High security orgs getting hacked regularly, perpetual bomb threats, and actual mass shootings on a consistent basis; I say again, I hate this version of reality that I ended up stuck in.

I say, “Let’s take off and nuke the place from orbit.”

It was the Tralfamadorians. They have/are/will hack NASA’s personnel database to sow disinformation and prevent the galactic human diaspora.
They have/are/will infiltrate the White House kitchen staff and secretly dose President Trump with massive amounts of beta carotene which has/is/will reach a critical level in his cybernetically augmented hair follicles and implode into a singularity.
The implosion has/is/will knock us out of this worst-of-all possible timelines and we will all live happily ever after, with the exception that anyone in Trump’s germ line will be instantly transmuted into a Peruvian Fruit Bat.
So it goes.

Unfortunately, that isn’t a viable option, when it’s one’s own planet of origin which is problematic. (Though that would have been the logical course of action in Aliens. Too bad they didn’t listen.)

I bet there will be a mass mailing urging the staff to admit the moon landings were a hoax.

Yep; even the Ra’s al Ghul “solution” is highly fucking problematic, and that one actually leaves most of the ecosystem itself intact.

The space marines in Aliens did listen: they tried to take off and nuke the site from orbit, but the sneaky aliens got them before they could take off.

I misread that as, “Barsoom or Mars”, so I’m now convinced we can blame the Therns.

Not when it was first suggested, they didn’t.
Many more of them had to die first, and then by the time they tried to act, it was already too late.

Yeah, it was more a case of, “Lets get in to orbit; this place is going to nuke itself!”

Ah, yes – right you are.
Who needs sneaky aliens when you have stupid greedy humans?

Oh yes, because space itself is so very “hospitable” to fragile carbon based life-forms such as ourselves…
Fucking Burke, fucking Weyland-Yutani.

I wonder if Gary McKinnon’s list of “Non-terrestrial officers” is on the list.

Having watched Covenant, it all makes sense now.
