'''Stargate Project, Phase 8''' is the eighth phase of the gameplay event [[Stargate Project]]. It begins immediately after completing [[Stargate Project, Phase 7]], when the player is contacted by the '''Andromeda Project Representative'''. The new task focuses on advancing synthetic crystal technology.

== Overview ==
The player is instructed to meet [[Prof. Artemis Toppingbury]] (previously encountered in [[The Trouble with Tiddlets]]) to deliver:
* 1 [[Shielded Zeleon]]
* 1 [[Neubidium Ingot]]

During this meeting, Toppingbury discovers that a focused zeleon laser can charge synthetic neubidium crystals, effectively replicating the unique energy properties of natural [[Tiddlet#Crystal|Tiddlet Crystals]]. However, the laser’s high-energy output emits lethal [[Radiation]], requiring careful containment.

Upon completion of the exchange, the player receives:
* 1 [[Laser Infuser]]
* 5 [[Radiation Blocker]]
* 1 [[Empty Crystal]]
* 1 [[Zeleon Energy Cell]]

This sequence includes a short tutorial introducing the concepts of radiation exposure and containment.

== Objectives ==
To complete Phase 8, the player must:
* Deliver 10 [[Charged Crystal]] to the Stargate.

== Required Technologies and Production ==
Two new blueprints become available:

* [[Empty Crystal Blueprint]]
* [[Charged Crystal Blueprint]]

=== Manufacturing Process ===
To create a charged crystal:
# Craft an empty crystal using the [[Fabricator]] with 1 × [[Neubidium Ingot]] and 1 × [[Precious Metal]].
# Load a zeleon energy cell and the empty crystal into the laser infuser.
# Expose the empty crystal to the zeleon beam under containment using radiation blockers to protect the crew.
::Ensure that an oxygen-supplied spacesuit is available for the working crew member.
# After a short process, the crystal becomes charged and ready for delivery.

Radiation occurs during infusion; crew members must wear protective gear or remain outside the irradiated zone.

== Tutorial: Radiation Safety ==
A short tutorial explains the basics of radiation management:
* Active lasers emit localized radiation zones.
* radiation Blocker tiles absorb and contain emissions.
* Crew exposed to radiation for prolonged periods may suffer health degradation.
* Monitoring via the [[Overlay#Radiation|Radiation Overlay]] is recommended.

Proper containment ensures that production continues safely.

== Lore and Context ==
Phase 8 marks the first formal collaboration between the [[Andromeda Project]] and the Tiddlet research division. The breakthrough in synthetic crystal generation represents a fusion of alien and human engineering principles. Professor Toppingbury’s discovery bridges the gap between biological crystal resonance (as observed in Tiddlets) and industrial Stargate energy manipulation.

== Progression ==
Once 10 charged crystals are delivered to the Stargate, Phase 8 concludes and [[Stargate Project, Phase 9]] begins automatically.

== Notes ==
* Radiation is a persistent hazard until containment is fully established.
* The laser infuser consumes five zeleon energy cells per charging cycle.
