- Tell me, Lisa. Doesn't that sound odd to you?
- That is to say? Lisa asked, intrigued.
- We are both on this ship when it should be full of people, and for company alone we have this scientist coming out of nowhere. And then your magical field story. I have the impression that something strange is happening on this boat.
- I agree with you, Niko, but I think we should wait a little longer. I am sure that once this stuff gets out of the water, everyone will come back.
- Why do you say that?
- A big asteroid that falls in the middle of the ocean without disintegrating into the atmosphere, believe me it does not happen every day. I agree with you. Strange things are happening here.

On the way to the back deck, Sofiya, who had listened to the two journalists' conversation, pulled a sensor out of her pocket, and read the displayed values. The rate of radiation was normal, but not the magical saturation, which was approaching 120%. This rate is harmless to a normal human, cut off from magic fluxes because of the lack of sensors on his skin, but an Ossar would immediately feel it.

Sofiya, intrigued, called Pyotr immediately.
- Pyotr, it is Sofiya, she said in an undertone so as not to be spotted. Tell me if you find anything on a certain Lisa Dufour in our archives. See if she has an Ossar or elven ancestry.

Pyotr returned the name of Lisa to the Imperial Archives database but received no reply. He reminded Sofiya, intrigued.
- No, no names in our files, are you sure you were not mistaken?
- No, there is no mistake. Are you sure we have nothing on her?
- Absolutely nothing, the computer is formal. Why, what is bothering you? He asked, surprised.
- It happens that apparently, a lambda human being suddenly became sensitive to magical fluxes, that is what happens. She said, slightly upset.
- Ah, I am beginning to understand. Said Pyotr. You think it was the influence of the stone that transformed her? Or do you think she was already sensitive before boarding?
- I do not know, that is why I asked you the question. I did not want to reveal anything to your brother until you knew what was going on.
-Of course, if humans being start suddenly to possess magical powers before the start of Phase II, it's going to complicate matters a lot … Pyotr said thoughtfully. And the sensors, they say what?
- Normal radiation and saturation at 120, why?
- Saturation to 120, you say? This may have an impact on some sensitive people. It will be necessary to check the labs in the next days, if scientists become sensitive when handling samples, it is likely to gossip.
- It is certain. She said, more and more embarrassed. But now we cannot do anything anymore, humans know about it, and it is only a matter of time before they begin to analyze the pebble and discover the deceit.
- It is certain, I admit that I had a little screwed up, Ivan is not going to be happy ... Said Pyotr, embarrassed. And what about the girl?
- I do not know, do you have any idea?
- I would have one, but given the context, it's a bit risky. You should follow her from a distance. You got a tracer with you?
- No, but I see where you are coming from. If I manage to place it discreetly on her, you can take charge of her surveillance? I might have some work to do with this whole story ...
- Of course, a human without any antecedent that becomes sensitive to magic overnight, I will not miss such an opportunity. Pyotr said mischievously.

After settling the details of the launch with the captain, Sofiya returned to the front deck. Upon arriving, she discreetly placed a metal disk in Lisa's jacket pocket and resumed the conversation as if nothing had happened.

- We will arrive in five minutes and the operations will start immediately, she told the two journalists.
- And you think it will take how long? Asked Niko.
- About an hour. She replied. The block to be recovered is not very large, and it is at a depth of 500 meters. They will try to reassemble it in one piece so as not to damage it. She added.
- Surely it would be a shame to break such a thing, said Lisa. Tell me, doctor, what can you tell us more about this discovery? She asked Sofiya, curious to know more.
- All we know is that an asteroid 3 meters long and 1 meter thick fell yesterday at the end of the day off the Russian coast without causing damage after being partly consumed in the atmosphere. We will probably learn more in the days to come after recovering and analyzing all the debris, and we will keep you informed of the details at that time, she said without taking her breath. Questions? She asked, playing her part to perfection.
- Yes, you say that the object was partly consumed in the atmosphere. Have any other debris been found now? Niko asked.
- Not now, but other research is under way.
- Do you know where the other debris had fallen? Do we know their size? Lisa asked.
- The other debris have all fallen into the sea and are of smaller size, of the order of a few tens of centimeters.
- Do we know when they will be recovered. Niko asked.
- Probably during the day, other ships are on their way and the vessel on which we are going to carry out other dives to recover the other most important pieces.
