Wild Cat Chase
Within the hull of an archeship that was still in hiding, a certain striped metallic gem cat phased through the bulkheads like crazy!
Whenever the cat could do so, he took a few bites out of the solid pieces of archemetal here and there. Despite having ingested tons of compacted and specially processed materials already, the small intruder showed no signs of reaching satiation!
In the face of the yummiest and most delectable metals that Lucky had ever tasted, there was no way that the cat would allow his limitations to get in the way of absorbing large amounts of archemetal.
What made the alien metal so special to the gem cat was that it was a substantially different and more ingenious arrangement of matter than anything else he had encountered in the past.
The alloys based on the biometal arrangements of the major alien race's distinct archeshells possessed too many advantages to count.
