    Apparently the 'No, don't touch that' when Grey was talking about the Ice9 is a reference to the book Cat's Cradle. From what I found online..
    "In Kurt Vonnegut’s 1963 novel Cat’s Cradle, a central plot element is called ice-nine. The substance, created in a lab, was made up of familiar H2O molecules, but they were locked in a novel crystalline structure that froze solid at room temperature. Because ice-nine crystals could spontaneously convert normal water into more ice-nine, the material was dangerous-just licking it would cause all the water in a person’s body to freeze solid. At the end of the book, a piece of ice-nine is accidentally knocked into the ocean, causing all of the Earth’s water to freeze and ending nearly all life on the planet in an instant."

    In diamonds, their molecular structure is based on squares, which causes it to be extremely hard, even to the point that it is considered the hardest material ever, but there was actually a material found from a meteorite called Q-carbon that, while extremely similar to diamond, is actually even harder than diamond. Why? Because instead of having their molecular structure based on squares, Q-carbon’s molecular structure based on, you guessed it, *hexagons*

      But anyways, if you'd be brave enough to plan on getting out, you should consider that squares are easier to mathematically organize and calculate overall, not to mention that hexagons are the definition of inefficient when attempting to convert into and using as a 3d polygon, as opposed to cubes. But the members of the hexagon order are probably going to see this and do unthinkable things to me for telling you this. I've already said too much...
