[b]Equiis Pact Laboratories[/b]
Black Marble went about is usual day. Checking on the status of projects and such. He was still surprised, he had gone from designing cybernetics to replace limbs, to helping develop Synths and modify DNA and create new strands of DNA. He took a look at one of the more experimental projects, refereed to as the flesh. The cultures of most Equiis Pact nations required the burials of the dead, so the scientists got clever when they wanted to create what the Triarians refereed to as True Synths. It was a white liquid, completely blank of all genetics, and awaiting new traits to be filled. This substance, while still not ready for use, could be very valuable in the manufacture of True Synths, and even opened up the possibility of creating whole entire species. He smiled, he loved to as a scientists see the advancement of his nation and the Equiis Pact, and this was one of the many examples of it.

While not as familiar with it he headed down to the Dark Energy labs. It was a place where they were trying to find the right way to fully control the mysterious energy, and hopefully develop it into a very valuable power source. Through studies of Elerium they had learned that the Aetherii had only a small amount of Dark Energy available at any given time. Using the small amount of Dark energy they enriched the Elerium with it, while not as powerful as full on dark energy reactors it was a lot better then just regular. With there knowledge of manipulation of Elerium and Drac Dark Energy control they were refining the method, and soon a fully safe and powerful reactor, along with the ability to generate Dark Energy for use, would soon be available.
