Well, sure, a bunch of Radka clones approaching was certainly bad. Not having a reality anchor to dampen their powers was worse. Having a biology largely foreign to Earth that might slow down Radka's efforts to kill her? Good, but if it got to that point it would also be unlikely to matter.
Still. None of that was really nearly as important as the fact that time just broke. That was... impossible? Improbable. "Impossible" isn't a thing. A reality anchor of that scale shouldn't have been able to do any damage to the fabric of spacetime. It didn't even kill its target! Theraea stumbled to her feet- off her feet - to her feet, taking stock of the situation and gripping her lance tight as it rapidly crumbled to rust and put itself back together simultaneously. She slapped her communicator a few times, hoping she could get some kind of a message out.
"We've got a massive temporal anomaly in Earth Prime proximity!" she yelled to, possibly, no one, blinking across the chamber to dodge Radkas. "I repeat, massive temporal anomaly! Please respond!"
She turned to one of the Radkas, bringing up a barrier just in time to deflect a bone spear into her arm rather than her vitals. Wherever her vitals were. "There's something... much worse than you coming. We didn't blow up time. It did. Killing us won't stop your reality from unraveling at the seams."
