PA – 2 – Death
In 30 years, planetarion.com will be played with hand gestures and fully voice activated. A voice will call out at hh:00:20 (after tick has been processed): “forty thousand, three hundred twenty six INCOMING HOSTILES”, with the capitalized letters read / red with full effect. Everybody will pick the Morgan Freeman voice probably, but Margaret Thatcher’s a good second. DEATH from Terry Pratchett’s the de-facto voice, if you don’t pick one.
