Reply to comment by Graoutchmeuh in [WP] Faster than light travel has been proven impossible, that's why humans are so surprised when aliens turn up. Not as surprised as the aliens on the generational ship who say the planet was void of life when they set off, following a missile they had sent to wipe out the dinosaurs. by Wrooof

Yeah, and also-

Why would they wait 165 million years to start traveling to Earth, (assuming the missile goes the same speed as the the ship) to colonize the place?

Maybe they wanted to let Earth "cool down" after a total extinction event, but I doubt that 165 million years is even enough.

IDK, but even if you saw the falling block of concrete and it didn't do anything in real life you could still sue because that building is not up to code. Or maybe you report to the police or something. I don't know.

I don't get why everybody is so against bagpipes.

I mean, they are an effective way of defending against planar outsiders.

Ok, I might have a nuisance to everybody there, but the sound produced by bagpipes is empirically proven to highly irritating on all lifeforms with hearing abilities.

This could be especially true for planar outsiders, which tend to depend on sound-based sensing.

The Council of Defense rejected my idea, obviously.

"This is a serious matter. You can't just... do that."

They disliked my idea so much that they removed me from the Council of Defense and made me a regular cop.

I... mean it was just a suggestion--like I didn't actually carry it out.

...

Ok, maybe I did, but it worked, didn't it?

Suddenly, my phone in my pocket started ringing.

"Hello, we are the National Militia of General Evil."

"We would like you to participate in the robbing of [insert bank here]. You can go evacuate the people and then-"

Great. Now I'm getting prank calls!

"That was a very real call from a very real organization."

...

Damn.

Are you asking for a nationalist-punk nation-builder time travel story?

What a mash-up.

Might be controversial due the nationalism.
