Okay - stop me if this has been answered already, but...
What are the Scientologists doing while this is going on?
- They're an enormous cult with a significant powerbase, and some rather odd ideas
- They definately have some eyeballs looking to the stars, and they tend to read certain very specific kinds of science fiction... well... religiously.
- They tend to be moderately-to-heavily brainwashed, and not react well to dissent. (Apparently, this goes so far that one of their rules actually forbids meaningful discussion on interpretation/explanation of their rules. They actually aren't allowed to say "Rule A says this, Rule B says that, that doesn't make sense to me, please explain." They aren't allowed to let nonmembers know what the rules are in the first place.)
- They don't always feel welcomed where they're at.
Clearly they'd be doing *something* in response to handwavium - but what?
