"Oh, they've got loads of options." Lyra said to Ness, pulling up an image of Earth. "For a planet this size, they have a lot of options. they could laser into the core and through it, causing dramatic climate shifts that would destroy the planet easily, they could unleash bombardments of a napalm like substance that would be scattered across the atmosphere, destroying its plant life, or they could land troops and slowly scrape off the planet. If they came in their flagship, they'd have close to 2 million predators embarked, as well as a lot of tech they could use on the ground. They could also drop asteroids on the planet, or use a device that would cause the sun to go supernova, though I don't think the Venomous fangs have that tech available." as she spoke, the hologram showed each occurrence, leaving the planet a lifeless husk before restarting, only to be destroyed again. She nodded to Jess. "Well, we could try to pull them planetside. If I let them know where I am, they'd be happy to swing their leader down personally for a duel. But, that'd leave most of the ship in orbit, which we need to destroy if we want to stop them from finishing the job. Or, as much as I dislike the idea, you could offer me up legitimately. As they said, they'd leave the planet alone, or at the most turn it into a fang world. Not the greatest scenario, but an acceptable one. For you all."
