Advisor: Think I that in Germany there was

May still be able to use his charm

On creatures that do us harm

Call upon that ancient cipher

Time to phone the Pied Piper!

General: Never mind that stuff, just phone up Japan.  They have experience with this kind of thing.  On phone  Hello?  Japan?  We’ve got a giant monster on our hands.  Huh?  Oh, let me check to aide What is it?  Really?  OK.  On phone Giant rat.  Looks radioactive.  That’d be great, thanks.  We’ll make sure to put new missiles on when we’re done.  What’s that?  Really?  Fine, fine.  Yeah, thanks.  Hangs up  All right, we’re getting the X-9, but the AI driving it has a big ego and the princeps likes music.

Councillor 2: It’s totally plausible.  We’ve got so much GMO flying around that anything could happen.  Right now we could –   Squashed  HAHA!  Told you!
