Before speaking with the person he wanted to, Jin took a detour to his home. One of the perks he got from Mrs Horton was a house. It wasn't anything fancy, but to Jin, it was perfect.
"Hey Aunty Anyssa." Jin greeted her as he walked through the door. He had her and Brittany move in with him since their other house was destroyed. This house was bigger anyway, so having them around wasn't a problem
"Oh, Jin. I thought you were on some mission with Brittany." She gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah, that was a bust. You should be getting a call about it soon. Oh, and Brittany is unconscious."
"WHAT?"
Just then, her phone started ringing.
"Might wanna take that." Jin went down to the basement, where his lab was.
"Okay, computer, pull up the biometrics of the Láspi we encountered today." He instructed his computer as he booted up his...computer
[Biometrics are now on the screen.]
Jin took a good look at it and started seeing how this creature ticked. He had plenty of knowledge of this creature, but all of that knowledge didn't contain a way to beat it.
"Just my luck. I get powerful, so bullshit things like the Sons of Adam don't affect me anymore, then the most dangerous alien lifeform that I know finds this planet. It's as if someone is watching me."
Jin didn't wanna focus on that and just started working. He imported data from his previous world by recreating it with the tools from this world and ran simulations to see if his past life attempts were still in vain.
"How long until the simulation is complete?"
[One hour.]
"Cool." Jin went to another screen, swiping his hand against the hologram of the Láspi's bimetrics, making a copy of it on the other screen.
"This Láspi doesn't look like the one I encountered on Planet Noxos. That one was black, and this one is clear. Zion did tell me that the Láspi came in different colors, so this could be one of them. However, the Láspi remembered me, even though I'm a completely different person in body. Can they look into souls now?"
There were so many questions that Jin wanted answers to, but he couldn't get them. This wasn't like the Sons of Adam, where he could just storm into their base and fuck them all up. He was dealing with a species that wanted people to storm into their base so they could get absorbed and die, strengthening them.
"No, this isn't impossible. I need to learn two things. If I can learn these two things, then I should be able to make plans to better help us fight against this bullshit creature. Thank the stars that there was only one Láspi here and not a whole colony. However, this guy is a scout, so if it escapes the barrier, it could go back to the hive to warn its main body. No, it most likely already done that since they share the same mind."
The three things that Jin needed to know were if this was a part of the Láspi that attacked his old world, and to find out when the Láspi arrived in the solar system. Those were the most important things he needed to learn.
His reasoning behind this was that if this Láspi was a part of the hive mind that attacked planet Noxos, then the people of this world stood no chance against it. And the reason why he needed to learn when the Láspi arrived in the solar system was to see if any more had come as well.
Who knows if the Láspi have evolved to walk among humans? If so, then that would be a scary thing to process. Fuck being betrayed, people will be eaten, literally.
[Simulation complete. All simulations have failed.]
That was news Jin didn't want to hear.
[One simulation did show promise. The magnetosphere simulation did have effects on this Láspi.]
Jin stood up with wide eyes. "What?! B-But how?! The Láspi aren't affected by electromagnetic waves! Only direct contact with electrons, like lightning or electricity. How can they be affected by the....it's a different type of Láspi!"
This gave Jin hope!
"Run every simulation you can that involves anything with electricity, lightning, electromagnetic waves, anything with fucking electrons! Even powers!"
[Understood.]
"Now, it's time to see when this asteroid came into the solar system." Jin pulled up an image of the entire solar system up to the heliopause. There, he zoomed in on the asteroid that he was just on a little bit ago and worked some magic.
First, he made a computer simulation to reverse time to track the movement of the asteroid. He went back thousands of years until the simulation went into speculative territory. When that happened, he used magic to perfectly simulate what had happened in the past.
The trajectory of the asteroid kept going as it did in the simulation, but then, something happened that the simulation wouldn't have picked up. The asteroid was flung toward the furthest planet in the solar system, which was a gas giant, and flew into one of its moons.
But that wasn't all. Many asterpids were flying back toward the planet, creating a moon that didn't exist today. The magic simulation was already back 1 million years, so this wouldn't be captured by modern technology without speculation on the table.
Once the moon reformed, a large space rock, a bit smaller than a dwarf planet, reformed as well, flying out of the solar system since everything was moving backward.
Jin homed in on this celestial object. He followed it and zoomed in on it.
"Impossible! T-That's..." He gulped. "That's a part of the Láspi's planet! B-But it was destroyed!" Jin kept rewinding, following the piece of the planet until he saw it head back to its original place in the universe, its home solar system.
He also saw his friend blowing up the planet. At this point, this was over ten million years ago.
"Fucking hell! This is bad! This means that..." Jin quickly fast-forwarded everything, going forward in time until he reached the part where the remains of the Láspi planet slammed against one of the moons in this solar system.
Zooming in, he saw millions of Láspi slugging around, some getting destroyed by the impact, but others getting sent off in multiple directions due to the collision.
This was extremely bad and dangerous. Why? Because not only was the Láspi already in this solar system for at least 1 million years, but they were all around them as well. The current asteroid belt, as well as the asteroids in the further parts of the solar system, were caused by the two celestial bodies colliding.
"They're already here!"
