub-strains are requested to produce gold the results varied from fools gold to silver to mercury.
- Only substrain 1 was provided with pattern examples for all candidate materials. As such it is the only substrate currently capable of producing Plutonium, Titan and Osmium.
- Only substrain 2 was exposed to heavy containment material, the exposure to such material makes substrate 2 faster in dissolving said materials.
- Only substrain 3 was provided with pattern examples for all non-single material targets. As such it is the only substrate currently capable of producing functioning samples of weapons and machinery.
- Only substrain 4 dissolved an entire experimentation camp, including its lead researcher. It is the only sample to have shown signs of independent intelligence.
Tests with substraints that have in the past consumed sentient live are currently prohibited (see Update 3).
If the stone is heated to over 1500°C it will not reform to a liquid until it has cooled down to approximately 185°C. In its gaseous state the stone has been proven to increase its effectiveness in the breaking of atomic structures, but seems to lose its telepathic ability as well is any pre-ingrained patterns. In this state it has started to break down air nitrogen, carbon-dioxide and oxygen increasing its mass.
While doing so it cooled itself down with rapid speed, falling back into a solid after a weight gain of 3 kilograms and 2 minutes.
Update 1:
Experimentation and missions with the item are on hold. It has been determined that active specimens of the object now designated substrain 4 have actively tried to breach containment during a test that was interrupted by an intruder alert.
The specimen completely ignored the provided waste material and instead followed the researchers into the save zone. It was able to eat through the cooled walls by converting material into heat to counteract the cold. In doing so it has damaged equipment of ██████ $.
During this breach it was discovered that the specimen grow up to a mass of 60 kilograms, but then stopped its expansion. The wight of the mass missing from the damaged equipment seem to have been fully converted. This is consistent with the standard method for item self-replication.
The specimen ceased activity after all researchers had fled the facility, separating into small independent unites of 200 grams. In later tests it was determined that the specimen is unable to navigate itself properly if not telepathically linked to an outside intelligence. The main mass of the escaping anomaly acted as if blind and deaf, using tremor sense and smell for navigation.
It is believed that during its initial recovery it was activated through the presence of the coal miners.
Tests with the stone are only to be conducted by 3 or more researchers as to not provoke another breach. The stone is not to be left unobserved if not cooled.
Update 2
Substrain 4 seems to have entirely been from reclaimed material following operation "Goodnight Kandragon". No other substrate has shown initiative or unexplained behavioral patterns.
Substrain 4 has show abnormal behavior attempting to dissolve mass and to use that mass to create gold. If provided with mercury it has successfully created gold. This is in tune with the research conducted by Dr. Kandragon before his termination. Dr. Kandragon's experiments are to be redone.
If successful the stone could replace the “Staff of Hermes” as the main source of income to the Insurgency.
Update 3:
Experimentation with the "Goodnight Kandragon" specimens (Substrain 4) has been prohibited. The specimens breached containment in a test involving 15 grams of the specimen. The mass of the specimen decreased by 3 grams than the stone self heated itself into a gas. It breached containment while gaining 1500 kilograms of mass. It seems the cooling observed in previous tests is a ingrained function and not the items natural response to consuming gasses.
The stone began to leave behind gold statues with a resemblance to Dr. Klaus Kandragon in his hazard suit before entering the cafeteria and producing a Dr. Kandregon statue made out of mostly organic carbohydrates. The specimen was subdued using the on-site cooling systems. It is speculated that the specimen used the energy from within the 3 grams of disappeared stone to heat itself up.
The mass of substrain 4 is to be gradually decreased to 500 grams. This order extends to all substrains that might be capable of thought. As it is currently understood, this includes all substrains that have consumed sentient life.
Experiments with the carbon Dr. Kandregon has shown that the stone had created a working blood circle, nerve and bone system out of gold, cobalt and iron within the carbon. Tests on the other statues showed a progression in detail.
- 1th statue, solid gold, no details.
- 2th statue, suit and Dr. Kandregon can be separated from each other (all gold)
- 3th statue, iron bones and more details
- 4th statue, elemental carbon body, cobalt nerve system, iron bones and more details
- 5th statue, complex carbon molecules with cobalt nerve system, iron bones, gold as blood and more details
High command is deciding over an experiment to see if a completely in the stone dissolved person can be fully recreated by the stone. If this is possible the stone could be used as a prison or storage system. Tests in which loyal members of the insurgency or animals are to be dissolved in the stone to test whether the new substrate would gain independent intelligence are currently prohibited.
Deployment of substrains 1 to 3 are no longer prohibited.
Item: | God's Blood "Red Mercury" |
Type: | Anomalous element |
Living: | No |
Sentient: | No |
Potential/Current Hazards | High toxicity, my provoke nuclear effects |
Required Wear/Weaponry | Standard ABC Hazard suit |
Location: | Bathtub-05 |
Reported Anomaly: | Nuclear accelerator, stealth coating |
Usage
Stealth coating of planes and transporters, nuclear reaction starter and financial gain.
If the neutrons emitted from the item are not absorbed, the item will heat up to 500 degrees Celsius throw a chain reaction similar to a neutron bomb.
Containers of this item must be capable to stop this reaction as to not decreases the amount of usable samples.
The item is highly toxic and must be handled as such.
