77

The frigate Normandy-SR2.

- Light in the cockpit, Joker," Shepard said. By now, everyone was ready, and Shepard, Tali, and Liara were back in the cockpit for a proper approach. We were already in the Reaper's mass effect field, so no breeze blew us around.

- I never thought anyone would install headlights on a frigate that could move," Joker said, switching on the headlights to illuminate the cockpit. Immediately we saw that there was no one in it. No one at all. Everything was turned off, doors open, and not a soul. Not even blood. And I was not fond of that at all.

- Yeah. Shepherd said.

- Just a minute," Tali interrupted the Captain, "Light the airlock, please." Joker quickly complied and shone the light on the airlock, shining it where the escape pods should have been.

- The outer airlock is open, with no pods. The ship's abandoned," I said, and then Susie continued.

- There are no heat signatures on the ship. There's no one there at all.

- Don't tell me that..." Shepard wanted to say something but stopped, remembering Tali. The Quarian squeezed my hand reflexively. I didn't refuse her.

- Kila, help them.

- Docking is complete. You may begin," Joker said as he docked at the airlock. Thankfully, Cerberus had time to build bridges, an airlock, and other useful things. I started to weld the airlock, but suddenly I heard a rustling. On the other side.

- Wait," I said, raising my rifle but keeping my welding machine on. Everyone immediately raised their weapons, took off the safeties and stood so as not to interfere with each other.

- How many? Shepard asked me briefly.

- I didn't know, but there'd be about ten," I continued to slash at the door, and five seconds later, the door opened, and the human huskies came barreling at us. I immediately jumped to ours, and everyone opened fire on the crowd of blue zombies. The first huskies were practically vaporised by the number of lasers, the second ones fell to the floor, the third ones tripped over them, and they were trampled by the fourth ones. Still, then they fell from the shots, and everything started again. It went on like that for seven seconds. Everyone had everything discharged in those seconds, but no one was using the biotics yet.

- Thirty-seven Huskies. Good. I said. As we passed the corpses, we spotted a Spawn that had been accidentally killed by our barrage of fire.

- What the fuck is that?" Zaid asked, looking into the brat's eyes.

- It was human," I replied briefly. I couldn't see Zaid's face from behind his helmet, but I was sure he wanted to pounce on the Reaper creature.

In fact, everyone now had closed-circuit breathing suits. Everyone's armour had been enhanced to resist compulsion. Apparently, this had been done on the Quarian very quickly, not caring about the consequences. The Reaper just needed to prevent himself from being cut open and taken apart bolt by bolt. He must be out of his mind by now, hanging in orbit for so long with no entertainment. It's okay to be a space invalid, but what can you do if you don't have an extranet? So he found his own entertainment; it came to him; it was a sin not to use it.

After a few metres to another door that led to the Reaper, we, and the whole complex, were shaken so violently that we all almost fell. Except for me, hehe. However, I managed to grab Tali, Shepard, Liara, and the rest I didn't see. I was in the front row.

- Shepard, are you okay?" Joker said excitedly over the comms.

- Yes," the Captain replied, "What was that?

- The Reaper activated the kinetic shield," Susie replied, "It's a good thing we got away from it, or we would have been pinned between the shield and the hull.

- Will we be able to get through it?" Shepard was still asking my daughter and Joker questions.

- Yeah, it'll take some space travel, but I'll get you out. Legatus' buddy's coming in a couple of hours. He's been hanging around.

- Buddy? Shepherd turned off the comms and turned to me.

- Yeah. We'd have to destroy the core to drop the Reaper, but then we'd go with it to the gas giant. So we'll take the data, and Nargul will send this thing on a long flight.

- Well, that's the best option," agreed Shepard, "All right, let's get ready.

When we opened the door, we saw the inside of the Reaper. Yeah, they didn't exactly care about the inner beauty of a Reaper. It's all so-- Gloomy, black, tubular. Is everything made of tubes or what? Right now, I'm glad I'm in a geth, not a reaper. I realise, of course, that I was here at the behest of some Higher Powers, whom I sometimes cursed quietly, but still, now I want to thank them for getting me at least into a geth. Because if I'd been a Reaper, I wouldn't have Tali.

- Is this the terminal?" Shepard's voice interrupted me as we approached the terminal.

- Yeah, just a minute." I answered and quickly hacked into it.

[Hey, how old is your daughter?

