As every telescope and sensor system gazes at War Titan Typhon, it is evident that Typhon will not break for orbit or try to land on Calypso: Typhon is aimed for impact. Astronomers have calculated that in present trajectory, Typhon will impact the Western ocean just after midnight the night to Monday.

After deliberations with the Federal Imperial Navy and the Ministry of Colonial Affairs, a clearly worn major Jenny Carramone finally addressed the public. In a prepared statement, she announced that colonists of Planet Calypso should be evacuated to the relative safety of Exodus or any other off-planet site.

Her statement was immediately contradicted by the Under-Secretary of Colonial Affairs, mr Otto Kummel, who said that the threat of the War Titan Typhon was severely overestimated, and that the cost for evacuation would be too high considering the relatively low risk. “The robots will not crash a major piece of hardware like Typhon into Calypso” he said. “They will land, take my word for it. We have fought off the robots before; we will do it again.”

However, civil authorities on Calypso have not retracted Major Carramone’s evacuation order. As Governor Dumpty said, “I’m not sure who the ‘we’ that mr Kummel speaks about are, but they are definitely not sitting in a cushy office on Earth”.

Space has been cleared on Exodus Space Station as well as other facilities in orbit of Calypso and tenders of the Federal Imperial Navy stand ready to receive evacuees from Calypso.
