Daniel Thompson's shield lasted for thirteen seconds.
During those thirteen seconds, Harrison Clark managed to complete the last 3 million kilometers of the journey, successfully escaping the range of the gamma-ray burst and hovering fifty meters away from its predicted path.
His battle armor's shield system had stopped issuing warnings, and his head was no longer in excruciating pain. He was safe.
On Harrison Clark's battle armor arm was a long, semi-rigid rope.
The other end of the rope was a test instrument.
The instrument had come less than a meter away from the impact of the gamma-ray burst.
In just that short time, the instrument had already completed its analysis of the gamma-ray burst's characteristics.
Next, they only needed to analyze the changes in the characteristics of the broken hole in the dome.
Harrison stared blankly ahead.
