Today, it seems you can\u2019t turn around without seeing some article, story or cheap \u2018authentic\u2019 planetary fragment salesman talking you ear off about the collision of Ellis XI. Without question, it has become the most hotly discussed and examined event of the last news cycle. Today we have Parker Terrell, often controversial journalist at the New United.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Hi, Eria.\n\nERIA QUINT: Mr. Terrell, your latest editorial has certainly been fanning the flames of your critics who claim that you\u2019re simply sowing seeds of paranoia with unfounded claims.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Well, thankfully my readers feel differently.\n\nERIA QUINT: Would you please explain what your latest piece was about?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Simply put, Eria, I find the entire explanation of the Ellis XI situation to be \u2026 unsatisfying.\n\nERIA QUINT: You think there was more to it?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: That\u2019s putting it lightly, Eria. I think the destruction of Ellis XI was a man-made event, specifically perpetrated by our \u2018government.\u2019\n\nERIA QUINT: To address your questions, I\u2019d like to welcome Dr. Jan Wallace, professor of Geological Sciences at Terra University.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Thank you, Ms. Quint, it\u2019s a pleasure indeed to be here.\n\nERIA QUINT: Doctor, we\u2019ll begin with you. I assume you\u2019ve read Mr. Terrell\u2019s article.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: I have, Ms. Quint. Frankly this type of sensationalism \u2014\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Sensationalism? Okay, I can see this is going to be a real open-minded conversation.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: I\u2019m sorry, sir, but I don\u2019t see any merit in even attempting to qualify the nature of your outrageous statements.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: How about simple physics, doctor? Forgive me, if it seems a little suspect that a planetary impact was powerful enough\u2014\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: It was a moon, Mr. Terrell.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Excuse me, doctor. I\u2019m going to give a question to answer if you\u2019ll let me finish. How is it possible that the impact was powerful enough to accelerate the planetary fragments past the gravitational binding energy? Also, according to the UEE\u2019s official statement, the planetary debris of Ellis XI will create an asteroid belt in a matter of years. How is that possible?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Well, it\u2019s very complicated.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I\u2019m sure.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: In layman\u2019s terms \u2026\n\nPARKER TERRELL: You can science\u2013it-up as much as you want, Doctor, I\u2019ll keep up.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: You have to understand that Ellis XI\u2019s moon is composed of mostly iron and platinum, giving it a density of over 7,000 kg\/m, which is higher than Earth. Combine that with the fact that Ellis XI had a notoriously minimal gravitational pull. To be honest, I was actually quite surprised how tectonically unstable Ellis XI turned out to be. Studying the data, it seemed to have forced itself apart from within as much as from the force of the impact. Put all of these factors together and it was simply a \u2013\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Convenient turn of events?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Fortuitous I would say. From a scientific perspective, at least.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Yeah, it sounds awfully convenient to me too. Let me ask you something, Doctor. I assume you witnessed the event?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: I was fortunate enough to be able to study it from the Icarus platform.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: What did you have to do for that opportunity?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: I don\u2019t follow.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Clay Harren and the UEE exercised a maniacal grip on mining and scientific permits. I know a lot of legitimate scientists and organizations that were frozen out of, in their words, the \u2018most significant scientific event of the century.\u2019 Why would they do that?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve got a theory.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I\u2019m glad you asked: Money.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Money?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: The UEE was profiting off the scientific and mineral community, not because we were about to witness a monumental natural event, but because they wanted to recoup some costs on an experiment.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Oh, I see, your planet-killer or whatever you called it.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I called it a weapon, Doctor. It\u2019s no secret that the UEE\u2019s been researching more effective ways to destroy worlds.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Yes, well, as a professor, the UEE hasn\u2019t run their secret weapon programs past me in quite some time. I was there to watch a moon collide with a planet and that\u2019s just what I saw.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Oh, I\u2019m not saying that the moon didn\u2019t collide with the planet. I\u2019m simply saying that they used that event to cover-up a bigger test, a test to see if their secret weapon would work. That level of destruction is not exactly easy to sweep under the rug.\n\nERIA QUINT: Okay, we\u2019re going to take a quick \u2013\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I\u2019m not finished. Ask yourself, if you\u2019ve devised a weapon to crack a planet in half, which we know is possible after the Hades system, how would you test it?\n\nERIA QUINT: Wait, are you insinuating that the UEE has found a Hadesian weapon?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: It\u2019s possible, right? I mean, who knows?\n\nDR.

