No, nothing as momentous as the D-Day landings. Just the landings of a British Airways jet in DC and a probe droid on Mars. Brits can once again safely bring their tourism dollars to the United States, and Marvin’s reign of terror on Mars has suffered its first major setback in years. Now, if the little bot can just come up with a smoking gun on the Marvin-Al Qaida link (or at least be obliterated publicly by a WMD), we can get on with the business of a manned invasion of the red planet. Americans haven’t set foot on off-world land in over thirty years and if it takes the villification of a highly-animated despot to reverse those decades of neglect, Howling Point will be happy to help whip up the frenzy. Sure, no evidence of Marvin’s involvement in the disappearance of the European probe has been released yet, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t responsible for the disaster, nor that he isn’t capable of similar acts of aggression in the future. The threat must be ended now, before countless lives and decades are lost.
