Meanwhile, over the next <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">5 Years</span></span>, the Azurium drill manages to pierce the thick shell of Vetuck IV, revealing what some scientists had been expecting all along; <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">BAG</span></span>! Hidden underneath the planet's crust, the precious gas has been found.
<span class="mu-r">”We did it boys! Gaseous gold!”</span>
It seems the planet had a deep internal store of BAG somehow protected from the nearby star's radiation. Despite not being an exoplanet, this unusual planetary body had a large supply of BAG underneath its crust. Perhaps during the star's formation, the BAG absorbed so much radiation that it created a hollow sphere that trapped itself inside; acting as a blocker to prevent more of the BAG to materialize matter from the radiation.
But a new problem arises at the last minute. With the new BAG comes the potential for the life machine. You order an immediate shipping route set up- new BAG pressurized and purified for use in the life-changing miracle device... only for Maktana II to stop you.
<span class="mu-r">”What do you mean the machine doesn't <span class="mu-i">want</span> to work?!”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Please your grace... We did not know this would happen. It's like it needs inspiration.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Inspiration? You're starting to sound like my Son! Get Tetak here to “converse” with this stupid machine and make it do what I command!”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Tetak is the one who told us this, my lord...”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Gah! This was supposed to be our chance at immortality- and it doesn't want to work! It has to prepare for a hundred years between each charge?! This is absurd! I'll be dead by the next time it can turn on! This machine was supposed to give us our chance... Even you, if I'd invite you after your many failures to perform!”</span>
Well that's just great. The Life Machine, life changing savior of your race, is apparently too <span class="mu-i">artistic</span> and <span class="mu-i">spiritual</span> to want to work on demand. That's the real reason the Hazaar weren't constantly using it- it wasn't forgotten, merely charging. Besides simply its power source, it seems the machine has some other, secondary cooldown relating to the creation and formation of new life as based on the power of <span class="mu-i">presence</span>. You don't understand it; but you know it means the life machine can't be used as a factory for immortality. Or supersoldiers. Or superfoods- or super anything!
The silver lining is, at the very least, a new supply of BAG has been unlocked. While you'll have all the fuel you'll need for the life machine now- the vast majority of the stuff now has no assigned purpose. What are you going to create with it?
