The engineer returns with the ball of gathered crystallic material to one of the sparse, yet not few GL&M bases not located within the GL&M cluster, a region separate from G-S16.
The giant ball of the crystallic material is ferried with weak gravitometric manipulators into a sort of "Receiving Bay" for automatic reprocessing. Whilst it may be weird, there are some materials that cost much less to reprocess, than gather and process and then install as one'd normally do.
Nevertheless, this activity was to be done automatically, a few checks are marked in boxes, and thus, the automatic scan begins, only for it to conclude with inconclusiveness: Seems like this material isn't in the databse. A manual inspection begins.
The Lizardman engineerr goes up to the rather large ball and extracts a piece, it manipulates it and inspects it, and comes to the same conclusion that he does not know what it is after running it through some smaller, higher precision scanners and tests. Thus, the material is categorized as "Anomalous" and proceeds to another place: The research laboratories, more specifically, the ones within the GL&M cluster: Bleeding-edge technology for research.
There, the sample is devided into multiple smaller branches, and the testing begins: Crystallic growth, its reactiveness with different chemicals and materials, its reaction to energy or the lack thereof, even the multiple fields, Mass Spectometer, Anti-Mass Spectometer (This one checks the material's interdimensional inprint) and everything in-between.
