Death Geode

Iota wiped the micro-sweat from her techno-brow and set down her heavy Explosive Decrystallizer 18600. It had taken days of work, but she had finally cleaned away all the seed crystals and carved out the inside of the geode. Now all she had to do was lay out the nano-structure and hook up to the omninet and it would be complete.

The geode itself has been grown right at the heart of Neo Nano New York, just above the omninet's primary backbone, giving her one of the fastest connections on the planet as well as all the bosons and fermions a femto-engineer could ever want. The future was bright.

Or so it seemed.

The antiforce nano-missile and its antimatter payload felt otherwise. It felt that it was falling straight toward Neo Nano New York at ten meters per second and rising.

Moments later, Iota found herself swimming in mineral-rich hydro-water surrounded by the shattered remains of millions of geodes and seed crystals. They were all growing. She found her ED 18600 floating nearby, mumbled something bad-ass, and started decrystallizing shit.
