The next day.
A Black Lady Two flew out of [Earth], heading straight toward the distant, dusky yellow Proxima b.
Like the small Proxima Centauri craft, the compact Black Lady Two was exceptionally agile.
With no pilot aboard, its acceleration reached its peak!
Before long, it arrived in synchronous orbit around Proxima b.
Under Zero's control, the Black Lady Two traced an exquisitely graceful flight path.
Without pausing, it plunged into Proxima b's dusky yellow atmosphere.
After entering the atmosphere, the Black Lady Two slowed slightly, but it still dove toward the ground like a sharp sword!
Intense friction between its hull and the atmosphere instantly turned the Black Lady Two into a fireball hurtling toward the surface!
Just before it struck the ground, the Black Lady Two abruptly slowed.
As if by a miracle, it swept through another graceful curve, changing its flight path.
It was now over an ocean of immense breadth.
Under Zero's control, the Black Lady Two picked a direction and shot forward!
On a continent of Proxima b.
The Black Lady Two slowed again and gently landed on solid ground.
After a brief wait, its ventral hatch swung open, and small drones flew out one after another.
After circling once in the air, the drones scattered, speeding straight toward their respective targets!
The command center aboard [Earth].
Atmospheric composition, surface temperature, geological features...
All kinds of data appeared on the enormous holographic projection before them.
Camera feeds followed.
Craters of every size covered the ground.
In the distance lay countless fragments of buildings and ruined walls.
It was easy to imagine how much devastation those electromagnetic cannon rounds and Interstellar Smoke Bombs had inflicted on Proxima b's surface!
As everyone looked at the devastated scene before them, their eyes filled with mixed emotions.
