"Hello..hello? Is the camera rolling? Oh!!"
"This is Gina Grangert reporting live."

"....move that way a little bit so I can get a better view."
"Better?"
"Yeah, but try not to move to much."

"We're standing here live to report to you about a strange black
luster coated liquid which began to seep up just 2 days after the birth
of the nation. This supposedly, "Devil's Rain" began to spring up the
harsh Umac snow, and in just 4 hours, flooded 40 miles of snowland
in the region. It seems like its growing at a fast pace."

"According to the Department of Defense, they have not stated anything
about the situation but report that they are doing the best of their
ability to handle the situation."

walks over to estranged farmer...

"Sir, what are your thoughts on this?"
"Hmm, seems like we need a clean up, it's tearing up my entire Gerpa fields!"

- Public Attention Announcement

Migmac Kong speaks...

"This uncanny substance, which flooded the Umac tundra,
covering a span of 500 miles of snow terrain, has killed 43 citizens, 50 Windshoe tribe members, and injuring 79 others.
But, my people, this substance, .....might actually save Asiom from a future economical and energy disaster."

....reporters begin to murmur to one another

"Mr. Kong! How does this .."thing" become a solution to our economical
and energy crisis? It has already killed 93 people and mucking up our
land! How can you profess such a claim!" exclaimed Protahmac Nagret.

"I am glad you have asked that."

"Krumac, the liquid, if you will."
"Ah, thank you."
"Now, as you see, I am currently frosting the liquid. Watch carefully."

....audience becomes intrigued

"Now, the liquid has transformed into a solid." Here is where the true
spectacle arrives."

Migmac inserts the solidified substance into a lightbulb and suddenly
lightens up.

"Wow!"
"Amazing! And with no form of conductivity!"

"The reason for this is, thanks to the extensive research of the Asiom
National Science Lab, because the substance, which we call, Galentine,
is a abundant metal found in the ground. It takes shape of whatever
you make of it, sort of like a play-doh, but metal and highly conductive"

"We are still researching more about Galentine and what it makes up,
so that we might be able to solve this for the near future."

"All we can accumulate right now is that Galentine is
found underneath cold-weathered soil, mostly found in
tundras and snow lands. We are still currently quarantining the area,
until the overflowing can subside and we can store this in a safe deposit
for use all around the land."

"That is all for now. Thank you for your time."
