Anan-Seven is interrupted by an air raid siren. "Vendikar is attacking." A Council chamber wall slides open to reveal a War Room, filled with mainframe computers and illuminated graphs. Anan announces that a vicious onslaught has just been carried out by the ruthless adversary. A half-million people were killed. In spite of all the talk of annihilation, scans indicate no bomb blasts or radiation disturbances anywhere on the planet. The designated victims have twenty-four hours to report to a disintegration machine.

Oh wait, that's a Star Trek episode.
