“Hey…Gnossian?  What’s going on? Someone talk to me!”

‘The blackout may have been caused by the EMP wave created when we fired the gun. It will take some time for the systems to come back online.’

‘That’s insane, what would happen if we didn’t hit the target?’

‘Oh stop being such a wuss, this is a man’s romance!’

‘You’re crazy Gnoss! Did you already know in advance that this would happen?’


‘Naturally, we are firing an energy projectile based off pair annihilation, so it’s normal for it to be followed by an EMP shockwave. The mass of positron is coated with protection magic and then accelerated att 99.9999% the speed of light. By the time it reaches the target it has already created thousands of tiny black holes which last for but microseconds. It’s based off Hawking’s radiation theory which would swallow any matter in its vicinity.

‘I have no idea what you’re saying but I just know that you are crazy Gnoss! The next time you have another of your brilliant ideas make sure to explain it properly first.’

‘Well, all’s well that ends well right?’

‘Fine, another 20% mileage points for you, you’re almost there….’

‘Don’t do it! Oh look, it seems like Gnossian is coming back to us.’

wooong! Chalcak chalcak! Zeeeing

Valen had finally regained power.

“Ah Johra! How are you doing? Gnossian’s persona is malfunctioning and won’t be usable in the near future.”

“Lena?”

“Right!”

“ Extinction? Worst naming sense.”

“Why? It sounds cool!!”

“Can you check what was the result of this crazy weapon?”

“Yes, I just received some feedback from the Gnostic Satellites, and found that due to the micro black holes, all matter within a 100,000 km radius of the point of impact has disappeared.”

“100,000 km huh? That’s insane… almost 100 times the size of earth and it has all vanished?”

“The enemy was too dispersed so it was the only way to get them all in one fell swoop. Unfortunately some of Saturn’s moons have been lost because of their proximity to the enemy ships.”

“This is such a scary result….”

“No enemies are left, not even a speck of dust in fact.”

“OMG”

‘Don’t fret so much Johra, this weapon won’t ever be used without your explicit permission.’

‘Stop talking nonsense now Gnoss, you’re even the one who created this thing!’

‘The only way I knew of penetrating their energy shields was using pair annihilation and the black holes. What else was I supposed to do? If I failed, it was in not properly controlling the AoE.’

‘But… would that work against a planet say Earth’s size?’

‘Of course, even if it were a planet 100 times the size of Earth, it would still disappear in one shot. If it were 1000 times, it would sustain serious damage ’

‘Figure out a way to control the scope of this new weapon, I don’t want to be the cause of a Galactic disaster. ’

‘OK?’