[Fifteen. She'll be issued a costume soon. We're looking forward to it. My friend, Girg, has a son who's getting a costume soon. We decided to celebrate together. A double celebration.

[Wait a minute, Girg is a friend of mine; we got our costumes on the same day. Your daughter's already on the Pilgrimage, but I don't remember how old she is.

[Quarian]:- Yes... Yes, that's right... But then, how would I know Girg. I mean, we're... We were born on different ships.

[So we share the same memories?

[Kila, how is that possible?

- The Reaper's work? Zaid asked.

- Yes. I answered, and then Shepard came to me.

- Could there be survivors?

- You wouldn't dream of it," I said, when suddenly we heard a growl from under the platform we were standing on. "Here comes the bread and salt. We're being greeted. - Everyone immediately started looking for targets and found them immediately. In another second, everyone opened fire on the creatures coming out from under the floor. I wasn't left out. A shot and a husky took a laser to the head. Shot, and the second Husky got the same fate as the first. A shotgun blast from Rex's shotgun and the Husky's head explode like an overripe watermelon. Grant keeps up with his mate and blows the Husky's head off. Tali and Liara use pistols, as there is no time to use biotics, and the distance needs to be longer. Zaid was also shooting at his own pleasure, and Taine and Kasumi went into stealth and shot with pistols or were like our Krogan football players.

- Shepard shouted, and we all moved forward, shooting at the Huskies climbing out to their doom, but there were only humans so far. Or the Quarians are being remodelled as well. It's entirely possible.

And suddenly, the Huskies are gone. Just like that, it never came out again.

- It's weird," Garrus commented.

- I guess they didn't expect this," Rex said.

- We have a defence against the suggestion, and those huskies were here just in case, so there should have been a surprise effect.

- All right, let's get to the core," Shepard said, and the group moved on. I led the way, Rex and Grant followed behind me, and then Shepard and the girls, watching the platform's sides for Huskies, Mordin, Thayne, Zaid and Garrus, followed close behind.

Suddenly a husky ran out in front of me, but at the same second, a shot flew into his head, followed by two more huskies being shot through and through. Then it went quiet.

- Sniper. Good." Grant commented.

- Legate, check round the corner. Who knows..." Shepard ordered, and I strode forward as quietly as I could. As I approached the corner, I slowly peeked around it. No one was already there. However, the area with the pile of crates was much larger than in the game, but there were still Dragon Teeth behind them. However, there was something else. A Quarian woman. Wounded in the stomach. And alive.

- What is it?" asked Shepard, who was starting to get nervous, like everyone else.

- Hello! Is anyone there? Help!" the Quarian shouted when she heard Shepard's voice.

- Legate! Shepard couldn't take it anymore.

- There's a survivor. A Quarian. Wounded. But it can't be anything. It's got to be a trap.

- Mm, shit, okay. Tali, Rex, Samara and Thayne, go over there. The rest of you cover them." ordered Shepard, who knew something was wrong, but she couldn't leave her wounded. As mentioned above, the individuals carefully but quickly went through the crates, approaching the Quarian while looking around. The others, however, took up a position on the high ground and looked ahead.

- Hey, are you okay?" Tali asked, taking a seat next to the quarian.

- No. I got hit. And tore my suit," the Quarian said, writhing in pain. And I was starting to pick up on something.

- Are there any other survivors? Tali asked.

- Я... I don't know. I blacked out, and I woke up here. What-- What's going on? What survivors are you talking about?" the quarian asked, and I couldn't take it anymore.

- Shepard, I'm right. There are dozens of creatures under the platform.

- Get out of there!" Shepard ordered.

- Now!" shouted Tali, who had stopped dabbing panelling on the Quarian's wound and decided to carry her. But a huge hand grabbed the Quarian's leg when they were both on their feet. She lost her balance and fell to the floor, shattering her mask, and the same hand began pulling the Quarian to the platform's edge.

- NO! HELP ME! SAVE ME!" the Quarian screamed at the Reaper as Tali tried to pull her off. But two seconds later, the arm jerked while the roar was heard, and the Quarian flew off the platform. She was probably silent from the pain but still made some sounds. Still, a second later, a spike suddenly rose up and pierced the poor thing through, and she, making some squelching noises, went to the other world. And here on the platform began to appear... the Quarians. Or rather, their huskies.

