"They owed me a favor, and they're interested in this tech too, so they helped process and manufacture a lot of ready-made samples."
"As for how they ended up in your hands... ever heard of quantum tunneling?"
"? I remember that macroscopic objects can't pass through walls."
"But I never said I was making them pass through walls made of macroscopic matter."
"? You mean..."
"I recorded them into Cyberspace using quantum locking. Because the barriers in Cyberspace are extremely low, once the locks are released, they either explode and disintegrate like I did, or collectively tunnel out of here."
"But that process burns a ridiculous amount of energy, the cost is insanely high. So most things can only exist as technical documentation, not as physical objects. That's why the stuff you can draw from the pool is all tiny; you basically never see any large structures."
