The energy readings emanating from it are off the charts. The supercharging potential that this sapphire could offer is incalculable.
LYME: (BALLOON)163Please respect copyright.PENANAkSPcQCmFv0
Great, we've discovered that it's just another battery for your machines. I thought that it would be something more extravagant.

LYME: (BALLOON)163Please respect copyright.PENANAdnBbqu3bEv
Just because you work with someone doesn't mean that you have to like them but if it's official I'd be willing to at least tolerate her. She's too headstrong for my liking to be honest.
