[quote]She calls for radar data, a map of Titan's surface. And then she sees it.
Her moon is squashing.
Titan is deforming from a spheroid into an egg. Something out there is pulling on Titan—a hand with a force greater than Saturn's entire mass. And the moon is answering the only way it can, by bulging outward: already fifteen meters, still growing.
The pull will cause strain, tremors, tides. And when that pull lets go, there will be a wave to make Ziusudra and Atrahasis and Noah and Manu and Deucalion cower in fear. Bergelmir might have navigated a deluge of blood, but not even he had to sail on liquid methane.
Nor reckon with the apocalyptic tidal forces of a second ocean, fourteen times as vast as Earth's oceans combined, buried 50 kilometers below the surface.[/quote]
Consider the magnitude of this, how powerful the force of Darkness behind the Collapse must have to do [i]this.[/i]

It almost sounds like the God-Wave in the Books of Sorrow.

Titan super mall was closed after a woman fell and threatened to sue.

<I can just imagine the image from orbit. Imagine the moon's oceans being pulled enough to make it look noticeably different, only to be pushed back into place with the force of falling anvil. The colonists were lucky to escape before all hell broke loose mere days after.>

But on a serious note that seems pretty powerful. I wonder how long it will be until bungie decides to nerf the darkness as well.

Almost as powerful as Randal the Vandal…

Jeez. Where’d you find the lore?
-
so this is how the darkness wipes out civilizations, it uses gravitational fields and tremors to tear the planet and its inhabitant's apart

Stop planet shaming....or satellite shaming.... she's big, she's beautiful in all her shapes.
