Questions/Question 99

Belated piggybacks off this chain; if Bricks were to tinker with the clicker device, try to open it up with tools and examine it the same way with the ServiTons what might he learn?

A lad here to tinker.

There is very clearly a small chip laced with magic within. It's of the sort used for ServiTons: it contains that patented flavor of Karterian Controlling magic that they so love, because nothing beats forcing the world around them to behave.

There is also a small capsule. It almost slaps of the Augmenter... but much smaller, nary a seam in sight. This will be risky to try to pry open, and it's otherwise a solid metal capsule. There is indeed a warning printed on the side: DO NOT PUNCTURE. And yet puncture or cutting seems to be the only way inside...

We'll go ahead and detail what will happen if Brickston decides he wants to pry this capsule open. The safeguard: this capsule floods the air with a poisonous mist, enough to suffer temporary neurological effects that may last for a week to a month. (Local Reptilia-types and Golem-types will be immune to these effects!) If that's not enough, a small explosion takes place! Keep those fingers clear! All traces of the capsule and what is inside is destroyed. Unfortunately, there are very few ways to disarm this capsule; whoever designed this is clearly hiding something about its structure.

There may be other ways to detect what lays beyond the shell of the capsule... If Brickston decides he will heed the warning and not puncture the capsule, and attempt other means of exploring this little doodad, there may be certain detection devices that could be made or accessed that would show a very slight reading of Katalyth, so microscopic that it's almost an error. Alas, if it's let to detonate, the ability to process a reading out of its dust will be very difficult to do.
