ED-5 lock configurations are believed to contain a strain of crystallized retrovirus in the 'key', de-crystallizing and infected the 'lock' upon contact with a substrate-layer to cause a benign clasp-formation tumor. The clasp formation is entirely different each time and is practically unbreakable. ED-5 enmatter remains poorly understood by scientists. In fact ED-5 wasn't discovered by a scientist at all, but by an artisan - Eduardo Cinquanto - who discovered its strange reshaping properties whilst carving pieces of it in his workshop. It is a mystery how the substance 'knows' how to lock and unlock itself when the key is turned, but some attribute this to a kind of underlying sentience. High-Grade ED-5 keys contain only pure ED-5 enmatter, producing the strongest possible clasp-formation 'lock' of all the ED-5 keys. "Go with Haste But nimble be It saps your strength To swim the sea" "An egg you need To end your quest Defeat the foe In which it rests"
