The exact nature of the virus had always been extremely unfathomable. He had initially arrived at the point of maximum fear, expecting to find the virus itself. Instead, he found the particle accelerator that was used to expand Gaia into a gigantic planet.
Then, it begged the question.
What exactly was the alien virus?
That was exactly what he was trying to find out with Seismic Regression.
He knew something was trying to kill him.
It was trying to kill him by converging all the pressures of weight on him from all directions. It was something that was powerful enough to cause an entire section of the planet to crush him from all directions.
RUMBLE!!!!!!!
He had applied the Seismic Regression technique to use innumerable vibrations that spread across the mantle and the crust, trying to identify the source of the artificial pressure and trajectory.
The full weight of his mind had converged upon the task.
And then, he found it.
"It emerges from the microscopic realm."
