I wanted to make it sound like the launch would have happened too fast for the Coalition to do anything about it? Like, the UEE probably wouldn't get thrifty when safeguarding one of their most valuable pieces of ordnance and give Alice the equivalent of a bottle rocket to escape in

Even so, maybe you could send one of your lackeys to go find where it landed and destroy it, just to be safe? Though Alice would prolly be long gone by then
