Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I think so. Which means Operation Comet Spank cost about 1/1000 of that.

When I was visiting my mother and her sister a few weeks ago, Mom was talking about the comet project and how it was kind of exciting that they really had no idea what would happen when the comet got hit. I responded "you mean there might be aliens inside who get very very angry".
Sadly, Mom wasn't sure I was joking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There still might be! They're currently marshalling their forces for a retaliatory attack.
