Station: [42] Alchemy

„Psst! Quiet now, we are about to discuss one of humanity’s great secrets: how to create gold. As a matter of fact, many academics believed they were able to create gold from worthless materials. These people were called alchemists. Rutger von der Horst studied these writings with great passion as well. Experiments behind closed doors with unheard-of ingredients. Usually nothing came of these experiments, except for the rare occasion when a useful medicine was created. The only thing the alchemists were never able to create was gold. However, they did not know what we do today: it is impossible to do so.”
