The Crystals Arrive

Your call has reached me in our Pleiades system, and I brought some things for you too. But first, I want to tell you this.

Earlier, I wanted to go to the usual meeting point, when I located three different power currents with the area analyser. These powers were strongly interspersed with disturbing values about your person. As I then was gliding across the village, I noticed these forces were centrally located at each village exit. You are being watched and followed. For the time being, therefore, I think it would be appropriate for us to meet further away in future.

You have done very well, but we are not very safe here. So we cannot be together for long.

You already told me that when you called me. Thank you so much for saving myself a lot of trouble.

You can keep it. Here are your things:

• a small piece of ruby in zoisite
• a piece of emerald
• malachite
• fluorite

These crystals are meant for you. You can sell the others here. Unfortunately, I could not get everything you wanted. Maybe next time. I also brought you some metal from three different operations. This is the product of the third transformation process; this is the product of the fourth process, and this is the product of the fifth transformation process, of which there are seven in total.

Sure, I guess I was not clear enough about my explanation: The first step absorbs the lead substances from the atmosphere and compresses them into pure lead. The second process removes all dangerous radiation from the metal obtained in this manner. The lead then enters the cold converters, which, without the addition of any other metals, convert the lead into the alloy in several processes.

Certainly. There are probably direct conversion possibilities of matter, but these possibilities are not yet extensively given to us. However, our scientists have already achieved good experimental results. At present, however, we still transform the metals in the traditional form through the cold converters, and as I said, this happens in seven different passes: The metal is liquefied cold, like it is done in your blast furnaces by heat, and then undergoes a transformation by certain vibrations, but only up to a certain value, so different operations are required. The respective end product is then pressed through a cooling spiral in intermittent batches, resulting in small structures such as those in front of you. This process is repeated several times, whereby the value of the various metals increases with each new process and becomes the final alloy. The sixth working process then produces the complete alloy, while the seventh process produces finished metal plates.

The cooling spiral contains ordinary water, which, however, we obtain by condensational [process] especially for this purpose. What I call the cooling process has to do with the fact that the material is hardened.

I derive the word from condensing.

Maybe, I will make an effort.

For this purpose, we use a device that you would call a welding machine. However, it is based on a vibration technique that liquefies the metal in a cold state and allows it to flow into each other, making it absolutely seamless and forming a single piece. That is why we do not know about grinding metal like you do when you do welding and then have to grind away the seams to level it out. By the way, in this respect you use a very dangerous procedure on Earth. Our technology ensures that seam breaks or tears can never occur.

It is now time we must be careful. Next Saturday or Sunday we will meet again. Until then, I also want to bring the tape back to you.
