AOI-IOI-098 (DIOMETIUM STEEL)

## ***Standard Containment Measures:***

IOI-098 is to be stored as 62 cast ingots (when not scheduled for use), each of which weighs approximately 10 kg. Ingots of 098 are housed on-site and locked behind level 5 clearance. Said ingots should be distributed at the request of CL-5 or higher personnel with confirmation by the Director (in cases where the Director is unavailable, the Council will decide unanimously). The mass of each contained ingot of 098 must be measured and reported monthly.

## ***In Case AOI is Unaccounted-For*:**

Multiple stashes of 098 (Diometium) exist at various sites across the globe.

## ***Description***:

098 is a dense, radium-based metallic ore substance. In addition, several other known metals are present in its composition, including iron, cobalt, and copper, which collectively make up 16.5% of 089’s mass. It is theorized that there are other substances not detectable by mass spectrometry or other means.. The total mass of 098 on hand is approximately 1.1 to 1.2 tons. 098 has a purple color and oxidizes readily in the presence of water (becoming a darker violet). 098 has a melting transition point of approximately 3272°F (1800°C) and a boiling transition point of approximately 3,000°F (1648°C). It has a density of 6.20 g/cm3 6.76 g/cm3 and qualifies as HRC 39 in a Rockwell hardness test. It exhibits material properties, such as strength, ductility, and workability, similar to platinum. It is an extremely rare ore found only around Catania aItaly nd when combined with titanium, carbon and an as yet undisclosed chemical, the metallic alloy refined from this is called Diometium.

This metallic-alloy is virtually indestructible by civilian means and is capable of absorbing and is capable of absorbing, dampening, and cooling extreme heat or cold. The ore got its name from the Italian words for "god metal (Diomet)", a name given to 098 by civilians after the ███████ event.

## ***Anomalous Properties:***

The base ore emits radiation on a low scale. The short-term effects are not noticeable. The long-term effects cause [REDACTED]. 098 is simply the basis for the alloy known as (Diometium Steel) used by the Foundation.

## ***Acquisition Details:***

1.1 tons of 098 were retrieved from the shores of Catania, Italy on March 4th, 2005 on an expedition requested by Dr. Kel Su Min. Dr. Min learnt of a number of adolescents who had had extreme cases of radiation poisoning. After the primary chunks of ore were found on the shores, Dr. Kel requested an expedition be ordered and hunters sent down to see for themselves. The expedition revealed a large meteorite 120.39 km (74.81 mi) off the coast of Catania. The radium-based meteorite weighs approximately ██,███ kg (█,██ lbs). Spectroscopic and chemical analysis show a composition of over 60% radium, which at normal densities can only account for ██% of the measured weight. Age is indeterminate, but analysis of weathering suggests it has been exposed to the atmosphere for at least ████████ years.