They looked ugly if nothing else. The head was on the spine, tubes were connected to the back of the head, a spacesuit filter instead of a mouth, triple claws instead of a left arm, the right arm was relatively intact, the thorax was suspended on the spine, the intestines and skin were gone, the legs were prosthetic but still had skin. Some strange drones were flying around each Quarian, with something red glowing inside them. And then the one that killed the Quarian started coming out. We were already hiding behind crates and waited silently for this thing to come out. And it did.

To say that everyone was dumbfounded by the sight of a three-metre ghoul, whose arms and legs were all cut up with prosthetics but still organic, who had a sinister mask and a nice 50-calibre machine gun, is to say nothing. But for all that, there were familiar details in the design. And by checking them against the base, I could comment on the situation.

- Quarian Prime. I've seen it all now." In response, the faces of 20 Quarian, 40 drones, and the muzzle of a QuaPrime machine gun stared back at me.

- Rex, Grant, Liara, Thayne, Tali and Samara each sent out a singularity and blew them up with warps, but it didn't have much effect. These huskies knew how to use cover, so this move only nailed 7 huskies and 11 drones, and the QuaPrime didn't even wobble. Then the Huskies went into action. The drones started firing red beams, penetrating cover, which made Tali and Thayne roll into another cover while the Huskies were firing a particle accelerator. On the other hand, the drones had analogues of the Overlord's gun. And then the QuaPrime opened fire. It just had a mass accelerator, but such an accelerator that the crates were blown to bits. But then he was subdued by Garrus and hit in the head. It didn't kill him, but he hid and started growling wildly. So we began to retaliate. Our barrage of fire was hard to take, but the Quarians were not easy to kill. They had no CNS, no heart, not even a reactor. Well, they did, but there were 10 of them, and each one could supply a Husky. So it was a case of "shoot the beast with everything you've got." That's how it worked. Sure, plasma pistols were good, but they weren't fast enough, and the creatures could jump. And then there were the drones. Those were the real thing.

A rifle shot and the drone explodes. Garrus shoots and rips the Husky's head off, hitting the cervical vertebrae. That worked too, but shooting a laser through the head was futile.

Tali's biotic blast tore the Husky apart; Kasumi used her laser pistols to kill two drones, then threw an overload at a third, causing it to explode. Three shots from Rex's shotgun tore apart another husky, and Zaid took a particle accelerator straight to the chest. The shield came off, but the armour rigged against the accelerator held up.

- Ah, you fucking Legatus," shouted Zaid, who was trying to catch his breath as a drone shot down by Garrus exploded right above him.

- Is that some kind of sarcasm?" I asked as Tali threw two punches at the two drones and nailed them too. "The QuaPrime was out of the fight for some reason and kept muttering something; the Quarian who died in front of us had already joined the Huskies, too, only she didn't have any drones. Shepard threw a grenade at her, which tore the poor thing apart. Now all those Huskies were poor things, and the only thing we could do was kill them. Which we did.

- It's gratitude, damn it!" replied Zaid. Suddenly two huskies jumped out and ran at us, jumping on the crates, but were immediately killed with shotguns by Mordin.

Two drones did break through and tried to fire, but they needed time to load their guns; they couldn't do it on the move but were immediately shot down by Tali and Kasumi's overloads. So that left two huskies and three drones. The latter was taken out by Liara's singularity and warp, and the Huskies were finished off by Shepard and Rex. That left only QuaPrime.

And it didn't take him long, but we were ready. Shepherd, Zaid, me and Rex had our grenade launchers ready.

- Garrus, first you shoot him in the head, then we shoot him, you shoot him again, we retreat, then we blow him up.- Shepard said quickly.

- Yes.- the turian replied briefly. The antimatter in the grenades had been replaced by good explosives, which were much better than dynamite. However, they were made on its basis. The projectiles themselves were rockets, only now they were special. They exploded on my command. And as soon as he came out, we started. Garrus took another headshot, and the grenade launchers started firing. Missiles flew out of the guns, travelled a short distance, and then stuck to the hull of the QuaPrime. When all ten "gifts" from each, that is, forty missiles, stuck to the QuaPrime, Shepard shouted:

- LET'S GO!" everyone immediately burst into tears. Garrus fired another shot at the QuaPrime's head, which sent him to his knee. We all ran into the corridor and hid, and when everyone was against the wall, I activated the fuse.

A loud explosion sounded around the corner and would surely be heard anywhere in Reaper. The blast was about 10kg of TNT. Still, luckily the room was big enough that we weren't stunned too much (besides, we all had armour with special concussion protection and were hiding around the corner), which helped us get away with a lot of shaking. There was no fire, so we didn't see any. - Let's go," Shepard said calmly, and the group moved on.

