''Ethan knew he was onto something. During an ambush earlier this month, he carried a radiometer, as he was entering an area bombed several times, therefore being flooded with radiation, and needed to know when to leave. But when he approached a gem, he found a surprising discovery: gems emitted a type of ultraviolet radiation. He called it "Pierce Radiation". After several experiments, he found that all gems emitted Pierce Radiation, and it was always ultraviolet. Another interesting thing he found was that the wavelength of the radiation was always between 208 and 213 nanometers. A few days later, he made an even more astonishing discovery: when gems used warp pads, they emitted Pierce Radiation in higher-than-usual amounts, thus activating the warp pad. If he could feign the Pierce Radiation just right, he could activate the warp pad and have access to all of the gems' arsenal. It was difficult to get it just right, but he believed every attempt led him closer to victory. He could feel it in his bones, the pure anticipation racking his nerves. Just a few more lines, and it would be done.''
