Planetary Annihilation

After fogs accept, Yamato makes her way to his room. Entering, she glances around, seeing Christopher simply sitting.

In a chair facing a window, she sits across from him, clearly as nervous as a robot can get. "What will you do with the world?"

"Dispose of it. " She glances at him with shock. "why Thought" Christopher snickers "you really think I'd keep a world which lost its primary Antagonist"

"no the problems that could pop up are numerous. " she glance at him, confused. "Without an antagonist, technology could progress without backfires."

"of course that 1 of the more minor issues," he sighs, glancing out the window, "Thurlein, prepare heavy laser cannon. I'd rather make it look flashy."

"instead of using a point defence" Thurlein begins the activation "activation in 10 minutes" the hull facing the planet Splits apart.

folding in on itself, an enormous cannon emerges, the barrel smooth with no lining of a Dyson sphere, making up its attachment point.

The cannon, creating a shadow over the thinnest pieces of crust. The sphere glows, lighting up as it spikes rapidly off itself.

Being compressed, the floor detaches under them, showing the Enormous cannon stretching 6 square kilometres down rounded out at 4.

The beam glows within the barrel. Yamato glances at it. "Stop it" he sighs "A weakness is a weakness" she jumps at him knocking him to the ground.

Landing in a very inappropriate position. "STOP IT THEY DON'T DESERVE THAT!" the tea splashes against the floor Christopher staring expressionlessly.

The humans glance at the coming end. "WHY WOULD YOU WASTE THOSE RESOURCES TO RESTORE IF You're JUST GOING TO DESTROY IT!"

He remains silent. "Seems you're to attach to replicas" she goes silent "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KEEP SAYING ALL THIS CRYPTIC SHIT!"

He glances away mumbling "it's not cryptic" She glares at him, cracks forming on her nanite teeth. "you're going to destroy yourself".

His eye gleams her systems locking down. Sitting up, he places her on his lap, facing him. "Your thighs are pretty soft." she glares a dagger at him.

Shuttering at the forced freezing, "Those humans are merely an alternate of the Pillar world. " Her eyes widen. "THEN WHAT ABOUT FOG!"

Finally, regaining control, she slams her fist into his shoulders. "You will gain your original memory, but this is merely a corruptible alternate world."

"if I don't nick the bud, the roots will grow, then I'll have to erase the entire universal Pillars" he sighs "what's worse the lives of billions on 1 dying world or the entire system of worlds attached."

her teeth crack her limbs later her calculations, lacking empathy "the entire system", she gets off him slowly glancing towards the wall in defeat.

"it's merely a product of my own interferences" glancing at it "fire". The beam lights the barrel, shooting through instantly.

even enveloping the planet, cracks begin to form all over it, spreading across it as life is destroyed utterly with all the subordinate systems.

bursting apart with an earth-shattering roar, the dead fragments fire off explosively, a portion smashing into the Ship's hull.

The fragments producing ripples across the shield. He closes his eyes. "3,780,304 casualties" he stands up. Yamato silent in the corner.

"Alternate world Planet ID: 56784619 annihilated Date July 15th 2056" he kneels the message, having played across all the Thurlein's channels.

a sonorous Song plays out on all speakers "memorial dedication" the plaque is formed being placed in the planet's previous epicentre's

Yamato glares back "couldn't you have evacuated them" he glances out "no that would only create negative grudges from their home's destruction for as far as they're concerned, no reason"

She closes her eyes. "What about the children? " He closes his eyes. "They'd remember. They always remember. " He opens his eyes.

"All routes lead to an eventual rebellion over the planet," he sighs. "Why would humans risk that much?" Yamato asks.

"humans are sin driven animals. They hold grudges pointlessly, even if you give them everything they would still want more."

"there is always that hint of distrust, no matter who. If that is fanned like a fire, it can. Burst. They remember the great war.

"they will remember the planet's destruction. "what about those who wouldn't do any of that? " He sits down. A drone coming in and cleaning the tea.

"I do not have time nor enough empathy to go through every individual person nor. Would I wish to create a unit that can define that?

"if I were to do that, it would be too much order. I'd practically enslave this human race to a set paths of paths not all wish to walk."

"it would be mentally traumatizing and would constantly weight down on their conscience the thought of something knowing your every action and fate."

"is truly something terrifying to humans as even 1 move from this entity could destroy the lives of billions even if by accident."

"And even if I deleted or erased the memory of all routes, there would still be a certain distrust that would slowly take root in my peaceful city"

"plus capitalism would not work in my city, which would already tik off an uncountable number of people. I am not communism but utopia"

"the route of having everything in trade for your service is how my city runs. And it will never change" another tea is set on his desk, Yamato, finally relaxing.

"and those that wouldn't care and wouldn't mind," Christopher glance at her, "non-existent, there is no person who would accept an entity be it robotic or biological that knows every action and path you can take to live"

sipping it, he glances out "Thurlein," the drone enters "collect the rubble". the machine hovers silently "[affirmative]"

Thousands of beams fire off. Pulling in the rubble into the smelters and refinery systems. the massive laser receding into the ship.

The plates detach, creating the bottom. Yamato thinking "what about the possibility of doing it without their knowledge."

He sighs "not plausible." He sighs. "That isn't possible to scan. Every person would require billions of them, even with complete. Invisibility, how would that work?"

"1 machine for billions they could be discovered accidentally even if programmed to avoid it completely. There are too many probable outcomes to control."

"But you're absolute." He nods. "Of course that is the case but would be a direct intervention against the planet which would lead to its destroying itself, anyway"

She nods, finally understanding. "The cost far outweighs even the most minimal achievements," he shakes his head. "The cost is not an issue, the consequences are though"

"which are" he rolls his eyes "I just explained them, didn't I" She connects the dots "? Those were the consequences of attempting it.