As we passed the airlock, we saw a huge hole in the Reaper's hull and the weather on the dwarf. It was windy. And then we heard the sound of gunshots, and a husky fell behind us, then the second one. How did they get there? Я... I'm freaking out. They just jumped out from under the platform and shot them in flight. Definitely a goth shot. And I even know who did it. He's the one we're all looking at. The geth was standing up to his full height.

- Commander Shepherd. And just walked away. Turned around and walked away, like a troll or something.

- Who's that? Tali asked.

- Not mine. I answered.

- Then how can he speak. The geth alone are as dumb as warrens," said Tali.

- Well, we'll have to find out, said the Captain.

- And he's got a nice little hole in his belly," said Garrus.

- Believe me, the geth have been through worse than that," said Tali, and we all moved on.

We didn't have to go quietly. We were attacked by huskies, both human and Quarian. I decided to fight the drones, the human huskies were fought by biotics with simple blows, but the Quarians were fought with heavy firepower. That's the way it went.

Shotguns gutted everyone the shells hit, blasts tore the Huskies in half or into mincemeat and sent them on a long flight while I cracked the Reaper codes and destroyed the drones. There was no need to use them somehow. They didn't have time to do it.

And then, all of a sudden, Rex got a good whack from a biotic wave that sent him flying off the platform. It was the brats, four of them, and another QuaPrime.

Standing up, Rex growled something dickish while lecturing on Reaper sexual reproduction. Given that our Geth linguists eat their codes for a reason, I understood what Rex was saying. Very entertaining lecture. I especially liked the "self-rape" part. Yuck to be like that!

And then we got on with the killing. Rex and Grant, in their new heavy armour, just turned on all the shields, and there were five of them, and went ramming the two brats, one for each, while firing shotguns. Ultimately, the first two brats were turned into a pile of synthetic shit, but Rex and Grant trampled the other two. Only a line of .50 calibre rounds made them cool down and run towards us. Shepard didn't say anything to them for that; they only helped since now all that was left was QuaPrime and a couple of Huskies. Though no, just the giant.

And he was just being mean and immediately started wrecking everything with a machine gun. So well, in fact, that we had to retreat.

- Holy shit, that thing's gonna put us so close to the airlock. Kasumi, Thane, get in stealth and kill that motherfucker from behind. Let's get the smoke grenades! - We all got a smoke grenade each, and the drell and the thief vanished. - Come on! - We threw the grenades and opened fire on the giant, but it didn't have much effect. The lasers couldn't handle the armour, and neither could the plasma. But now the whole "QuaPrime" was shrouded in smoke, and there was silence. Only the giant's footsteps broke the silence. And then we heard metallic sounds, gunshots, stomping, and the final rumble of the metal structure.

After a minute, the smoke cleared, and we were able to study the giant in detail. There was a reason I called it QuaPrime. It had three-fingered palms.

- An interesting specimen. Worth examining, Mordin said.

- There's no time. Shepard said.

- We don't, the Vork do," I backed the doctor, "We can go, but this one will be taken. We've got the shuttle and the hole in the hull.

- All right. Let's go. The Captain has yet to be much of a talker today. Understandably so. Seeing something like that was hard. A lot of people could read it. Tali kept walking pensive, probably thinking about that Quarian girl who'd just been used as bait and then staked. Then there were the QuaPrimes that had been genetically modified and bred specifically to that size and then locked up in that kind of armour, so full of detail. And then there are the Quarians and the humans who've been turned into these vile creatures. Why did they do this to them? Why did they suffer such a fate? Maybe I don't think much of Cerberus, but even they don't deserve that fate. A bullet in the back of the head would be nice.

We didn't see anyone else, and then we opened another airlock and ran into the glass. I mean, Shepherd bumped his forehead right into it. And was a geth standing on the other side doing something to the terminal there. Behind him was the Reaper core. And huskies were getting close to the geth itself. Suddenly the geth turned around, nailed three of them with his pistol, and then went on about his business. But as soon as he was done and turned around, he was immediately hit by a husky who came out while the geth was finishing his business. And fuck knows what he broke, but the geth blacked out. And then the glass came down, and we quickly nailed that Husky. Samara, Tali and Liara nailed him with punches.

- Okay, that's my concern now." I said as I approached the terminal. You better get ready, they're coming from everywhere.

