Observers in the small Pacific nation of Exit Mundi were startled today when the small dominion's National Aerospace Commission launched, in rapid fire succession, several modules to be joined in what officials have labeled a "small SDI platform initiative," previously unknown.

"I didn't even know we had an Aerospace Commission," wondered local government watchdog Ian Kraploff. "It seemed that the launch site was just constructed overnight, and then BLAM, they launched seven or eight modules."

"That's blatantly incorrect," state Spokesperson Niel Karlovich refuted. "It was no more than four launches. It is a very small SDI initiative."

When asked to comment as to why all of the modules were launched so quickly, and in relative secrecy, the Spokesperson replied that it was due to a rare break in Exit Mundi's everpresent fog, and they didn't want to make a big deal about what was purely a matter of internal defense.

Not as big or as potent a shield as Pandora's Box provides.

Pandora's Box also contained Hope, which created a balance. I see none here.
