During a fairly explosive experiment trying to harness the fuel created by her famous theorist father, Dr Copernica “accidentally” discovered a new ore hidden in the walls of her laboratory. Fascinated by what she later named “thermonium”, Dr Copernica saw the potential for a new source of energy in this highly explosive mineral. The only problem was how to extract it. To do this, she created a machine that generated electricity at such high density that it could both stabilize the ore and melt the surrounding rock so as to then be able to retrieve it.