- Check your weapons and load your shields, now!" Shepard said shortly, and everyone quickly followed the order.

- All right, let's go.

****

Reaper. Tali'Zora.

We heard the Huskies growling while Legatus was hacking away at the Reaper. Okay, here we go. The main thing is for Legatus to finish this quickly, as we will only last for a while.

Throwing a singularity into the corner of the platform, I captured five of the creatures at once and then blew them up with the warp. But more immediately came, and even these brats tried to get out. I first nailed one brat with three blasts almost simultaneously, then sent a wave into the Husks, nailing seven more. There were an unrealistic number of them. The Quarians were already among them with those drones, but Kasumi and Thayne made quick work of them. Here a second brat came out, but the warp quickly ripped it to shreds.

I'm already starting to feel my muscles tiring. Biotics is exhausting. I'm distracted for a second and notice Grant firing that giant's trophy machine gun. It's just tearing the Huskies apart. Garrus shoots the Huskies right in the head, and Mordin kills the Huskies with a couple of shots from two pistols. Samara and Liara act together, as do Shepard with Rex and Zaid. And then I regretted my distraction. The husky pounced on me, but I got my arm up quickly. His teeth clamped hard on my elbow bone, and he even started biting through my suit. After a moment, I felt a hellish pain as his teeth bit into my skin. My other arm activated a plasma blade, which I immediately put into the creature's head. And here I thought Legatus had given me a bad gift. My arm starts throbbing like hell, and the panacea doesn't help. I see more of them coming at me. The others are too busy; there are just too many Husks. The blade is still working, and I just run it through the first Husky, slicing it in half diagonally, the second one in the pelvis, and the third one in the place where Legate's instructions said the heart was.

Damn it, my hand is burning unbearably, and I've got something in my blood. I can already feel the sweat dripping down my face. Kila, I'm so sick. I'm injecting myself with emergency painkillers. It can even bring you out of a coma. It's been tested, plus it completely blocks the nervous system responsible for touch, enhances biotic abilities, and other sensory systems, except there will be a terrible withdrawal afterwards, but it doesn't matter now. I immediately felt a rush of energy, and the pain was gone as if it had never existed. The brat aims at me and sends a wave. I take it on myself with a barrier and then send a warp, tearing the brat, the three Husks, and the former Quarian to shreds. Then I send three singularities into the crowd of Husks. That raises 11 of those zombies at once. I send a warp into each anomaly, and this explosion sweeps away all the Huskies on the half I was doing.

- Shit, Tali, what's wrong with you?" Shepard asked, but her voice sounded like speaking out of the water column. And what's more, that voice was bothering me. It was getting in the way of killing those things. I no longer cared that they were my kin. I'm helping them go to Kila so they won't be slaves to the Reapers. I'm helping them, and Shepard's in the way.

- TALI!!!" came a voice I didn't recognise at all. It doesn't matter; I must lift the two brats up with a heave and smash them to the floor. Then three more hits to the Huskies, a singularity and a deformation to five of them, lift a Quarian Prime, slam him into the wall, shoot three Huskies with a pistol, then two more, then shoot another Quarian Prime, shredding his leg and arm, then send three deformations to him, then three more hits, then a wave, a singularity, a deformation, a lift, a wave, a lift, a singularity, a hit, a hit, a hit.... singularity. deformation.

****

Reaper. Shepherd.

- Damn it, Tali!" I checked on her as soon as I saw the quarian had passed out. She was alive, but it was time to get out of there. I knew that huskies weren't infinite, but I also knew that we couldn't last long without killing them all. We'd just run out of steam. Legatus, what have you got?!

- Just a few more seconds, Captain! - Legatus answered me. Hurry up. Your girlfriend has taken more than her body can handle.

After mowing down two more Huskies and changing the magazine, I realised that there was one more left, and that was it. Plus one grenade.

- ALL!!!- shouted to me Legate when I wanted to shout to him myself.

- Everyone, let's get to the hull breach!" I ordered, "Zaid, grab Tali!

- Don't forget me," said Legatus, grabbing the other geth while Zaid took the Quarian.

- What the fuck do you need him for?" I asked.

- I'll explain later, let's go!" he said, and I didn't argue.

