Chapter 1:The Ikatangan Story

Ikatanga was fed up.He spent weeks researching the medical properties of twignite.Tanga-Bunga stepped forward.''I realized that if we had vespene gas squeezed into a vacuum with neutrons and aimed it at a piece of unanlium sulphate(UlSO4)you might get unaakium vespanium(UaVpS7)one of the key compounds of twignite,'' he explained.Unaakium was much more stable than unanlium and was even discovered to have medical properties.''We need to treat soldiers in battle with the aliens,'' Ikatanga stated.''I just don't think it's enough to ionize 322Ul to make 315Ua using vespene gas and leave it at that.'' ''What are they talking about?'' little Igia asked Twig. ''They're looking for a new compound,'' he replied.''What type?'' asked 10-year-old Ikia.''Interesting,that one.Uncle Tanga-Bunga is talking about superheavy elements.'' ''Superheavy elements!Like in my wand?'' Ikia whispered.''Sorry,but I need to get on with my research.'' So off he went,and Igia and Ikia whispered to each other.
