In Search of the Core

In the 1990s, Dr. Lena Spilman's research team discovered that some materials could have a delayed effect (albeit an inefficient one) on Stardust-induced omega decay, similar to that of a rod upon nuclear reaction. Much like how humanity discovered the tungsten filament only after decades of searching for the right material for incandescent lighting, Dr. Spilman and countless Rosetta researchers also began their long hunt. What would be the ideal material for the "core" that could unlock Stardust energy's possibilities? All known elements on Earth were tried and tested repeatedly, to unsatisfactory results. Finally, the team turned their attention back to Stardust: in particular, some particles that underwent high omega decay and reformed differently than any known earthly material. Dr. Spilman and others found that these caused many unexpected results. The team was finally on the right path, but the journey wasn't finished yet. After ten years, the first usable core was created, capable of drawing from life forms that had undergone nearly complete omega decay after being infected by Stardust. No one knows what creature(s) they were, or whether they were human. All relevant records have disappeared.
