Chapter 7: Analyze
The mysterious ship was transported back to the HomeWorld for further analysis, as well as some of the containers that was found within the ship as well. Several of the weapons that were found on the bodies, and in an area the NEX think is an armory.
By analyzing the weapons, the scientist leaders agreed it's some type of particle weapon, with much further testing revealed weapon does not run out of ammo and is highly accurate. However, it does have a cooling system once it overheats and shuts down and cools.
Stripping the whipping down to its base components, reveals its technology similar to the ship revolves around a type of Mass Effect fields that reduces weight, how this is achieved as yet unknown but the NEX is very eager to find out, especially when they made the connection that this handheld weapon is similar to the mounted armament on the ship just upscaled to a ludicrous degree.
The more the analyzed, the more they understood, and all this technology revolved around the Mass Effect Siri, which led them to another thing a new element. They have dubbed element zero.
When analyzing it they found out that this material that, when subjected to an electrical current, releases dark energy which can be manipulated into a mass effect field, raising or lowering the mass of all objects within that field.
After much time researching the new element they've come to the conclusion of how it's made through several testing and observation they discovered elements zero is generated when solid matter, such as a planet, is affected by the energy of a star going supernova. The material is common in the asteroid debris that orbits neutron stars and pulsars. These are dangerous places to mine, requiring extensive use of specialized alloys, telepresence, and shielding to survive the intense radiation from the dead star.
Several planets within NEX Territory found several small deposits of elemental zero, which was safer to mine.
A positive current increases mass, a negative current decreases it. This "mass effect" is used in countless ways, from generating artificial gravity to manufacturing high-strength construction materials.
From further analysis of the ship the NEX Science leaders conclude that elemental zero can also be used for a type of faster than light travel.
After taking out FTL system and drive they installed it into one of their ships for testing and through several failed attempts they finally were able to figure out how elemental zero FTL capabilities with this technology.
While he could be useful the NEX had concluded that using their own hyper Lane network would still be in their best interest and less resource consumption when compared to Mass Effect technology.
After their primary, reports in analyzation was completed, they sent on their reports to Combinatrix to be looked over as they conduct secondary experiments with elemental zero.
Combinatrix receiving the Report on the scientists findings on the ship, and the technology made the leader of the NEX feel like he's forgetting something when he's reading this report especially when the words elemental zero and Mass Effect technology was mentioned he feels like something in his processors was missing when reading this haven't done this for over several weeks centuries Combinatrix decided to look deeper into his processor memory core to see why these words were so familiar to him.
Diving deep into his memory, he goes through each one from his past life, which he keeps under lock and key for safety reasons, and when he feels Nastasja like now, but something nagging at him at the back of his processor, is making him feel like he should investigate this more after looking through more of his memories, he remembers why.
Mass Effect A video game he played often when he was younger. It was extremely fun game with interesting enemies, but that's not what's concerning him was concerning him is why this elements in this reality when this should be stellaris not mass effect.
This makes him doubt in what reality he's in because if he is in Mass Effect universe that changes a lot of his future plans.
As well as his potential fear of the reapers thankful he was being dampened by his machine logic making him look at the situation, more calmly, which makes him realize freaking out about it at this moment, would do him no good all he could do is prepare and see if this is the Mass Effect universe or if this is a combined universe between Stellaris and mass effect.
