"And why's that?" Kane asked with a curious tone.
"The floating island generally remains within a certain region, following a circular path of orbit," Rui explained. "There are many regions that are overshadowed and directly below the floating Ajanta island. The states and nations in that region have many misgivings with the floating island."
He turned towards Kane. "They wish to take it down."
Kane frowned. "But why?"
"Because it's an existential threat, of course," Rui replied. "The nations of the region cannot tolerate a giant rock floating that could fall. If it does, destruction is almost inevitable. Not just for any one nation, but all nations in the region will be wiped, out or extremely crippled."
"I mean, if the island has been floating for a long time, then is that a realistic possibility?"
