1121 Not Normal

Max searched the sensor data for signs that the lesser energy beings were becoming more organized while the others worked on repairing and adjusting the ship and its defences to their current situation, and slowly he began to realize that something wasn't right with this layer.

The sensor scans extended to their maximum range, with garbled but somewhat reliable data, which was incredibly useful, but also, not generally possible. The curvature of the planet should have limited them to much less range than this, and unless the data was skewed, this planet had to be the size of a large red star, or completely flat.

The gravity didn't match either of those scenarios, so there was a chance that it was artificially managed, and if they had actually killed the Greater Energy Being, it might have either dissipated or gone into wild fluctuations that would have killed every unprotected life form on the surface.
