Hi there, Hopefully a quick question, I'm looking for an element - presumably a metal - that might be found in the rock of a volcano that might offer some protection from an EMP to a base X metres below the surface. Something that scientist PCs descending through the rock might notice just happens to be super abundant in this locale.
Yes, I'm trying to write up Ashfall III and trying to fix my sentence:
"They
might also notice that they are descending through layers of rock with a high
proportion of iron and xxx."
On the day I just plucked 'cobalt' out of the air and no one questioned it (not that I had much basis for iron but wanted to emphasise the metallic nature, but I wondered if there was an element, likely to be found in such a situation, that would actually make much of a difference?
And does the depth contribute much to the equation? I've currently got my 'base' at 600m down.
Yes, this is supposedly surviving the Maghiz. On Spume, Jump-1 from Darrian.
No worries if this so fanciful it will just have to be 'unexplained', fantastic or a suspension of disbelief, but I just thought I'd check to see if I could root it in a tad more reality.
Cheers
