A let's create the eye of terror

A, we need more data points for warp drive explosions.

A
We are scientists!

Also wat @everyone who voted for our husband. We denied other people and accepted that? Without further insight into the situation?
We don't even know how the nobility-ish system works and...that happens?
:I
We could've aimed for a political marriage while denying anything until now because we're too busy >.>

You order that a warp core is to be detonated near the center of the space fluctuation. Nonetheless, general evacuation warning is sent to J-26 Prime.

1_{(RNG strikes again)}

Next morning you receive a report.

The warp core explosion have sufficiently distorted the nearby subspace, allowing the fluctuation to collapse and then rebound into normal space, which means that the fluctuation now had enormous mass yet disproportionately small radius of about 30 planar kilometres.

J-26.II, a small gas giant, has been already torn apart by this emergent black hole, and the colonists from J-26 Prime scramble to escape, but many will be lost as the black hole traverses through/out (if it will be moving in the first place) the system.

Later the same day, the Ministry of Astrophysics has a press conference to explain themselves to the public.

You appear at the Imperial Household Civil Office in a simple white dress. Your husband is there too, in a suit, and you both sign the marriage papers. Various ministers and government officials congratulate you and wish for the Imperial Family to prosper and endure for centuries. There is a small reception where some interstellar delicacies and some synthehol (per official observances) are present for people to snack and drink.

By 4pm you're back at the Office of the Empress. Sirtana beeps right away.

"Good afternoon, Empress. There is rioting on planet Sincity Prime. The citizenry demands your abdication for the disaster in system J-26. Governor Pilate requests aid to bring order back to the planet."

A) Prepare a speech in which you defend yourself and your actions.
B) Send a detachment of Starfleet to pacify the population with force.
C) Tell the Governor to do his job properly for once and fix it by himself.

A. Evacuating millions of civilians would probably have resulted in as many casualties as the black hole, just less spectacular. Think of all the trampled people, all the logistics required to feed people, all the planets to which the displaced people have to be shoved into.

Also we can shift the responsibility of our tech to the TYRANT who put us in here :I

You prepare and then holo-vid a speech in which you defend your actions as necessary.

It works, mostly, but the public talks about the issue for the next week.

"A WHAT!?"

"It's a fucking Space Dragon, Empress!" Says the Commander of the Homeworld Defense via a holo-sphere. "It has arrived at the outskirts of the Imperial Homesystem via some sort of subspace tunnel and is demanding that we turn rare and valuable materials for it to digest into power!!"

A) Order the Ministries to procure and deliver required materials for the Dragon, finances be damned!
B) Call in Starfleet to pulverize the beast into fine subatomic residue!

B, you'd think these space dragons would know better in an age where we can accelerate projectiles to significant fractions of c.
