"Mr President, we have confirmed. The source of the detonations was a fen launch. Apparently, someone managed to build an Orion"
"Orion?"
"Nuclear Pulse Propulsion sure. Using nuclear bombs to send a rocket into space. Only, they weren't real nukes."
"what where they?"
"Waved pop-rocks and soda? We don't know sure. Just that, when it launched from Kazakhstan it generated a signal almost identical to a Russian launch."
"Please tell me we can self-destruct our missiles before they reach their targets, general."
"Yes Sir, that should be no problem. However, I'm not certain we can do the same to the inbound Russian missiles."
There was a terrible, terrible silence.
There was a wonderful, brilliant light.
There was a terrible, terrible silence.
