"Heh heh."
"Spouting nonsense and muttering to themselves. Who knows what they're talking about!"
A middle-aged observer on the European Nation platform said disdainfully, "Three months ago, the Tsar's astronomical observation department predicted that a meteorite might fall, so astronomers from various countries were gathered here to judge the matter. But I truly don't understand why these Eastern charlatans were invited."

The elderly Imperial Observatory official was already enraged. "If these fortifications can withstand the impact of a celestial body, that alone would be the greatest blessing in the world! I truly hope no celestial body comes. If that happens, even if the Imperial Observatory has to bear the construction costs, so be it!"
