Elias wasted no time. The moment Kaelen's brilliant idea of a neutron star skeleton clicked into place, he was off, his mind already spinning through complex calculations. Kaelen, still buzzing from the excitement, watched him from the bedside as holographic displays of energy equations and material densities sprang to life around him in the room. He moved with a focused intensity, but there was a new, almost eager quality to his movements.
"This is big, Kaelen," he said, not looking up from a swirling diagram of atomic compression. "Really big. For my bones to literally become as dense as a neutron star, the energy involved… it's staggering. It's not just about making them hard; it's about crushing atoms so completely that their very components merge. Think of it like taking all the air out of a giant stadium until it shrinks down to the size of a single golf ball, but you have to push with the force of an entire galaxy to do it."
