On a whim (who knows why) she clicked on minerals. Frankly she was expecting images of rock faces or something, instead she got a chemical formulae and an image of a lump of the material.
"Well that's odd." she muttered, looking at a lump of graphite.
For a few minutes she skimmed through the lists of chemicals, minerals, liquids, gases and other odd materials. Some she wasn't even sure were real and was sure had elements that weren't on that table in the chemistry class (or maybe she just wasn't remembering it right. Chemistry wasn't her favourite class).
Then she stopped at one odd list.
"Neuro-reactive quasi-crystaline Lectilian Gell." she read off the screen. It had a very complex structure with about five different 'clumps' (were those molecules?) shown, apparently all present in this... stuff. She read the description on it and started to get interested.
"Complex multi-structural, self organising, non-living material...." she muttered, reading high lights of the long text "...self repairing... rapid growth with base materials present... formed from carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, iron, oxygen, and potassium... reactive to EM signatures from nearby neurons... crystalline fracture points simulating synapses... mimicry and response to conscious thought... whoah!"
She wasn't sure she understood it all but it looked like this stuff could change itself into pretty much anything, though slowly, maybe over a few minutes or an hour, and if you were very close your brainwaves interacted with it in some way, maybe even making it a copy of part of your mind... or at least forming something like a mind based on what you were thinking. Heck you might even be able to focus on how someone behaved and get this stuff to BE that person... even if that person never existed before!
At the top right there was a button 'Create' and her hand moved the mouse to hover over it before she realised she'd done it. Should she risk it? It might be dangerous... and could this program actually CREATE anything? It was just a program... right?
