"Eh? It will hit?"
Tomcat wore a very heavy expression as it slowly nodded.
Tang Yue sat on the chair, grabbing his hair in silence. He needed some alone time.
Mai Dong was taken aback. "How much longer? How much longer will it take for the comet to hit?"
"Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai I has already moved past Jupiter's orbit. It's about 2 AU from Mars," Tomcat answered. "At its present seed, it will arrive in forty-seven sols."
"If it hits… the outcome will be disastrous, right?"
"It will be equivalent to having 52 trillion nuclear bombs explode at the same time. The force generated is ten times more powerful than the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago," Tomcat said in a heavy tone. "It will rip off half the Martian surface."
Mai Dong held her breath.
She looked petrified, unsure how she was to face the situation placed before her. She had never received any training on what to do during a comet hit.
