Quote:1. Zero-G provides advantages for necessary industries that we can issue embargos on American companies and the American government.
2. As a foreign power, there are more than a hundred other countries that the Fen can do business with. Blackstone would suggest bolstering the economies of Luxembourg and Lichtenstien (to say nothing of nations in serious need of economic assistance, like parts of Africa and Southeast Asia) before dropping bombs* on America.
3. There are literally hundreds of satellites orbiting the planet. Co-opting or destroying them provides an effective deterrent to American intelligence as well as demonstrating the Fens' advantages.
4. Dropping rocks on the planet affects the WHOLE planet, not just America. Unless we're willing to go to war with Earth, the Institute classifies this as a Lost Hat Plan. **
5. Stellvia http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... er_lucifer]already stopped a rock-drop, and that was before they had access to Girls^3 tech. Anybody who wants to hit Earth with a rock has to go through the Stellvians... and Noah pulls out all the stops when the motherworld is at stake. If necessary, an announcement to this effect will be made by Noah and as many like-minded SMOF he can gather together for the press conference.
He'll be extremely upset if he has to cut his honeymoon short because Yayoi felt she needed to tell him about rumours of war...
