After a moment of tenderness, William finally released Halsey from his embrace and looked out the window, saying, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's head back to the room and rest."
"Wait a moment," Halsey said, sitting back in her office chair and operating her computer.
"?"
Seeing this, William half-knelt beside her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Be patient~"
Halsey reached out and playfully tapped William's nose, then used her mouse to open a new folder, pulling up a file named 'Alloy'.
"Click-clack-" Double-clicking it, the file's page appeared on the screen.
Its title was 'Telekinesis Interruption Alloy'.
The file then contained dense data and analysis, as well as accompanying pictures of the Martian surface and more.
"Telekinesis… Interruption?" William slowly stood up after seeing the file's title, muttering the words again.
"Yes," Halsey looked up at William and explained, "The Telekinesis Interruption Alloy was first discovered on January 2nd of this year, in the Valles Marineris on Mars, excavated by a group of miners affiliated with our company.
After that, Colonel Victor, who is responsible for all matters on Mars, reported this incident to me."
As she spoke, Halsey shifted her gaze to the screen and continued to explain to William, "It is a non-man-made, but perfectly proportioned… natural alloy."
William nodded silently, feeling that the alloy's name sounded familiar.
He then asked, "Since it's called the Telekinesis Interruption Alloy, you must have conducted quite a few experiments… right?"
"That's right, we used some D-class personnel," Halsey said nonchalantly.
"Used some…" William's forehead began to subtly bead with cold sweat.
Halsey's expression reminded him that his wife was by no means a 'kind' person…
Of course, this only applied to the D-class personnel, who were composed of scumbags.
At this point, Halsey stopped teasing William and, pointing at the screen, smiled, "Alright, its properties and anomalies are all recorded in this file."
"Okay."
William wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, then moved a chair from the study's coffee table and sat beside Halsey to read the file together.

Project: Telekinesis Interruption Alloy.
Description:
The main components of the project are platinum and iridium, with a mass ratio of 62% and 20% respectively. The remaining 16.5% is composed of three metals: iron, cobalt, and copper.
The final 1.5% is a substance that cannot be detected by mass spectrometry, observed under a microscope to have a lattice-like structure.
The project's melting point is approximately 4500 degrees Celsius, its boiling point is approximately 9000 degrees Celsius, and its density is 6.76 grams per cubic centimeter.
Note: The metal with the highest melting and boiling points on Earth is tungsten, with a melting point of approximately 3400 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of approximately 5900 degrees Celsius.
However, the project's density is less than that of tungsten metal.
.
Appendix One:
The project was discovered on January 2, 2015, in the Valles Marineris on Mars.
Subsequently, miners affiliated with Umbrella, under the direction of Colonel Mihail Victor, proceeded with excavation and extraction.
However, within three weeks of the project's discovery, miners began to successively exhibit absurd behavior and a lack of communication skills.
Upon learning of this situation, Colonel Victor immediately halted the extraction of the project and reported the incident to Dr. Halsey.
Within one week of the halt of extraction, all previously affected miners returned to normal, with no adverse reactions.
Given that the project can affect humans who have long-term contact with it, it is classified as an anomaly.
As its true properties are unknown and it has not caused any casualties, it is temporarily classified as Safe.
.
Appendix Two:
January 30.
Dr. Halsey, leading Spartan Black Team, and Captain Hicks, leading the 'Guardians' Marine Corps, transported 100 kg of the project to the Space Containment Center.
The plan was to use containment objects and detained D-class personnel to conduct thorough research and analysis on the project.
Experiment ①:
Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Mack, responsible for all matters at the Containment Center, prepared two rooms, each 50m x 50m x 5m in length, width, and height, in the middle section of the Containment Center.
Each room was equipped with bright incandescent lights, and 1kg and 10kg of the project were placed in the exact center of each room, respectively.
Then, within a fixed range of each room, five small glass rooms were successively set up.
The glass rooms contained simple beds, as well as washing and toilet facilities.
A total of 10 D-class personnel participated in the experiment.
The D-class personnel were escorted by technical and security personnel to reside in the glass rooms within the experimental rooms, and different personnel would provide them with three meals daily.
After three weeks of experimentation, it was concluded that the project's influence range had no direct connection with its mass, and the maximum radius of the project's influence on humans was 5m.
Furthermore, the project does not cause permanent effects on humans, further confirming its classification as Safe.
Experiment ②:
Given the project's special properties, which include affecting human communication and comprehension, Dr. Halsey hypothesized that the project possessed a 'telekinesis interruption' function.
Therefore, Dr. Halsey used the brought project to create a batch of 'telekinesis interruption hats' similar to safety helmets.
The experimental subject was a special containment object, 'Cult Get Out'.
The peculiarity of 'Cult Get Out' is that when humans come into contact with it, make eye contact, or interact with it in various forms, they develop extreme worship and physical mutations towards it.
However, its peculiarity is ineffective against Umbrella employees who have signed non-disclosure agreements.
February 21.
'Cult Get Out' agreed to cooperate with Experiment ②.
Experimental materials: 3 D-class personnel wearing telekinesis interruption hats.
The 3 D-class personnel were successively escorted to the containment room of 'Cult Get Out' and engaged in close contact and conversation with it.
The experimental results showed that the 3 D-class personnel wearing telekinesis interruption hats were not affected in any way.
Thus, the project was confirmed to possess a telekinesis interruption effect.
.
Appendix Three:
It has been confirmed that employees who have signed non-disclosure agreements are also not affected by the project.
For this reason, miners affiliated with Umbrella on Mars exceptionally signed non-disclosure agreements and carried out excavation work.
The extracted project is stored in a warehouse sixty kilometers north of Mars City, guarded by the Marine Corps stationed on Mars.
However, miners involved in the excavation work and Marine Corps personnel stationed at the warehouse must undergo mental examinations at least every twenty-one days to confirm they have not been harmed by the project.

…
In the study.
After reading the file with Halsey, William finally understood why the alloy's name sounded familiar to him.
This was because the Telekinesis Interruption Alloy possessed by Umbrella was similar to SCP-148, or rather, Telekill Alloy.
However, SCP-148's effect on humans is permanent, and it also has many unknown properties.
In comparison, the Telekinesis Interruption Alloy is much more stable.
"William," Halsey said to William, "If you encounter an anomaly that affects human minds or causes destruction through telekinesis, this alloy will prove remarkably effective."
