Field Report: Native Vanadium Cache

A small vein of what appears to be an unidentified vanadium isotope has been discovered at a Wayfinder Society dig site in Petra. It is rare enough to find such an isotope undecayed in nature, but it seems this source is also uniquely indestructible and undergoing reactions previously achieved only in a lab setting. It is posing a challenge to isolate and contain the material with the resources available on-site.

The Wayfinders are focusing their efforts on recovering artifacts and are uninterested in the isotope’s phase-shifting properties. The Ministries of Oasis have brokered an agreement with the site lead at Petra, Dr. Hamid Faisal, to transfer the material to Oasis for further research.

Upon request, the Ministry of Genetics will temporarily house the material until Minister Al-Shahrani has completed her current geological study of seismic activity along the Red Sea Rift.

Dear Minister O’Deorain,

I must first express my appreciation for the Ministry of Genetics’ continued flexibility and willingness to store the vanadium isotope as we have completed our seismic research. It is exciting to see the results of your elemental analysis and mass spectrometry readings, and I look forward to conducting my own. Your extensive study and unique insights as a geneticist have allowed Oasis to imagine a wider array of applications for the material than originally planned.

However, I must once again urge you to transfer the isotope to the Ministry of Geology for study. We are now months behind schedule, and I can no longer condone further experimentation by the Ministry of Genetics. Though your suggestions for alternate uses of this material are well received, this is a matter for the Ministry of Geology.

Sincerely,

Minister Anya Al-Shahrani

Your perspective on the vanadium isotope is valued but not necessary. My experiments have progressed beyond
