Marcus raised an eyebrow in interest as he watched her demonstration. And as she said, one of them held up under pressure- he assumed. He couldn't see her threads. Nor could he see the differences between the pieces.
The Force had male and female forms, after all. He seized it and floated both toward him with a murmered, "If I may."
Gently, he probed one, then the other with threads of earth and spirit. In the one that didn't buckle, he detected something. There was a fine lattice work of earth, lacing the metal, creating tight bonds. It reminded him of trellis supports under bridges, strength deriving from the shapes itself, webs of triangles and angled beams.
He squeezed with air, harder and harder, far beyong normal tolerances, watching the lacy atructure struggle to hold its shaoe. Finally, at incredible pressures it buckled. He smiled, not hiding the excitement he felt. It was different than his approach. But the advantage was that either man or woman couls do it. The lattice structure was actual earth, not threads of earth.
"Very well done. How did you come up with the support lattice structure? Mimicing engineering designs? Instinct? Because you're on to something. For it to usable on a large scale, it would have to be taught to others, though. Formalized by engineers so tolerances could be calculated ahead of time. But I think you are correct about application," he said encouragingly.
