Dusk was falling and the search had turned up nothing but empty air. No remains had been found with the exception of the wing.
Jun Mingzhe stood before the media, addressing the empire and the crowd that had grown to ten times the originals size.
"Our search for survivors has been going on for eight hours and it has turned up empty," he looked up and sighed sadly, "The space ship was obliterated. Other than a small piece of the wing, there's..... nothing. This does not mean that we are giving up immediately. Our search is continuing and we refuse to give up just yet."
Reporters threw questions like knives:
"Was the Empress targeted?"
"Did you check the space ship before it took flight?"
"Is it true that the explosion is linked to the first assassination attempt?"
"Rumor has it that the same technology in the Cosmosis explosion was used on the Celestial Mo. Is that what caused the explosion?"
"Are you officially declaring the Empress---?"
