Inside the projection room of the North American main base.
"Massive Imaginary Energy reaction detected!!"
A huge red information box suddenly popped up on the wall.
Tesla and the others, who had been focused on the Mexico City incident, immediately grew annoyed and shouted, "Aida, what's going on?!"

Are you trying to mess with me on purpose?!"
The translucent pink-haired woman floating in midair shook her head slightly.
"Executor, Aida would never deceive you. A massive Imaginary Energy reaction truly has appeared in London. The energy that erupted from those coordinates in an instant was equivalent to... the energy released during a helium flash in the late stages of a star's life."
Hearing that, Tesla believed it even less and waved her hand dismissively.
"Equivalent to a helium flash? Are you fucking kidding me?! A single helium flash is equivalent to all the energy the Sun releases over several decades during its prime. If fluctuations of that magnitude erupted on Earth, we'd have turned to ash already. How could we possibly still be alive?!"
"Besides, if something that terrifying had really happened, why didn't we sense anything at all?!"
"Um... um..." The pink-haired AI fell into thought.
Yeah!
Why had such a violent energy eruption caused no reaction whatsoever on Earth?
Tesla pushed up the red frames on her nose, rolled up her sleeves, and ordered, "Enough! Imaginary Energy or whatever... hurry up and close that pop-up. I've got
