After shooing away the random Shadow Courier who popped out of nowhere, Ves turned his attention back to the grey rock. He opened up the box and reached out with his hand.
No reaction.
"What? I was sure there was something here!"
Ves puzzled over the rock he bought, refusing to believe his senses had foiled him. Yet as he continually probed the rock with his hands and his spiritual senses, he actually failed to uncover anything remarkable.
Had he misjudged? Had he been scammed?
He refused to believe so. There must be something special about this rock!
"Many mech designers require years of research in order to decipher some of the secrets behind exotics. It's nothing unusual for me to obtain no results upon a cursory examination."
After several minutes of fruitless examination, Ves closed the box and left the mystery for later. This was not the time and place to perform serious material research.
