Anthuriumite
Anthuriumite is a specialized experimental metal alloy that W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P. Scientists help to develop. This material is said to be used in the containment facilities found in almost all of the organization's various facilities including Dionaea Muscipula and Albitrunca to contain dangerous threats and secure things that need to be protected. It is suspected by many that strange creatures, machines, and other things may be housed by W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P. as captives, but the company has not confirmed these claims. They do admit to working on different alloys and methods of containment, however. They insist that this is necessary to ensure that the criminals held by the agency are properly secured, as well as experiments, devices, valuables, and other important information. They would not like prisoners to be able to escape, nor would they like opposing operatives to be able to get in easily and steal things, so they work tirelessly to develop more secure methods of protecting themselves and others. It is important to make sure that nothing can get in and nothing can get out.
This specialized alloy is said to be one of the strongest and most flexible materials known to science. It is comprised of a variety of metals supplemented by other elements. The ingredients are melted down and mixed together, reinforced with other substances to create a fortified material that seems to be perfect for the agency's needs. The exact recipe has not been publicly revealed. Once built, the structures and objects devised from Anthuriumite are put through various endurance tests, including blunt force from human combat, melee weapons, cannons and other projectiles, lasers, sharp implements, light and temperature exposure, time and weather simulation, and more. They have also tested these materials with natural animals who have no outside influence, along with normal humans who are unaware of the nature of Anthuriumite. In addition to its strength, flexibility, and duribility, Anthuriumite can also be electromagnetically charged which allows for even more uses.
Anthuriumite is known to be used in various Willowisp headquarters locations all around the world. It has also been confirmed that some Computerized Alert Relay Systems are created using this material, along with several spy gadgets, guns, and other such things. It is unknown the extent of the use of Anthuriumite as the average person cannot tell the difference between this alloy and other popular metals. There is also no notable difference in its appearance or construction other than the fact that it is suppsoedly one of the strongest metals in existence. There are supposedly several formulas of Anthuriumite with different weights and compositions. The agency continues to experiment with the recipe and consequently issues more prototypes. Many W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P. employees couldn't care less about Anthuriumite and other experimental alloys being constructed and put to use by Scientists but W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P. prides itself on its cutting edge technologies and credits such for the secure, protected, and fortified environment their organization continues to thrive in to this day.
Commander McCox gives newbies the rundown: Anthuriumite. It's a moutful, and it sounds like some kind of metal from a sci-fi superhero or something, but it's some nice stuff. It's nothing TOO special, just an experimental alloy that Scientists have been working on for quite some time here at W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P.. The average person won't be able to tell the difference between it and something like steel or something. It looks nice and shiny. It feels smooth and cold to the touch. And I hear it's practically invincible. Well, it can be destroyed with the right weapons, but it's some tough stuff. Different grades of it are used for different things, same with most other metals. Like, you can have an insulated tumbler and a toilet handle both made of steel. The same with this. The thing that makes Anthuriumite Anthuriumite is a special, secret ingredient--or maybe more than one--that they haven't told anybody about. Many people aren't aware, but a lot of average stuff around headquarters is made of Anthuriumite. Desks, tables, heck, probably the refrigerators in the breakrooms. They have a lot of versions of this metal and each of them have their own special uses. Some are even magnetic. I'm sure most C.A.R.S. are made of it, too. And a lot of the weapons you've probably seen around here. Like I said, there's nothing too special about it, but there is a difference. The average stuff you see around here made of it's likely the lower grade Anthuriumite. But the real tough stuff is only used on top-secret projects. I guess they mainly use it around here to test and see how long the stuff stands up to normal wear and tear. I wonder if I can get them to make some golf clubs out of it. That would be a good excuse to send me on a golf trip. ...and, you know, a good way to test the material, of course, yeah.
Color
Anthuriumite is typically silvery grey as most metals, but it can be polished, dyed, painted, and coated to create different designs and effects.
Hmmmm, I feel like Commander McCox may not be the best golfer if he needs nigh-indestructible golf clubs. A fun read as always Wordi, thanks for sharing
