Fate of the smokin' Joes script

It started with the idea of an asteroid headed for earth and grew into this.
This shows the hazards of daydreaming.

Come in Earth! This is Space Post Omega.
An asteroid is headed straight for you!

Confirmed! We're
picking it up on

Hey..you know the USSR has fallen,
you can come down now.
I know, but this is the only place
we can still smoke.

Is the ship ready?
tech- The SSV is not quite ready,
much testing to be done.
Now!

I'll need a co-pilot.

Good luck!

How's she running?
Excellent Commander,
well within norms.
Any radiation detected?
Very little.

Fire all weapons.

But when the dust clears...
Just holes!

Weapons had minimal effect.
Now what?

We'll capture it,
place it in Earth orbit.

Get in front of it!
