932 Finally, Data

The next half a day was a blur as more and more data from the drones started to filter in, and the Hunters camp got a good picture of the situation across this world.

Compared to the rest of the planet, the torrential rains that had reshaped most of the continent that they were on were only a minor inconvenience. One continent was completely barren after the Orbital Strike, and earthquakes had destroyed everything that might have survived the initial blast. 

But the two continents nearest to it had been obliterated by a kilometre-high tidal wave caused by the shifting tectonic plate. Only the intense heat of the blast lingering in the upper atmosphere had saved this continent from the same fate by vaporizing much of the water.

So, instead of crushing waves, they got crushing rain, which the rest of the planet was soon to receive once the upper atmosphere cooled.

The side effects intrigued Nico.
