Saline

[Natasha]

I think the green Sergeevite mineral is saline. There is a pattern. Lyosha and Shadowstalker handled it the most. Both are powerful psionics. Everyone else, Kolya and the geologist, are not psionics or mages. When in the poessession of psionics or mages the mineral is empowered naturally, otherwise it is inert. Which is why it could not be destroyed in the explosion that killed the witch, but the geologist could get the streak sample; Sergeevite is about as hard as the American copper penny.

Lyosh was the last to touch it. Before him was Kolya, then Shadowstalker, then Koly again, and the witch. The witch is dead. Kolya is not psionic or magick. So after Lyosh was contacted they moved to Shadowstalker.

According to the object read the medallion is a kind of beacon or marker. Because it now locked away in Moscow somewhere by the geologist, the creator cannot find it, and sends the agents to find it... first to Lyosh and next to Shadowstalker.

I think the days of exploding homes are over.

But we have a long way to go yet.

Anything new ever come of this?

[Sophoroto]

I was more wondering what happened to Miss Natasha, Mr. Sasha, and Mr. Kolya?

[Ron Caliburn]

That's another question I want answered.

[Eilonwy Solstice]

I would like to hear that, too.
