As far as I know, most of them in our vicinity are uninhabited. But it'd definitely be... shocking, yes. Whatever could cause such a thing and the intention behind it. Anyone willing to destroy an entire planet has to be sick in the head. Especially if there was life upon it.
Not sure why. Or how that half was determined.
Oh. My condition renders me physically unstable, and rather dependent on a... difficult process. If those who were helping me were no longer in existence, I wouldn't likely survive five years. So I can only hope I'm part of those who vanished. But nobody I know here has proof of my fate, so that puts me in a rather uncomfortable uncertainty. And I don't like that.
