IS5 will be about gnosis just doing nerd shit i'm calling it now

[Phantom has fallen into Gnosis' trap! Which is: asking him about his special interest (science). Now he will talk for 8 years.

He's actually standing by the bones, trying to take scrapes off the surfaces with a knife. These scrapings go into a plastic bag for safekeeping for now.]


A full analysis is difficult at this time. I didn't bring everything I would have liked out here with me. That, and I don't have access to any radiograph technology, nor to a proper spectrometer for radiometric dating...

[thanks that's super helpful buddy]

Theoretically, I could ask Ydalir for one, and these scrapings will prove more useful. That said, the bones are dry enough to where I don't believe this creature could have been alive within either of our lifespans. It's so massive that it makes me think it could be thousands of years old. Megafauna like this would struggle to live in the age of man, as there's nothing big enough for them to eat, unless they were consuming millions of smaller organisms every day.

[Phantom sweetie I'm so sorry]
