Morie Medallion

The Morie Medallion is a particular type of artwork which combines glistening black biogel and cold, polished metal in a stunning combination often as functional as it is beautiful to behold. Each limbless biogel gummy is held permanently captive in a medallion suspended by a robotic arm. Various glistening black body parts are left exposed and available for physical interaction. Exactly what sort of interaction is possible depends on the parts exposed, and the dexterity of the specific robotic mounting.

Based on an idea doodled by the Princess Morie Nama Feyla, each medallion consists of two separate halves, the inner surfaces of which are coated in a thick layer of glistening black biogel. These will hover toward any nude subject within ten meters, and attempt to close upon their body from either side. Should the medallion be successful, its biogel will first adhere to and then begin to absorb its victim's arms. As it closes in, it will convert the touched areas of the victim's body into biogel, absorbing everything that isn't to be left exposed.

As the halves come within a few centimeters of one another, the biogel will spread over the remainder of the victim's body and convert it into a biogel gummy of the appropriate physical sex. As it closes, the gummy's legs, and any other protruding features, are liquefied and absorbed. Once the sides lock together, they self-weld and can never again be parted in a non-destructive manner. The completed medallion will then hover to the nearest mounting and lock itself in place.

The first completed medallion was crafted from the creator of the medallion system itself, the technical artist Shia Arue. The second was crafted from Princess Morie herself, using the medallion given to her as a 22ndbirthday gift, along with the expectation that she make immediate use of it. Together with two other palace friends, they were all mounted on a single quad-armed, ceiling mounted robot and offered as a diplomatic gift to some unknown foreign leader.

Morie Medallions have since become a fairly common diplomatic gift, though few can claim to be quite as royal in stature as their conceptual inventor. Male and female versions are equally common, though only about a third of completed medallions are of the 'fully interactive' variety. Most diplomats aren't as enthused to receive sexual-diplomatic gifts as the feyli are to offer them, after all.

Basic, unoccupied Morie Medallions can be purchased in almost any style for ¢25,000, for copper and silver versions; ¢90,000, for silver and gold versions; and $200,000 for gold and platinum versions. Luminous side panels are a no-cost option, while other features like luminous arousal meters or awareness level indicators cost between ¢5,000 and ¢20,000 extra.

Morie Medallion mountings vary in form and cost quite widely. A single robotic floor or wall mount runs between ¢5,000 and ¢10,000 depending on specific features, while a quad ceiling mount will run ¢50,000 uninstalled.

For most, the primary means of encountering a Morie Medallion will be in a More Medallion studio at any of the Gelitech Gelariums. As with most things at the Gelarium, access is provided free of charge. Thusly completed medallions become part of the Gelarium's inventory, and are almost always immediately put on display for sale.
