Command log, starship Aegean.

 

One hour ago a wave of gamma radiation struck Romulus. Ambassador Spock's efforts managed to stop the warp speed shock wave from obliterating the planet but the nova's burst of gamma rays were not contained. Any exposed lifeforms would have been destroyed and even those deep underground would have been irradiated to fatal levels. If city defense shields were raised in time there is a high chance of survivors but as of yet we have not been able to make contact with the planet. All of the subspace disturbances in the area have garbled subspace communications. The best case scenarios leave possibly billions of survivors in shielded areas but they can not stay there forever. The sad truth is the more survivors there are the more suffering there is to come. All of this added to the fact that Romulus is now a dead world. It could take a century of massive terraforming efforts to recreate the biosphere.

 

Aegean is en route at best speed but I am not sure what we can do. In regard to the evacuation, we are a thimble trying to bail out the sea. We will find our place in the effort, no matter the magnitude of what has happened.
