"Please tell me, what's wrong? Tell me!"
"Blossom, hand over the remote! We'll discuss the fingerprint report later!"
Blossom hesitantly handed over the remote and the Professor told her to wait. Blossom sat down, confused. After 20 minutes, the Professor came with his hand gripping the report.
"How could I have noticed that? That remote does not look normal. Something about it was... weird. I checked the report and checked some records, and the person who sent this to you was a worker of the Solar Star Inc. And they use a specific material..."
The Professor slammed the results on the lab desk. He was flushed and breathed rapidly. His eyes were fixed on the accursed report. His fists were balled. He angrily whispered under his breath, "Rose Silver."
Blossom gave a weird look at him. She flew to his spot and asked, "What on earth is Rose Silver?"
The Professor did not turn his head, his head fixed on the report. He talked in a slow, serious and crystal clear voice.
" Rose silver has many variants. The mineral is really, really, rare. You can't find in an average subterranean mine. No, you have to travel miles to the city of Spears to get this. No one knows how its made, but we do know its properties. Mystical and physical. "
"Mystical?"
"Yes, it does have some mystical properties. For example, the Rose silver remote you just found. This remote has Orange Rose silver. Orange Rose silver is not the rarest out of the Rose silver variants, but it is locked away because this would wreck someone's life."
The Professor finally looked at Blossom with his tired eyes. "Blossom, you need to quarantine this remote. Go to the storage room and find a grey box with the skull and bones danger symbol. Now."
Blossom lifted her hand to ask something but didn't ask anything. She carefully dashed to the storage room and found the box he told her to get. The Professor rose from his seat and went to the testing area to get it. He throws it into the box and seals it. He thoroughly began to clean his lab utensils. As he was cleaning, he continued his explanation.
"You see, Rose silver isn't normal like iron or mercury. It isn't radioactive as uranium. However, it is dangerous in a different way. As I mentioned earlier, Orange rose silver is dangerous. This mineral has some good physical qualities. It's not flammable and strong as pure diamond. Whoever made this remote did a good yet bad job at planning which materials to use. It's a shame that it's too clustered. However, the clustered buttons aren't the worst thing about it. The real issue is its mystical properties."
He coughed. Blossom looked at him with concern.
"Blossom, I'm going to sound an eccentric scientist, but I promise you that this is not made up. It is very real."
Blossom sat down on one of his chairs and began to listen.
"So, this mineral can change a person's behavior, badly. The longer you keep it around and touch it, the more evil you become. Your thought patterns change and you start to change. The very few who manage to get it, became evil and wrecked havoc. The people at Spears realized that it was the mineral who changed people and locked it away in a storage room in a cave. There wasn't much of it but finding the rest was really difficult because they were scattered across the area."
Blossom rolled her eyes and said, " I believe the not flammable part but the fact that a mineral can change someone's thought pattern? That's insane."
"No, it is not insane. There were some reports on this. It was on the news a few years ago but people forgot about, dismissing it as fake. I was about to do the same, but then I wanted to confirm it. I spent a few months researching on them. I went to Spears and analyzed the Rose silver. "
"And was it true?"
"It was true."
"But then, the worker could have wrapped it or something."
"I'm not too sure about why he didn't do that, but I do know that this remote is dangerous."
Blossom was too flabbergasted and said she needed a moment.
Bubbles whispered to Buttercup, " I didn't know that we had a fingerprint checker or something. And the records, when did he even get them?"
"No clue."
Blossom walked out and jumped in horror.
"What are you guys doing here?"
