After the planet with the unisphere was completely evacuated, the Space Corps took another measure. If they weren't going to be able to take the Unisphere, then something else was going to have to happen. Two large probes were launched to the planet, landing on opposite sides. The femtotech pods melted away as soon as they hit the ground, and three-legged machines with needles protruding from the bottom came from them. The needles drilled into the ground within seconds, and transmitted mass directly to the core of the planet. It became denser and denser. In seconds, it was hostile to all life. In minutes, mountains flattened under their own weight.

Now he was as Neohuman as his brothers in arms, and he was prepared to fight for his home.

"Alright. Now we wait." He replied. And they did.
