The Second Phase finally started after the data was analysed and the puppet was modified sevearl times.
Testing the prototype.
Two more weeks passed.
The puppet, a compact construct designed specifically for controlled vibration output, was placed against a prepared rock sample. Arrays were activated. Energy flowed.
The first attempt failed.
The second shattered everything.
The third produced no result.
The fourth destabilized the structure.
Dozens of attempts followed.
Each one slightly different.
Each one bringing them closer.
And then…
It happened.
A low, controlled hum filled the chamber as the puppet activated once more. The vibration it produced was subtle, almost imperceptible to the ear, but perfectly tuned.
The rock trembled.
Not violently.
But precisely.
A faint crack formed.
Not in the quartz.
But around it.
The surrounding material fractured cleanly.
Separated.
And then…
A single piece of Violet Spirit Quartz detached.
Intact.
Whole.
