"Damn it!"
Morkel punched the air in frustration as he processed the harsh reality.
"Nothing's gone right since we got here. The clone didn't listen to us, and neither did the original, and now look at the result—we've lost a 3-star planet and all the people Merlin's earlier attack didn't already kill."
Frustrated, he turned to Rosaline. "Now do you see why I wanted to kill him? He's an anomaly. Wherever he goes, destruction follows," he said, dissatisfaction evident in his voice.
He added, "Even the original is as dangerous as the clone. He's the real problem. We've never heard of a clone escaping the Null Void, yet his did—and look where that got us."
"Morkel, calm down," Kitsuri said solemnly. "Nobody knew he had Merlin's black hole, or that Suzan's attack, amplified by the clone, would create such a disaster when it collided with a black hole."
