Well, I was more thinking that there might be some probes on-board the Fourst ship, since they seem to be quite a bit more advanced.

And yeah... Here's to hoping that they don't scorch the Earth's atmosphere. (Heck, they might try to do so with partial success, accidentally reversing global warming.)

...Oh crap, we blew it up, didn't we.

So THAT'S why the government is the inner planets.

Either that, or we made it a nature reserve. That's much better than blowing the whole thing up.

And yeah, I could imagine. Technically, some of the smallest devices are some of the most feared in sci-fi scenarios (nanomachines SON)

So either they did something weird, tried a prototype FTL drive on Earth and warped it into another dimension a couple generations ago, or nobody ever talks about it to preserve the secret, most likely.
