TO: The Rainsavers Team (Tom, Dart, Sunbyte, and anyone else who isn't currently breaking my equipment)
FROM: Dr. Manelo Mubari, Head of Biochemistry & "The Only One Cleaning the Lab"
SUBJECT: Red Mercury (Again), Stability Issues, and Why Alpha Needs to Stop Eating the Specimen Vials
URGENCY: CRITICAL (But when isn't it?)
Look, I’m going to keep this professional, despite the fact that someone, and I’m looking at you, Sunbyte, left a half-eaten protein bar on my centrifuge. Again.
I’ve spent the last 72 hours trying to stabilize the samples we recovered from the Amazon site, and frankly, my brain is fried. I’ve decided to compile my private notes here so you all can understand why we are dealing with the most dangerous substance on the planet. This isn’t just some shiny rock; it’s a physics-defying nightmare that smells faintly of ozone and regret.
1. What Exactly Is "Red Mercury"? (Aside from a Headache)
In the scientific community, "red mercury" is often dismissed as a Cold War myth or a hoax. Well, I wish it were. In reality, what we are dealing with are Red Mercury Crystals. These aren't just minerals; they are high-density energy conduits.
Think of it as the world’s worst battery. It’s incredibly powerful, but it’s about as stable as a caffeinated toddler on a trampoline.
Scientific Breakdown (For the Non-Biochemists):
- Atomic Weight: Classified (mostly because the scale kept exploding).
- Luminosity: Pulsates at a frequency that makes my teeth hurt.
- Energy Output: Enough to power a small city, or one very angry rogue agent's fusion reactor.
- Side Effects: Nausea, mild levitation of loose objects, and a sudden urge to write long, angry memos.
I’ve been trying to map the isotopic signature of these crystals. They don’t follow standard radioactive decay. Instead, they seem to "breathe" energy from the surrounding environment. This is why the Amazon rainforest is so vulnerable; the crystals are essentially ecological vampires.
2. Historical Context (The Cold, Hard Truth)
We know Leonard West is obsessed with this stuff, but he didn’t invent it. My research into the team’s findings from the Antarctic expedition (Ref: Book Three: Tempest of the Crimson Skies) shows that these crystals were first weaponized by German expeditions in 1939.
They weren't just building rockets; they were building systems to interface with these ancient crystals. The tech we found, the propulsion systems, the moon base tech (Ref: Book Four: Shadow of the Moon), it all runs on Red Mercury. It’s a bridge between ancient mysteries and modern destruction.
Note to self: Tell Tom to stop touching the German tech with his bare hands. I don’t care how much "Primal" strength he has; radiation doesn't care about his bicep circumference.
3. Oops Moment #42: Alpha vs. The Beaker
I was right in the middle of a delicate titration process when Alpha decided it was time for "Science Hour."
Incident Report:
Alpha somehow managed to find a pair of my spare goggles. While I was focused on the monitor, he decided that my "Sample B" (which is highly volatile, I might add) looked like a great place to dip a banana.
The resulting reaction didn't blow up the lab, thankfully, but it did turn Alpha's fur a bright shade of neon blue for approximately three hours. He also gained the temporary ability to solve complex calculus equations, judging by the way he rearranged my magnetic whiteboard.
Alpha, if you're reading this (and I know you can now): STAY OUT OF THE LAB.
4. The "Leonard West" Problem (The Evolution of a Threat)
We need to talk about what Red Mercury does when it interacts with human DNA, specifically, Tom "Primal" Swift's DNA.
West isn't just a rogue agent anymore. By using the crystals to power his transformation, he’s become Mortalis. My notes on the Giza Pyramid reactor indicate that the Red Mercury fusion process didn't just give him power; it warped his biological structure.
When you look at the stability readings on my monitor, you see the "Mortalis Spike." This is the point where the Red Mercury stops being a fuel and starts being a mutagen. It’s what created the Black Rain bioweapon. It doesn't just kill; it changes. It turns the rainforest against itself, which is exactly what we’re seeing with the corruption of the Spirit Tree.
5. Current Desk Situation (And Why There’s Coffee Everywhere)
I’ve had to resort to physical paper maps because the Red Mercury interference keeps shorting out my tablet.
Currently, my desk is covered in:
- Antarctic Topography Maps: Marking where West found the first cache.
- German Rocket Blueprints: They were light-years ahead of their time, and it’s terrifying.
- Coffee Stains: Mostly from when Sunbyte burst in shouting about "moon signals."
- A Glowing Shard: (Don't tell Tom, I’m keeping this one for "study").
If anyone sees a folder labeled "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL: SPIRIT TREE CORRUPTION FORMULAS," please return it. I think Alpha might have used it to make a paper airplane. Or a nest. Possibly both.
6. Final Warning (Please Read This Part, Tom)
We are heading into the final confrontation. Mortalis isn't just looking for power; he's looking to rewrite the Earth's biological code using the Spirit Tree as his conduit. If we don't stop the Red Mercury assault, the "Primal Awakening" that gave us our hero won't be a miracle: it'll be the beginning of the end.
I’m going back to the centrifuge. If I hear one more explosion, I’m quitting and joining an accounting firm. They have better coffee and fewer giant mutated orangutans.
Stay safe out there. And for the love of the Amazon, don't touch the red stuff.
