Reply to comment by ZelWinters1981 in [WP] Humanity has achieved faster-than-light travel using massive polonium-burning internal combustion engines. Our alien neighbors are terrified of this - they worship fire, and we have essentially enslaved their God to cross the universe. This could cause some international incidents. by SeaboarderCoast

yeah pretty much

Some dude named David Joe Billysman or something invented burnable Polonium, and accidentally made FTL at the same time. It also burns in space, because fuck you, Physics, the V8 does all.

When this baby hits 233,000 RPM, you’re gonna see some serious shit, and hear the most heavenly of engine roars.

And Russia still hasn’t made a good enough case for ‘Russian’ being a different enough species from humans to get a separate congressional vote. It might just have to wait a little bit.
