in the doorway, looks like the walls and floor were gouged out. something was teleported to that spot.
I think a 'materialization site' would be the end point of a teleport. A place where someone of something appeared out of thin air, sent from somewhere else. You can see the damage to the walls and the floors there, where it happened.
That's possible? Sounds crazy.
teleporting usually means the user has a LOT of energy.
This would be worrisome because teleporting mass from one location to another takes a lot of energy. That isn't done lightly. Which means someone who can afford to pay that price had an interest in getting something here very fast. So there's an agent of that power somewhere nearby, likely with some objective it considers high-priority. That's potentially dangerous to us.
looks like whatever caused those holes in the wall and floor isn't something normal. Ask if it's anything we need to watch out for?
I would ask A and C if they know who would have the resources to have materialized something here. Or if they know of anything in the area that might be worth such a foray.
"Does that mean someone teleported here? Those craters, I mean?"
[A]["Close, but not exactly. How do I explain this... Basically, the walls here are made of something we call 'smart materials'. They are made of teeny tiny robots which can be programmed to act like certain materials. It's pretty popular for any kind of construction because you can create power-conduits, doorways or even new walls and floors on the fly. The problem is that they're hackable and if someone knows how to hack them and how to supply the vast energies needed for a transformation, they can materialise all kinds of things depending on the quality of the smart material."]
I think I actually understood that, though it sounds pretty unbelievable.
"Do you know who might have the resources for this? Or why they would attempt it in the first place?"
[A]["I've seen a few materialisations before, but I never figured out who actually caused them. Every single time the product was some crazed monstrosity. maybe whoever is doing it has already fallen to the chaos."]
[B]["Problem is that smart materials have the potential to self-replicate and can be incredibly durable, so while it doesn't look like whatever was materialised here was particularly big, it might have grown in the meantime."]
[A]["Only because it is. But don't you worry. My rifle makes short work of even that kind of opponent."]
[B]["Oh shit! A! Watch-"]
