Arkoral is a substance that features in Brink.

Overview

Arkoral was a genetically modified form of coral developed in the early 21st century to be used in the construction effort on the original parts of the Ark. This genetically modified species of coral trapped C02 and was noted for its stink. Amongst its qualities included it being more durable than steel, lightweight and did not degrade quickly due to exposure water. The Founders were known to had preached it for being a miracle material. It smelled of fish though it was more bearable once it dried. Contact with Akoral led to the seeds being placed on Humans and it was not able to be washed off completely. Thus, those exposed to it were scared and it stained their bodies. Feasibility tests on the early strains of Arkoral and conducting experiments to imrpove upon it. This included reducing seeding time, making it faster, using monofilament to increase tensile strength, and making it more flexible. During the construction of the Ark, the Arkoral plants worked around the clock in order to create enough buouant accomodation and attempted to design simpler Arkoral pontoons in order to build new Pelgos vastly faster.

In the personal journal of Joseph Chen, it was revealed that the Akoral strain was actually becoming sterile and dying out leading to the substance breaking down. This had drastic consequences for the Ark as it meant that it along with the related structures were beginning to decay. Chen ultimately decided to keep his findings secret and attempted to find a means to solving the problem. He was noted to had informed the Founders of dozens of different ways about the problems with Akoral but never revealed his findings as he felt that they would blame him.
