I wouldn't think that would be possible, but then I don't know what sort of theories Solis was working with for her technology. If it's based on the way a black hole works, then the sheer density of an unstable opening could, in fact, pull the entire world through. And any nearby worlds along with it. Maybe a star or two.

[Very reassuring.]

I just wish we knew more about their physiology. If we knew of something that would hurt only a World Eater, or if it was something we could protect ourselves against, then the answer to this question would be a hell of a lot simpler.

[Is he suggesting that he would really rather just pull another "poison the air and shut the door"? Well, yes. Traumatic as that experience was, it was effective. He can't really deny that.

And as for the Helix Station being similar to the places he's lived, well... there isn't much novelty in killing someone on a space station. He himself was put down with a simple knife, and he lost count of how many people died in the machinery back on the colony. And it's not like the Helix Station is mobile; they can't just crash it into the planet.]


It would be convenient to cage it up in some blocked-off part of the Station, but that might only buy us more time. If only fire were more catching in this goddamn place.