Heute scheint es, dass man sich nicht umdrehen kann, ohne einen Artikel, eine Geschichte oder einen billigen \"authentischen\" Verk\u00e4ufer eines Planetenfragments zu sehen, der einem \u00fcber die Kollision von Ellis XI spricht. Es ist ohne Frage das am hei\u00dfesten diskutierte und untersuchte Ereignis des letzten Nachrichtenzyklus geworden. Heute haben wir Parker Terrell, einen oft umstrittenen Journalisten im New United.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Hi, Eria.\n\nERIA QUINT: Herr Terrell, Ihr neuester Leitartikel hat sicherlich die Flammen Ihrer Kritiker angefacht, die behaupten, dass Sie einfach nur Samen der Paranoia mit unbegr\u00fcndeten Behauptungen aufsetzen.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Nun, zum Gl\u00fcck f\u00fchlen sich meine Leser anders.\n\nERIA QUINT: W\u00fcrdest du bitte erkl\u00e4ren, worum es in deinem letzten St\u00fcck ging?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Einfach gesagt, Eria, finde ich die gesamte Erkl\u00e4rung der Ellis XI-Situation unbefriedigend.\n\nERIA QUINT: Du denkst, da war noch mehr drin?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Das ist gelinde gesagt, Eria. Ich denke, die Zerst\u00f6rung von Ellis XI war ein von Menschen verursachtes Ereignis, das speziell von unserer \"Regierung\" begangen wurde.\n\nERIA QUINT: Um Ihre Fragen zu beantworten, m\u00f6chte ich Dr. Jan Wallace, Professor f\u00fcr Geowissenschaften an der Terra University, begr\u00fc\u00dfen.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Danke, Frau Quint, es ist mir eine Freude, hier zu sein.\n\nERIA QUINT: Doktor, wir beginnen mit Ihnen. Ich nehme an, Sie haben den Artikel von Mr. Terrell gelesen.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Das habe ich, Ms. Quint. Ehrlich gesagt, diese Art von Sensationslust -\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Sensationslust? Okay, ich kann sehen, dass das ein wirklich offenes Gespr\u00e4ch werden wird.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Es tut mir leid, Sir, aber ich sehe keinen Grund, auch nur zu versuchen, die Art Ihrer emp\u00f6renden Aussagen zu qualifizieren.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Wie w\u00e4re es mit einfacher Physik, Doktor? Verzeiht mir, wenn es ein wenig verd\u00e4chtig erscheint, dass ein planetarischer Einschlag stark genug war.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Es war ein Mond, Mr. Terrell.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Entschuldigung, Doktor. Ich werde eine Frage stellen, um sie zu beantworten, wenn du mich ausreden l\u00e4sst. Wie ist es m\u00f6glich, dass der Aufprall stark genug war, um die planetarischen Fragmente \u00fcber die gravitativ bindende Energie hinaus zu beschleunigen? Au\u00dferdem, so die offizielle Erkl\u00e4rung der UEE, wird der planetarische Schutt von Ellis XI in wenigen Jahren einen Asteroideng\u00fcrtel bilden. Wie ist das m\u00f6glich?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Nun, es ist sehr kompliziert.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich bin mir sicher.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: F\u00fcr den Laien....\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Sie k\u00f6nnen so viel Wissenschaft-it-up machen, wie Sie wollen, Doktor, ich werde mithalten.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Sie m\u00fcssen verstehen, dass der Mond von Ellis XI haupts\u00e4chlich aus Eisen und Platin besteht, was ihm eine Dichte von \u00fcber 7.000 kg\/m verleiht, was h\u00f6her ist als die Erde. Kombinieren Sie das mit der Tatsache, dass Ellis XI eine notorisch minimale Anziehungskraft hatte. Um ehrlich zu sein, war ich eigentlich ziemlich \u00fcberrascht, wie tektonisch instabil Ellis XI sich herausstellte. Bei der Untersuchung der Daten schien es sich sowohl von innen heraus als auch von der Kraft des Aufpralls getrennt zu haben. Wenn man all diese Faktoren zusammenfasst, war es einfach ein -\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Bequeme Wendung von Veranstaltungen?