Odin also reveals no new children are being born in the colonies, and that Thor is humanity's last hope for survival. Finally, Odin reveals a long-kept secret: that Earth was destroyed by an asteroid collision long ago, and humanity cannot return there, so they must adapt to survive in the Balkan Star System. However, Odin's plans involve dissecting Thor in order to mass-produce more genetically engineered humans capable of surviving in Balkan, and terraforming Chimaera, which would kill the planet's current inhabitants.
Odin does not disclose any new births in the colonies, nor does he mention that Thor is humanity's sole chance of survival. Ultimately, Odin discloses a long-held secret: Earth was obliterated by an asteroid impact ages ago, and humans cannot return there; thus, they must adapt to survive in the Balkan Star System. However, Odin’s plans include disassembling Thor for mass-producing genetically engineered humans suited for the Balkan environment, as well as terraforming Chimaera, which would result in the death of its current inhabitants.