The item could be used to build sub 5 kilogram neutron bombs if applied right, it was never activated in that form do to the Foundation mostly buying up all samples from the black market and stealing thous not in there possession.
Theoretically if activated under pressure the element could start a fusion reaction.
Objects coated in the item become invisible to radar and the human eye.
Report
The item is chemically identical with elementary mercury.
Its red and yellow colors still defy explanation as are its radioactive properties.
It was first encountered during a mission to recover an item from a cave in [REDACTED], in 1924.
During the mission a fight between agent Haos, and a local homeless person that was encountered in the cave resulted in the homeless person revealing itself as the antic god Hermes.
The blood found on agent Haos equipment, after the fight, revealed that the blood of the homeless person was indeed "Red Mercury".
The entities wounds had resealed, during the fight, as the red mercury hardened out around the entities wounds, cooling down and hardening into a yellow crust.
Agent Haos was treated for Mercury poisoning and radioactive poisoning after he escaped the cave.
The entity was detained in a follow up mission in 1949.
To create more of the substance "Hermes" was blooddrained regularly in the new Bathtub-05 facility, named after the apparatus used to drain the gods blood.
First the entity was force feed with normal food, until it was discovered that if feed with regular mercury the entity would rebuild its blood much faster.
The creature fled Insurgency custody in 1990, after having been used to create "Red Mercury" on a daily bases for the past years.
The last 5000 liters of the element are currently undergoing testing to continue the research, that was aborted in 1953, to find a way to synthesize the item.
History of the use of "God's Blood"
1949
Capture of Hermes, benign of production of the item in Bathtub-01
19502 years of freedom.
1948 the Insurgency became the Chaos Insurgency.
Than this relict of the past made things worse then ever before.
Holder that guy, we once called POI-5…
His money was not welcome in the new Insurgency, but some of us thought differently of that.
The first cracks were showing.
The Foundation stormed our Bases and times were dark as they were.
The Insurgency ended on the first of January.
We tore us apart and took the world down with us.
We don’t know who set of the first bomb.
The stuff from Bathtub-01 was just to easy to use.
First we hit the Foundation, than the cells attacked each other.
Holder, that bastard had orchestrated a war within the CI.
The Foundation tried to contain the catastrophe that followed.
America and Russia were having non of that.
When they started to bomb each other with the Red Mercury, that we had sold them, it was over.
The heaven burned day and night.
We lost track of time in the following months.
The Foundation used some stuff to get the world back in order, but the CI would not stop.
WE burned through the world, powered by gods blood.
Bathtub-01 was destroyed about three months in, but we just build a new one.
Bathtub.
Who knew what terror and relevance that word once held.
We lost large amounts of man at 02.
The GOC was almost constantly at our doorstep.
We burned up the ocean and every land where humans had survived the first blast.
Than 02 exploded.
I knew most of the guys that worked in that fortress.
I was put in charge of 03.
Man, how i hated Hermes,
the most powerful weapon in possession of the CI cell i was a part of.
The battle of 03 was a quick one.
The Foundation came state through the front door.
Some of our guys had opened the door for them.
So many mans without faces.
These things came straight out of 2000 or another of there contraptions.
We have bombed that base at least 100 times.
Our cell ended that day. Me and Hermes were among the few that got out.
By the time base 04 was finished and in operation the world was plain.
Nuclear winter began, darkness and ashes, but we kept on firing our nucs.
The last cells fighting believed that the Foundation was to blame for the end of the world.
If i had spoken up and had told them the truth they would had hanged me.
Then the Foundation did some thing i could not explain.
We were in the middle of a war in 1953 and suddenly it was the first of January 1950.
Live was normal. Our facilities were back, the good people were back.
I changed the name of Bathtub-01 into 05 since we could not find 04 or any of the other bases.
The Foundation must have used the stuff we now know as "Status Quo".
They must have rebuild the world behind our backs the following years.
I found some of thous how fought in the war and they all remembered it once i asked them.
They had kept quiet just like me.
We are getting old. I hide this information and hope it will stop us when we once again want to set the world on fire.

His episodes in which he claims that there is more to the item than its sticky nature are to be treaded with psychoactive drugs.
This Item never had a Usage Paragraph attached to it.
The Items stickiness can be reduced by cooling down what ever it sticks to.

Card Lost: Found
Meta Wonderrat felt the jolt as parts of the past were removed by anothers hand. He checked which pieces were gone and after a moment of frustration fell back into his smile.
"Authors do have a right to self delete, but the piece they pulled out is actually one I am interested in."
Meta reached into his mouth and pulled a metallic silver sphere out of one of his teeth. The sphere quickly expended as it eat the air to add to its own mass. The cane Meta Wonderrat now held locked as if cast in one piece.
"Your brother has died. The implications are that the space in reality he once occupied, limiting your potential, is now free."
The silver staff twisted into a shape with many tiny blades and edges. Not one blade formed where Meta was holding the handle.
"I will have to reforge you, but should your brother not be resurrected soon, you will be released."
The molecular corrosion stone hummed in excitement, as Meta went over what he would keep from the old article and how much the Insurgency had worsened its canon by once again allowing an item entwined with "Ruin" to take the place of something that firmly was not from that line of thinking.
Meta began the reconstruction of the MPS.
