Chapter 7: Echoes Of A New Dawn

The day of reckoning arrived. The sky bled crimson as the celestial body loomed closer. With a collective breath, they activated their device, a network of energy-channeling crystals aimed skyward. A blinding light engulfed them, followed by a deafening silence. When the dust settled, they looked up. The celestial body had been diverted, its course altered just enough to miss Kepler-186f. A cheer erupted, a sound of pure, unadulterated joy. They had survived. As they gazed upon the alien landscape bathed in the gentle light of their new sun, Nova knew this was just the beginning. The echoes of Earth would forever resonate within them, but Kepler-186f was their new home, a canvas for a new future, a testament to humanity's enduring spirit.
