Lilah hears a scream, and finds only Max's hat near the base of the structure. Max notes a small black visibly obsidian structure near the edge of a cliff, and by the afternoon it has grown to a colossal size. 'Rather than fixing the spider, I had to fix the world around it.' He notes. Max dreamt of a broken mechanical spider in its own universe.

Both of them had their dreams that night: Lilah dreamt of an obscene bureaucracy full of mechanical vidbots(essentially poles with speakers and a monitor with a person's face)that she believes to represent the vast amount of red tape that she had to conquer to bring Ceres to this world. So Max and Lilah decide to go camping in a forest to celebrate their accomplishment. After approximately 100 days of success with the Ceres Project, clean air is becoming a reality for more and more people around the world. Pollution has gotten so bad in this time that the elderly are dying of heat stroke, the sunsets are blood red and it's not just the city having this problem. Given an artifical intelligience, Ceres is capable of sending out trillions of nanobots to locations around the world, scrubbing the pollution out of the air. Similar to Myst, Riven, or other games of that strain, it features several discontiguous locales, all held together by a machine named Ceres.Ĭreated in 2056, Ceres is the machine resulting from Max and Lilah's efforts in nanotechnology.

Obsidian is an adventure game released in 1996 for the PC by Segasoft. The fact that each obsidian source area has a unique assemblage of trace elements has helped archeologists determine trade routes.

There was an active trade going on in obsidian. Native Americans found almost all of the obsidian locations in North America and used the glass for making arrowheads, knives, and other tools. Tiny gas bubbles that have been stretched nearly flat along the flow layers in obsidian generally cause the reflectance of gold sheen and silver sheen obsidian. Very small inclusions of water vapor in the form of bubbles often are trapped in the glass. Black obsidian results from microscopic crystals of minerals like magnetite, hornblende, pyroxene, plagioclase and biotite present in the magma, and microscopic crystals of various types of feldspars may yield the unique blue, green, purple or bronze colors associated with rainbow obsidian. Red or brown obsidian indicates the presence of hematite or limonite (iron oxide). Other colorations occur because of chemical impurities in the magma. The chemical composition changes slightly with each flow, and thus, the obsidian is colored differently. This accounts for the streaking and banding found in many obsidians. It is very viscous, and consecutive flows rarely mix with previous flows. Obsidian magma, when it is on the surface, flows extremely slow. This magma is so thick that crystals are unable to form as the cooling process commences. This results in a thick, pasty, silica rich magma known as obsidian magma.

Sometimes as the rhyolitic magma appproaches the surface and the pressure decreases, the water in the magma is released as steam. Rhyolite cools faster, on the earth's surface, and smaller crystals are formed. Granite cools slowly, far beneath the earth's surface, allowing lots of time for large mineral crystals to form. All are formed when silica rich magma cools to form rock. Obsidian is composed of essentially the same minerals as granite and rhyolite, but the almost total absence of large mineral crystals gives it the unique 'glassy' look.
