Lulu-242 Today

The "Lulu-cough" reported by early miners was identified in 2091 as a form of micro-crystallization within the alveoli of the lungs. Unlike silicosis, the crystals do not merely damage tissue; they integrate with it. In low doses, L-242 exposure can reinforce bone density and tissue resilience. In high doses, however, it leads to "petrification syndrome," where the subject’s soft tissues calcify into a solid, turquoise state. The environmental impact of L-242 leakage in a planetary ecosystem could be catastrophic, effectively "freezing" an ecosystem in a state of un-decaying suspension.
