Did you ever hear the tragedy of /r/didyoueverhear the dead?

The new home for edits of the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis.

Rules

  1. Must be a tragedy written either partially/completely in the format of Darth Plagueis the Wise.
  2. If possible, submit it in text form instead of linking it.
  3. Include the source/context and give credit where credit is due (unless the writer is yourself).
  4. Change to "Did you ever hear" if the one you found/wrote is initially "Have you ever heard" before posting.
  5. Posts containing spoilers must be marked as such. Spoilers in the title would be automatically removed.

Another hero who averted WWIII in 1983 when he refused to believe an early warning system and went against protocol was Stanislav Petrov.
