Yes! Originally it was, but I have rescheduled my fic for years before Project Horizons (to better fit into that timeline). So in reality is was a meteorite (The stars are jerks!). The Enclave would likely believe his disappearance to be the result of poor cloud maintenance.
Hm, I wonder if that meteorite will have an impact on Nova later. And I dunno why, but I'm thinking about what would happen of Deus and Nova met?... if bloodshed wasn't it.
Who knows...it is certainly something that will be on his mind for a long time. And as for Deus, reminds me how I want to make a series of drawings of a grimdark alternate future of Nova if certain parts in the story didn't happen the way they do. I won't get into details quite yet
Hmm... images of a scarred, both in body and mind, grown Nova. A reaper, toting energy weapons as big as him and turning any pony who crossed him to ash.
Ooo, that does sound neat. But I was thinking more along the lines of brainwashed slave forced to hunt down escaped slaves and return them to his master...