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Gl\u00fccklicherweise w\u00fcrde ich sagen. Zumindest aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ja, es klingt auch f\u00fcr mich sehr praktisch. Ich m\u00f6chte Sie etwas fragen, Doktor. Ich nehme an, du hast das Ereignis gesehen?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Ich hatte das Gl\u00fcck, es von der Ikarus-Plattform aus studieren zu k\u00f6nnen.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Was mussten Sie f\u00fcr diese Gelegenheit tun?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Ich kann dir nicht folgen.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Clay Harren und die UEE \u00fcbten einen wahnsinnigen Griff auf bergbauliche und wissenschaftliche Genehmigungen aus. Ich kenne viele legitime Wissenschaftler und Organisationen, die aus dem \"bedeutendsten wissenschaftlichen Ereignis des Jahrhunderts\" eingefroren wurden. Warum sollten sie das tun?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Ich bin sicher, Sie haben eine Theorie.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich bin froh, dass du gefragt hast: Geld.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Geld?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Die UEE profitierte von der wissenschaftlichen und mineralischen Gemeinschaft, nicht weil wir dabei waren, ein monumentales Naturereignis zu erleben, sondern weil sie einige Kosten f\u00fcr ein Experiment decken wollten.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Oh, ich verstehe, dein Planetenkiller oder wie auch immer du es genannt hast.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich nannte es eine Waffe, Doktor. Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass die UEE nach effektiveren M\u00f6glichkeiten gesucht hat, Welten zu zerst\u00f6ren.\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Ja, nun, als Professor hat die UEE ihre Geheimwaffenprogramme seit geraumer Zeit nicht mehr an mir vorbei laufen lassen. Ich war dort, um zu sehen, wie ein Mond mit einem Planeten kollidiert, und das ist genau das, was ich gesehen habe.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Oh, ich sage nicht, dass der Mond nicht mit dem Planeten kollidiert ist. Ich sage nur, dass sie dieses Ereignis benutzt haben, um einen gr\u00f6\u00dferen Test zu vertuschen, einen Test, um zu sehen, ob ihre Geheimwaffe funktionieren w\u00fcrde. Dieser Grad der Zerst\u00f6rung ist nicht gerade leicht unter den Teppich zu kehren.\n\nERIA QUINT: Okay, wir machen eine kurze Pause -\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich bin noch nicht fertig. Fragen Sie sich selbst, ob Sie eine Waffe entwickelt haben, um einen Planeten in zwei H\u00e4lften zu zerbrechen, von der wir wissen, dass sie nach dem Hades-System m\u00f6glich ist, wie w\u00fcrden Sie sie testen?\n\nERIA QUINT: Warte, unterstellst du, dass der UEE eine hadesische Waffe gefunden hat?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Es ist m\u00f6glich, oder? Ich meine, wer wei\u00df?\n\nDR. JAN WALLACE: Das ist l\u00e4cherlich.\n\nERIA QUINT: Wir werden diese Pause machen und nachladen, um Ihnen mehr ShowDown zu bieten!\n\nENDE TRANSRIPT","zh_CN":"SHOWDOWN!\nAuto-Transcript for S&P and NFSC Submission\nEP: 54:18 : \u201cAtlas Falls\u201d\nERIA QUINT: Hello, this is Eria Quint welcoming you to another edition of ShowDown, where we look at the issues on the hearts and minds of the public, find experts with two opposing viewpoints and set the stage for a heated battle of discourse.
