Azur - Meredium

After the meteorite hit the eastern seaboard 200 years ago, decimating the structures and annihilating the population resident in those parts, a strange mineral started to protrude from the ground. Violent and transparent, it has a thin green substance inside it spread like veins. At first glance it looks organic, a living thing, but scientists have confirmed that the object is innate and does not hold any life at all.

The Azur-Meredium is a highly poisonous as well as an extremely profitable ore. Used to power ground and air vehicles, this mineral is extremely efficient and takes only a tiny quantity to power an automobile for a whole year. That is in its refined form, which comes in tightly sealed containers by the Omega Corporation'''.

In its unrefined form however, The Azur-Meredium mineral is extremely toxic. Even more dangerous, is its habit of sprouting up from the ground at any time. This has created a lot of problems for the people around the world as just being in the vicinity of the mineral can cause the Azur Disease which can cause hallucinations, hemorrhaging of the brain and after prolonged exposure death, maintaining a constant supply of patients for the Jung Medical Corporation'''. Direct naked contact, however will cause instantaneous death.
