I perked right up seeing this one in particular.

It's like the beginning of a science fiction movie: a small group of scientists observe some unusual phenomena and then weird things start happening with the good guys usually winning out in the end.

Maybe the Galactic Federation has been paying attention to our befouling of the nest and they're taking the first steps in letting us know they are not going to put up with it.

Or not.
