How about I do it to the world instead? People like you are why I joined the SSBN force, so I can get a front row seat when I get the order to flip the switch and set 1SQ.
What's SSBN?
Submersible Ship, Ballistic Missile, Nuclear Powered. Aka, a strategic nuclear submarine capable of carrying up to 24 submarine launched ballistic missiles, each capable of carrying in excess of eight thermonuclear reentry vehicles, each capable of delivering in excess of ten Hiroshimas. Condition 1SQ is the condition set for launching these SLBMs, set only upon receiving a validated and authenticated Emergency Action Message.
