Stonewellium Prime

**Stonewellium Prime** is a strand of enhancelememt from Planet Scyria. Named crudely after the nickname for the corruptive strain of enhancelement that poisoned Scyria’s surface, it was mastered and controlled by a mad chemist named Edwyn Stonewell who has injected himself with enhancelement and became a monster who intended to take over Eriret Prime, the hub of the Scyrian rescue efforts, and spread his growing form across countless worlds until his defeat in the hooves of Gazelle and the Shell Lodge Squad, alongside his ascended former friends Heili Runner and Johnna Runner. But despite his death, the corruptive strain of enhancelement imprinted his genetics and neurological makeup, allowing it to gain a new sentience of its own. Thus it was able to discover something new: The Exodus Spacecraft, a lost Scyrian colony vessel that has 8 ringworlds cultivating lifeforms from all over the AUU since the Teadr 1 Era, all as a backup plan in case the original Adytum Project was a failure. Stonewellium was able to cut the automatic transmissions that signaled the Adytum Project’s success and the restoration of Scyria and the Scyrian race, and Stonewellium discovered that the ship was searching for an uncharted new superhabitable world called Sydus. Having inherited Stonewell’s personality and intelligence, Stonewellium begins to slowly take over the vessel by molecularly rearranging parts of it starting with the first ring, spreading countless eyes across the matrix, and corrupting or killing individuals. Stonewellium proceeded to hijack the ship’s control center personally while it spread its presence all over the ship, getting obstacles in the form of Noda, Gable, and Iuego. But Iuego manages to contact his ‘mental clone’ Santrago An Sanct to get aid in saving the Exodus Craft, but since the Lodgers were too busy, they instead sent a close second: the Clam Lounge Squadron, who helps to free Noda, Gable, Iuego, and the on-board Exodus Simulation Program’s Scyrians from Stonewellium’s influence. In time, after they begin cutting Stonewellium’s power over much of the ship, they take the fight to Stonewellium Prime itself, as it intended to dispose of Siri, whose power is potentially equal to Gazelle’s. But Siri is able to save the ship’s 7 uninfected rings by discarding them from the ship, which has been too well fused with Stonewellium, and onto Sydus with help from Heili’s fragment companion HL-1 sacrifices herself in Sau’s body after discarding Sau’s core to Sonny and staying behind the ship as it fell into a gas giant, taking Stonewellium with it, all while Iuego, Noda, and Gable help the remaining 7 rings colonize Sydus and make it into a new world. Despite its villainous nature, it is not truly evil. It is only a living entity fighting for what it needs to survive, and it was only imprinted with the mind of its creator, making it malicious and believing that the best way to survive is to conquer Sydus.

## Abilities

Inheriting Stonewell’s high-level intelligence has allowed Stonewellium itself to know near-limitless knowledge in science. Stonewellium is a corrupted strain of enhancelement, which is in essence an artificial silicon-based lifeform, part-building material and part-organic flesh that is formed into a polymer made from fabric weaved from DNA strands. It can build its own electrical charge through a built-in neurology. It can also be melted down into a liquid or gas form. In its liquid form, the substance can be used for genetic engineering but is very unstable and radioactive if not welded properly. Applying any genes to a mutagenic serum of enhancelement can have great advantageous effects. In its gaseous form, the substance can act as a mutagenic bioweapon.

Stonewellium is enhancelement itself given a sentience, but a sentience based on a greedy and dangerous man. As such Stonewellium can command the power of enhancelement itself and can therefore sabotage technology that uses it. With its mutagenic and biokinetic powers, it can replicate any organic body parts it desires, and even mutate wildlife itself by contaminating the water they feed off of. Stonewellium itself has thus created new creatures to do its bidding: Mutadons, which are draconian Chromons that can glide, pounce-teleport, turn invisible with active camouflage thanks to an elaborate nervous system, and can breath a red chemical fire that spreads enhancelement as a gas and mutates whatever the fire reacts with. Brainers are mutated Grempithecuses with exposed brains that can mind-control others and act as Stonewellium’s means of making sleeper agents. Phagers are swarms of small flying flower-eyes that act as antibodies. Spawners are large flower-womb monsters that are larger variants of Phagers and can use primordial ooze to spawn any creature needed for the job while also having a bioelectric force field around them.

In addition to his biogenic powers, Stonewellium can also molecularly warp the setting around it thanks to being a hybrid of organic and inorganic matter, and even allow it to access data grids, and sabotage it for its own desires. This can be dangerous when applied to the limitless possibilities of networks like the Omninet and the great capabilities of Teadr 1 or Teadr 0 technology. Stonewellium itself can assimilate its presence into any matrix of machines, computers, and data grids it desires, allowing it to gain access to what these machines can do. It can thus become virtually unstoppable if it was to assimilate the right machines.
