Space Era During the year 93.
As a scientist and founder of the foremost research institute of her age, Aelyzabeth von Thors once again shook the very foundations of human understanding.She announced a breakthrough that would alter the course of civilization—the discovery and synthesis of six new elements, a phenomenon that defied existing knowledge while awakening both hope and dread across the stars.
The Six New Elements and Their Applications.
Cladius — A regenerative element capable of merging with organic tissue to restore and prolong cellular life. Its use revolutionized medicine and bio-healing.
Maxius — A hyper-durable material resistant to radiation and extreme pressure, ideal for missions near stellar reactors and uncharted cosmic zones.
Valaerius — A novel form of clean energy derived from carbon dioxide transmutation combined with the rare mineral Dreamspear, producing near-limitless power with no toxic residue.
Saeraetius — A super-alloy impervious to acid and solar heat, designed for spacecraft hulls that must endure the merciless blaze of suns and the void's freezing extremes.
Quaxenzus — A reactive substance capable of absorbing greenhouse gases and converting them into breathable oxygen, potentially reversing centuries of planetary decay.
Al-Qaemii Aeryus — The most enigmatic of all; engineered not merely for transmutation but as the threshold to the universal truth—a key, Aelyzabeth claimed, "to approach the essence of existence itself."
The Shockwaves of Discovery.
The scientific world trembled. To some, her discovery heralded the dawn of a new age of restoration—curing diseases, repairing worlds, and reshaping matter itself. To others, it was a forbidden power—an instrument that could, in the wrong hands, birth tyranny and destruction.
Her innovations earned her another Nobel Prize in Science, yet also ignited political tension among the interstellar powers. On Earth, certain governments warned that such concentrated scientific authority—held by a single individual—might destabilize the balance of power throughout the human colonies.
The Shadows of Conspiracy.
In the months following her announcement, a series of covert assassination attempts cast a dark veil over her life. Gunfire, explosions, and subtle poisoning—each event shrouded in mystery, recorded only in fragmented news archives. It was clear: someone wished to silence her.
Sensing the danger, Aelyzabeth increased her security measures. Pregnant at the time, she was advised by her physicians and councilors to withdraw from public life for her mental well-being. Lea von Yigzorch, her closest confidant, urged a dual response—public relations and legal defense—to safeguard both her reputation and her safety.
The Party's Strategic Response
Walter von Yigzorch, serving as party spokesman, held a press conference adopting a tone of firm conciliation. He declared:
"Any act that seeks to harm a scientist is an assault upon the very foundation of civilization. To threaten a woman bearing life is not merely criminal—it is barbaric, and an affront to human conscience."
He vowed that the National Party would demand a full and transparent investigation, and that all perpetrators, if found, would face justice under interstellar law.
Though Walter refrained from accusing any specific nation or group, his closing words reverberated through every broadcast:
"Those who attack us are those who fear the future we are building."
That phrase became the spark of a peaceful uprising. Mass demonstrations erupted across several worlds—citizens carrying banners inscribed with "Protect the Light of Science" and "For the Future of Humanity."
The Ripple Through Society and Politics.
Walter's address transformed public sentiment.Supporters demanded universal protection for scientists and inventors, while critics urged international oversight to prevent the monopolization of power.
Diplomatic channels grew tense; negotiations and covert intelligence exchanges filled the void between stars.Though no open warfare followed, the galaxy could sense the static of conflict in the air.
Aelyzabeth's State of Mind
The ordeal scarred Aelyzabeth deeply.Though her intellect remained unshaken, the strain of persecution during pregnancy carved wounds that reason could not heal.
Under Leah's guidance, she entered a stage of holistic recovery:talk therapy, meditative discipline, enhanced security, and the gradual delegation of her public appearances.Even in seclusion, she continued to direct her conceptual research remotely—setting the framework for the next generation of transmutational science, from within the most secure laboratory ever built.
Thus ends Chapter B-IXX.