We all ran towards that huge hole in the Reaper's hull. That's where the shuttle was supposed to be waiting for us. We were being chased by huskies. A huge mob of huskies that even Grant's machine gun couldn't handle. More huskies were also coming out from under the platform. Mordin, Kasumi, Thayne and Samara were shooting them off with pistols. The biotics were no longer being used; everyone was exhausted. And here we are at the edge of the platform. I can see the Normandy, but the shuttle was just starting to fly towards us, apparently just loading a test subject for Mordin. And there was a big crowd coming towards us. Grant took care of it; we were shooting off the bold. One got a shotgun blast from Rex, another from Thayne with pistols, another from Rex, and then two were nailed by Garrus. I, on the other hand, nailed three of them with a good queue.

- Everybody jumps off the platform and runs!" I ordered. There was only time to hold on once the shuttle arrived. - GO! - One by one, the team began to jump off the platform, and the rest covered. Kasumi, Thayne and Mordin jumped first, then Garrus, Liara, Samara, then Zaid with Tali in his arm, and only then Legatus with the geth, then me and Rex, and the last to jump was Grant when his machine gun overheated.

And lo and behold, we were flying weightless. It was a strange feeling. I've been there before, to be honest. In boot camp, a simulated "no-gravity boarding." At first, everyone was as dumb as they could be, but then they got used to it. And now we were all flying towards the hole the shuttle had already entered. And the huskies, as it turned out, ran after us. Just took and clumsily waddled with legs and arms while growling viciously.

And so the shuttle flew up, and we just piled into it. Once seated, the doors closed, and the shuttle immediately flew to Normandy. We made it.

Cluster: Har'Shogh. System: Shas'boh. Planet: Barhog. Affiliation: Batarian Hegemony.

A huge, colossal, in every way incomprehensible to any race, the ship had been orbiting the Batarian planet of the Middle Ring for three days now. The ship itself was 80% complete. It was still necessary to furnish the corridors, additional reactors, and the main armament, except for anti-aircraft, to fully equip the hangars and many other little things. However, the ship could fly, but it was still covered by 150 torpedo carriers, 50 cruisers and 10 zeppelins, which were aircraft carriers with 350 MLA and 150 attack aircraft. Such an armada was needed now for a reason. It was now that there was to be a show demonstration. A demonstration because much had been done to attract SPECTRE here. And on the main ship, there was another important detail that was going to be "shown". Everything was ready for that. 5 million enslaved people had been ultimately evacuated in every spacecraft available on the planet, and 700 million Batarians were left on this desolate planet, devoid of flora and fauna but rich in ores and minerals.

Warning: Unidentified ship has entered the system.

****

The frigate Pearl. Vazir's body.

Yeah, I can see why I was called here. Because nothing makes sense. A huge triangular ship, 20 kilometres long, staring at the planet with its nose like it wants to kiss it. And it's surrounded by some heavy cover. I was videoing the whole thing very quickly. The huge unidentified ship and other vessels will greatly interest the Council. Now we just had to wait until they left and then find out on the planet itself who it was and why the hell they demanded to release the enslaved people?

Within a minute, the gun loading was complete. "The Eater was ready. Firing. A blue beam burst from the nose of the ship and headed straight for the planet. And now, at a height of about 10 kilometres from the surface, the beam turned into a giant, 500 kilometres diameter singularity. And in a second, everything from the planet began to be drawn into this point and then quietly flew out from the other side. The whole pieces began to break off from the surface, and an unprecedented tornado began on the planet, which took up a quarter of the entire surface. All the sand and rocks were moving into the singularity, making it seem like the anomaly was drinking the planet but spitting it out all at once, throwing hundreds of thousands of tonnes of dust into space. Then the gravitational force into the anomaly increased, and whole clumps began to break away from the planet. The tornado reached a speed of 3000 kilometres per hour, and cities were blown to pieces and flew into the wormhole, only to find themselves in space on the other side. The hole on the planet was already hundreds of kilometres deep, and more and more pieces were breaking off from its edges, which were the size of an island, but they were crushed into fine dust. And now, the planet's core was also beginning to be drawn into the singularity. The magma instantly cooled and found itself in space. After another five seconds, on the opposite end of the planet, the Earth began to fall into the void. This happened almost in the city's centre of millions, causing huge buildings and businesses to fall down, fly through the planet, fall into the wormhole, and then be sent flying through endless space. And now, the planet already resembles a bagel, with what made it that way in the centre. But soon, the edges begin to fray, and the whole thing cracks and breaks into several large pieces, which again split into smaller ones and continue to split. until they turn to dust. And then. Then the planet that 700 million Batarians lived on a minute ago is left with a dust cloud, and the singularity disappears.
