## Sculk Recording

### Aura Color

Green

Rae started writing *Sculk Recording* when the sculk appeared and started spreading.

## Transcript

Initial Finding - Copied over

- There is a pit beneath the Archives now. It's filled with a weird material called Sculk? I collected some to study.

- The aura is a weird mix of mostly purple and some green

- There are 3 types. Veins, blocks, and sensors

- The sensors appear to detect movement? They activate and make around them.

- Is this at all linked to Perix being in the Archives?

- At some point go down and make a measured removal to test if it gets worse when touch it.

- 9 blocks away doesn't trigger it

- Wool doesn't either

- Can't bone meal to grow - Not a plant?

- Not sure how it grows

- Try watering it?

Removal

- Removing the sculk didn't seem to have adverse affects against its growth. It kept growing, but not exponenially like the end stone did.

- I have removed all of it from the Archive, but will continue to check and make sure it hasn't returned.

Details - Sculk

[ Sketch of a sculk block ]

The majority of the sculk is a dark teal. It's speckled with brighter spots, possibly spores? They seem to pulse

Details - Vein

[ Sketch of a sculk vein ]

Veins grow on and around sculk. It's similar in appearance to the main sculk

Details - Sensor

[ Sketch of a sculk sensor ]

The sensor is the strangest part of the sculk. It appears to detect sound or movement (unsure which one) within 9 blocks. When detected, it activates with light and a clicking sound.

Wool prevents activation.

Sick?

- I've started coughing a lot. And my eyes look different?

- Caspian has it now too...

- Unsure if the sculk is the exact cause, but if it is... I got rid of all the samples I could have used to test it.

Test Trials

- A new sample of sculk has been collected from under our house and the beach.

- I want to test these sculk for spore release. I think spores might be what is causing the illness.

- Tests to try:

  - Sculk alone

  - Burning the sculk

- Tests to try to see if I can find a safe disposal method:

  - Soul Fire

  - Lava

Trial Results:

- Sculk alone: None

- Fire: Mid

- Soul Fire: High

- Lava: Mid

- Shieker: Low

- Self Sample: Mid

Future testing

If heat makes it worse, how does cold effect it?

How can we put sculk into a potion if we're to make some kind of cure if we can't heat it without it releasing spores?

Test to try:

- Powdered snow

- Ice

- End?

- If the end portal is still open... do we just dispose of it there?

- Could a respiration potion effect be created?

Illness Update

- I started coughing up blood. The potions must only be helping with symptoms, not the source of the problem

Mirror

- Jamie and Momboo said they didnt see anything like the mirror at the beach.

Bedrest

- I've been put on bedrest for a few days after passing out in the Nether from my cough... It seems heat really makes it worse.

- My dreams are awful. Blends between Enderian and my own nightmares. I keep needing to be woken up from them. I'm glad they do. I don't want to stay there.

Bedrest Update

- It's been a few days. My throat doesn't feel as awful. I think rest helped at least

Destruction of the Pen

- Picasso and Da Faaxi's pen has been destroyed. The remains had sculk veins growing on it.

- Picasso was outside the house. Da Faaxi is... missing.

- Something similar happened to Jamie's tower

- Possibly Ocie's as well. Where did the rest go?

Thermal tests

- Sherbert recommended trying to freeze and then shatter it

- Centross has a piece out in the ice. It doesn't seem like it grew there

Thermal Test Results

- Success! If sculk is frozen (powdered snow works), it becomes rigid. It may even kill it as the sensor and shieker stopped moving when frozen

- Once frozen, dropping an anvil on it shatters the sculk into a powder

- This powder can be burned near instantly, which means no spores are released!

- Athena is building a machine to automate this process. Once it is complete, we have a safe way to neutralize the sculk!

Inhaler?

- Could something like an inhaler help? How do you even make that...
