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 :P

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...

Mh, they're both bad fates in their own way.
