All Dead
Several minutes later, in the outer space high orbit of B847, a steel island the size of Australia silently drifted billions of kilometers above the planet's surface. This Floating Island belonged to a certain extraterrestrial race, or more precisely, to their planetary government.
To own a Floating Island of such magnitude while B847 had just inaugurated its final form was no small feat. In comparison, the New Earth island was still only the size of England. This spoke volumes about the immense potential of this civilization.
But at this moment, besides the reigning silence, something was amiss regarding this large Floating Island: the absence of light and shield.
Such an island had to be constantly protected by a powerful energy shield to intercept celestial bodies and cosmic debris wandering through space at dozens of kilometers per second. Even a simple rock could cause serious damage to the infrastructure and environment if it collided with the ground.
