    People of Earth, your attention, please. This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

      I don’t see why you’re acting so supised, the plans have been on display at your local galactic planning office for 300 years.

      There’s no point acting all surprised about it. The plans and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning office in Alpha Centauri for over 50 of your Earth years. If you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout.

    “You have been chosen. Tell no one. The false idol must be killed.”

    Then just watch the chaos unfold.

      I feel like it wouldn’t be long until people learned they all heard the same thing.

        Possibly, but there’s also more then a billion English speakers, so we’d definitely see some shit before then.

    I think I’ll say “I am the Lord your god. You guys are sure fucking the climate up. You’d better lynch those oil executives and have a communist revolution before I send a big fire. I promised no floods, fires are still game.”

    There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally. Residents, landowners and visitors should not undertake any activity that could start a fire, including disposable barbequea, firepits, garden incinerators or fireworks. Even a small flame can rapidly develop into a major wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses and emergency responders at risk.

    Follow official updates and report signs of fire immediately by calling 999. Search gov.UK/alerts for more information.
