Alien Non-Interference Clause
 Can of Worms / int_867f9f5c
comment
Alien Non-Interference Clause: Earth apparently has special protections placed on it due to the fact that humanity have not achieved a specific technological level yet - by sending the transmission, Mike ensures that the planet is no longer eligible for these protections, and it isn't long until alien races begin making their way to the planet. It isn't until the end when Barnabus manages to restore it.
