Random Inspiration (2)
A few scientists came up with various theories about the black grease... "Fossil fuel" does sound like a fitting name. I guess I'll start using this name as well.
Some believe that such fuels also exist on Terra. The only reason we failed to find it there was Originium. The crystal "ate" it all up, supposedly.
I generated another hypothesis... Perhaps we had better fuels on Terra, but they were all "eaten up" by Originium.
Perhaps Talos-II offered a better chance. Maybe we can find better sources of fuel in this place.
