Stepping inside the observation station, everything here seems to defy common sense, as if entering a completely different world.
The first thing that catches the eye is the "living" walls.
They appear to be some kind of translucent biological tissues, constantly rippling with subtle waves on the surface.
When Ron's fingertip accidentally touches the wall, the area immediately reacts.
The texture on the surface changes, as if "remembering" his touch.
"Don't be too surprised," Reynolds notices Ron's expression:
"You should have felt it outside earlier; these are 'active building materials,' a major feature of the observation station. They can self-repair, self-adjust, and even identify intruders."
Indeed, as they turn a corner, Ron sees the astonishing capability of these materials.
There is a visible crack on the wall, but it is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
