Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated in a bombing. This can't be good.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Yeah. The radio did this thing where "there's been a bombing" and then "she's been wounded" and then, "Whoa, I think she's dead, hold on, we'll waffle about it 20 minutes, yes okay she's really dead."
The Beeb World Service just took over, and they're pretty certain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Well, crap. When I turned off the radio, it was still There's Been A Bombing.

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