I just *know* we can make a few good plots with this.
Full Version: [News] Meteorite hits Norway
Dificulty: No aliens.
Bah, anyone can introduce carrot related super-aliens.
Testing of a corporate "hot landing" drop pod.
Lifeboat scale escape pod from an orbital research facility (if you want to toss in something like the carrot related aliens).
Actually organic, someone finally got that orbital juggernaught to crash back to earth, and he's hungry. (or worse, she's pregnant with a larger breed of them)

I'm disappointed that this didn't involve mass casualties.
Dude, did it just hit in the middle of nowhere or something?
Guess it must have done.
I find it simply incredible that this didn't make the headlines. More World Cup bollocks than you can shake a stick at here in the UK, but "Giant Meteorite Hits Norway With Force Of Atomic Bomb"? No.
*sigh*

If the map in the first story is accurate, then it definitely counts as Middle of Nowhere. There are more notable mountains in that area than there are towns with population < 200, and zero population "centers" of more than 200 people.

That's the problem when it hits in the middle of
Had this thing hit somewhere in the US or Southern Europe... ouch.

The USA/UCAS government desperately needs to bring a large extraterrestrial body down to earth, in order to study its remains as soon as possible. They send a small probe capable of redirecting it (to a minor degree), and cut a deal with the Norwegian government to crash it into the middle of Norwegian nowhere- where nobody will care about it and it won't make any headlines- so that they can then move in and examine it at leisure.
Meh. That's the best I can manage with this much beer inside me.

We need more beer over here for Witness. He's a drunk savant.
Too kind. Unfortunately right now I am feeling more like a car crash victim. *groan*
Try more beer.
