->''"Orders from the Pentagon," Beltine said. "If that thing shows no [[WeComeInPeaceShootToKill signs of aggression that have to be immediately countered]] then I am to put Plan L67 into action. That's you and your team, right?"\\

Rob spoke quietly into his two-way, then turned back towards the lines of troops and vehicles. L67. One of the blue-sky plans that everyone had laughed at. What if a flying saucer lands? What then? Ha-ha. Not only [[WhosLaughingNow weren't they laughing now]], they probably weren't even smiling.''

->''"[[ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld There are only two types of men in the world when it comes to bad trouble]]. Suppose there was a house full of rare paintings and sculptures and fine old antiques, Red? And suppose the guy who owned the house heard there was a monster of a hurricane headed right at it. One of those two kinds of men just hopes for the best. The hurricane will change course, he says to himself. [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense No right-thinking hurricane would ever dare wipe out all these Rembrandts, my two Degas horses, my Jackson Pollocks and my Paul Klees]]. Furthermore, God wouldn't allow it. And if worse comes to worst, they're insured. That's one sort of man. The other sort just [[ProperlyParanoid assumes that hurricane is going to go tear right through the middle of his house]]. If the weather bureau says [[HopeSpot the hurricane just changed course]], this guy assumes it'll change back in order to put his house on ground zero again. This second type of guy knows there's no harm in hoping for the best -- as long as you're prepared for the worst."''

->''Sciona is obviously good at long term planning, but there are simply some scenarios no one is going to predict, like an obtrusive billionaire and his squad of femme fatales showing up in the middle of your heist.\\

It really comes down to managing probability. The neutron star thing? Well below a 1% chance of happening. Like... 0.000000000001%. Actually something which has never happened before is probably impossible to predict, so it would go in the "probably don’t need to worry about it" column. The Leviathan taking up residence in or near the vault? Maybe worth considering, but only to the degree that you prepare in a way that would allow you to deal with any number of large obstacles. Like, I don't know, a grenade launcher. That's the only practical way for someone like Franchise/{{Batman}} to operate. He may not have a specific solution for dealing with Solomon Grundy in his belt, but as long as he has a batarang that can pump 50,000,000 volts through someone, he's probably covered.''

->''"I didn't mention that I was putting together a small emergency packet I was going to keep at the bottom of one utility belt pocket, just in case Ayla Goodkind couldn’t put in an appearance. A couple fake [=IDs=] and matching credit cards. A couple saleable diamonds, a couple valuable but not ultra-rare stamps, and a couple limited edition proof Krugerrands, just in case I needed the ready cash. It would be better to have the packet on hand and never need it, than to need something like that and not have it."''

->'''Soldier''': Got another two and a half pounds of waste here, General Fury. That's approximately forty-three percent of the creature's estimated body-mass right on schedule, sir.
->'''Captain America''': What's all this?
->'''Nick Fury''': Just a little security measure, soldier. The Hulk beat Kleiser by chewing him up and digesting him, right? Well, Kleiser being a shape-shifter and all, let's just say we have to catch whatever comes out the other end and lock it up with all the other little leftovers we captured.
