The bluish glow reflected faintly against his coat, and he could already imagine Atom's systems reinforced by such a resource.
Diego cleared his throat. "Sir Kai, we know what you're thinking. This ore is rare, and it's powerful. We're not asking for Survivor Medals or Energy Cores. Instead, we want something practical. Something we've seen with our own eyes."
"A trade? Then let's talk. Tell me more about it…" Kai replied.
Santiago clasped his hands and replied. "The Atmospheric Water Generator. The one your shelter uses."
The crowd around them stirred. Vera's eyes widened.
Steven muttered… "No wonder they kept looking at it. They're really interested…"
Kai's smile was calm and nodded. He knew how valuable it was, and it wouldn't be surprising that they wanted it.
