[WP] "Oh come, lots of small impacts occur all the time around the world; you just don't hear about it in the media or the places are unpopulated and remote. Anyway, Saturn and Jupiter do most of the work; there hasn't been an extinction-level impact for hundreds of millions of years goddamit!"	15

[WP] "Gliese 710 isn't a star, it's...it's a..." The voice of the President of TELDSOTF (The Extremely Large Deep Space Orbital Telescope Foundation) trailed off.	11
[WP] Light, reflections and emissions from Alpha Centauri A and B and Proxima Centauri stop completely and observational astronomers and radio astronomers are unable to detect the ternary system as it completely disappears. The ternary star system later reappears fifty later.	10
[WP] Very, very distant, distant future: you are part of a ridiculously advanced species which is able to experience the lives of extinct species via the "atmosphere" they left behind. You arrive in a deserted Solar System with a deserted Earth and attempt to find out how these "Humans" disappeared.	10
