Crashing Comet

We cut over to the country of Thay, into the capital eltabber. Red wizards are scrambling the streets with magic sensor equipment pointed towards the sky, alongside more terrestrial telescopes and binoculars. furious calculations and magical experiments are being conducted as cleaning crews of zombies and low rank and file casters sweep the streets for broken glass to reattach to peoples homes using mending. We then pan to a newspaper stand currently releasing todays wave of origami enchanted newspaper airplanes to fly to their subscribed locations, one of which lands through the next doors mail chute into the waiting hands of a customer. The origami unfolds into a clean, uncreased version of todays news with the following headline in "The Red Letter Forum": "Celestial Havoc and you, The arrival of a new sky being"
"Today marks an auspicious day for the citizens of Thay, as it appears that we have born witnesses to a new form of life out in the stars. Just last week in our article prior, the Constelatarian branch of research by our magocratic elite was but a token group of sages, studying a field with no apparent gain. However, the recent events have shown that there is in fact something of worth to begin studying out there. 2 days ago, by sheer coincidence, young Cresty Dweebus, a thoroughly unremarkable sorcerer, was watching the stars and saw what looked to be a comet passing over the surface. However, upon using divination magic to look further into it, he noticed that the trajectory of the comet was in fact moving in an erratic non-standard pattern, and it was heading towards our plane at an accelerated rate before seeming to vanish completely. Dweebus was unable to get more than a fuzzy image with divination magic, but it appeared to be some sort of either creature or craft moving through space. However, recognizing that the object was going to pass by Eltabber given its current trajectory, Dweebus made to contact the cities officials in order to prepare for either some form of attack or arrival. However, up until this point Dweebus was not a respected member of the magocratic community, and despite his warnings he was ignored. A mistake many of them felt today as the comet like UFO passed invisibly overhead of the city. Once again magic was unable to pick up anything regarding the actual nature of the UFO, as it was invisible and only flew over the city for a second, however the shockwave of it's immense speed blew out the windows of most everything in the city. Cleaning crews are still working towards repairing the damage, and government officals have now commissioned Dweebus and the Constelatarian Branch to commit further research to identifying the mysterious UFO. As well, given the nature of what has been identified, aid in the creation of defenses against outer plane threats and begin in earnest developing our own methods of traversing the stars. After all, it's a new frontier of conquest that nobody else on the plane has even thought to look into, and with confirmation, whether biomechanically or magically, that such travel is possible, it has reignited interest in a long dormant field of research. For those who have also developed an interest in the subject, please turn to page 34 in the magocratic newsletter section for a primer of current research on the topic, and subscribe using the tearaway mini plane for upcoming updates.
