It immediately sent out a summons for a Berserker fleet to destroy the solar system it was passing through.
We should also warn it that if it enters the asteroid belt, it will be subject to congestion pricing.
We could also issue a speed camera ticket.
Obviously, all of this would require instructions for how to deposit into the US Treasury.
I think 40 trillion will just about do it.
“Nail Washington D.C. please”. Um, that isn’t six.
It’s just a damn rock... Sheesh!
