Of all of the possible outcomes, Ves never expected this to happen.
Where was his artifact?
Floating in the place of his latest masterwork was a human girl, or least something that appeared human.
The workshop's scanners automatically went to work. They scanned her body and her garments with meticulous care, but they had clear problems with detecting anything meaningful.
Had the girl inherited the properties of Solus Gas impregnated in much of its materials?
Whatever.
Ves did not need to gather any data to confirm his suspicions. She was floating right in front of him. He could use his eyes to form his own judgment.
This was not a falsehood.
The artifact somehow acquired a fully functional human body. None of it was an illusion. Everything was real.
Of course, her body did not conform to a baseline human standard. Instead, everything was infused with E-energy, reminding him of the physique of a primordial human.
