While Varian's improvized plan was about to be launched in the solar system, the situation in Zion duchy began to shift.
It was marked by the presence of the arrival of someone unexpected.
The people of the capital star system, throughout the ten planets watched the screens at their homes in anticipation.
10 billion.
That's the death count caused by the green star during the short duration. Panic had reached unprecedented levels.
It didn't matter if it was ancestral home or a burning legacy, people sold everything they could and took flight.
It had only been six short hours, but the population went from 300 billion to 250 billion.
Unlike humanity during the Neptune evacuation, Zions had adequate technology for mass travel.
So, the ones who could and were determined to leave left quickly. This was despite many officers trying to make people stay one way or another.
