A: You destroyed a beautiful habitable world

There's nothing like an anomaly to fascinate anyone who encounters it. When the world refuses to work according to expectations, the questions instantly arrive. Why? How? What can be done to break this back to normal? And of course: Do we really want to?

The Hagyroph were worshippers of Death, and their favourite occupation was wreaking havoc with any unworthy species. Otherwise known as everyone else.

This latest target was confounding them simply because their favourite method was not working. They'd carpet-bombed this idyllic little world of unworthy heathens with a hefty load of anti-matter bombs. There should have been planet-shattering kabooms. There should be a smouldering ruin of a planetoid remaining in orbit. Should, as some say, is not is.
