Reply to comment by thunderous2007 in [WP] The alien diplomatic vessel is approaching Earth after announcing it's coming in peace. However, something went deeply wrong - an automated nuclear launch detection system interpreted it as a hostile nuclear launch and launched a response volley. by Mashaaaaaaaaa

I don't exactly understand what's going on at the end there

The aliens are the Masters, they can't attack others just defend so they Made us "attack".

I believe a very high risk area such as a nuclear launch room would have just a few cameras at least, if not several hundred cyber security forces on top of it 24/7. All it takes it that one video recording to be shown to any allies helping

It's an IA so cameras and audio relays on it, as a secure zone so no cellphones.

And is not that the US attacked, we the human race attacked a diplomatic vessel

Basically, the aliens can't attack, they can only defend. a real-life example would be Japan. Hence the launched missile gives them an opportunity to respond in kind.
