Chapter IX - Mass Extinction - Toxic Planet
To: Emperor Zetioz
From: Captain Xiraxor
Topic: Mass Extinction – Toxic Planet
My liege,
The first of the planets marked as especially interesting for the search of a way to avoid a large mass extinction event on Orossi, has given us quite disturbing finds.
It turns out a freak mutation – whether natural or made by sentients beings we do not know – made the native flora go, to put it bluntly, amok and off rails.
The plant life quickly – within months we estimate – choked the life out of all living beings on this planet, leaving a dead planet behind.
Truly horrendous, and as requested all data has been beamed over to Central Command for further studies and cross reference.
Your loyal servant,
Xiraxor
-----------------------------------
Advisor note: Sobering, is the word that comes to mind. Natural or not in this case, sentient beings surely can do this and worse, and we need to be extremely careful in our research and applications of gene modifications in the future. Preferably not dabble with it at all.
