Breaking News! As of roughly 11:57 PM Orbis Standard Time, Magic 8 Balls have begun to fall from the heavens. The pool-ball imitators have begun piling up in the streets, and destroying anything caught in the storm, which just so happens to be the entire country. Insurance providers across the nation have begun to panic, as paying for all these damages will mean they will need to spend money. 

It seems however, that the average person has more to worry about than dealing with the bureaucracy of an insurance provider's call center. The average Anthian's cardboard-based dwelling is simply inadequate to stop the relentless stream of the Balls, each delivering 800 joules worth of kinetic energy into the frail cardboard. 800 joules just so happens to be how much energy is in a .45 caliber bullet, and it does not need to be said how well people fare against the cleansing fire of hot lead. Numerous deaths are to be expected, but in a country which sends people to fight tanks with their bare hands, there is no doubt nobody would care.
