Alien Shepherds: Reactions [Episode 22063]

by Kestral

First, there was the fact that several illegal nuclear reactors had just melted down and the ship using them had just crashed into the water.

Some news agencies initially hailed this human as a hero anyway. Since there was no such thing as "reflex" energy, the particle beam had been fairly impressive.

So some people might have been willing to overlook the radioactive plume, the potential ecological disaster, etcetera.

The Shepherd ship, on the other hand, was a garden/farm ship. It supplied staggering amounts of food, boasted parks and lakes, and was 150 miles across its disc shape.

The blast had neatly holed the ship, which broke up into several dozen mile long chunks to come crashing down in the manner of a meteor movie.

Without the aliens having taken any retaliation at all, a good portion of Europe became really big smouldering craters.

The hippo/camel critter got back on to give a message: "We are disappointed. Your species is obviously capable of great aggression and destruction. Your species is clearly not developed or mature. We obviously must retaliate - for our study of your species has revealed this as a necessary part of your sociopsychological makeup. Discipline must be given to wayward children. We deeply regret this. You have twelve hours before the three are tested. Two hours for your sake before we respond."

Just as news agencies were dealing with the ecological disasters in Europe (active volcanoes, craters now overlapping and filling with water, mountain ranges that simply weren't there anymore) and a few were suggesting surrender as the aliens might offer the only hope of escaping a global winter, something else was occurring:

• not having figured out that bringing huge ships down out of orbit is not a good idea, a country launches missiles at the invaders.
• the three candidates are getting acquainted.
• the Sailor Senshi are trying to figure out how to attack this new menace. After all, they've never had to fight huge numbers of technologically advanced aliens before.
• the Masaki household is listening to Washu's explanation of the Shepherds.
• Keiichi Morisato, among others, are trying to come to terms with this.
• some other event
