The next few pages were done on my laptop instead of the main working computer. Sorry in advance if that'll cause something to look weird.

Now the only thing up in the air is whether or not they know (at least right now) that the humans were responsible for the crash. I don't know how they're going to react if they find out.

Granted, the shuttle was in military airspace, but it's not like they could've known that.

They're in space, and we have no effective ground-to-space weapon systems. We lose any fight right there.

Comments section for page 46, including comments by the author, describes some other reasons they might feel confident throwing down with us.

Thankfully the Alliance does have experience of a near war brought about by "poor communications". So even if they find out their shuttle was shot down, they would probably refrain from immediately attacking. Especially since this encounter with Terra seems to be a side-show to something more important.

Well, the Alliance mission knows that they were sneaking around behind the Earth people's backs in the expectation that they wouldn't get spotted. If they're thinking clearly, they'll realize that their shuttle could easily be perceived as an enemy if it did get spotted. Now, whether or not they DO think clearly about this, and how much they'll care about the what the humans were thinking... those are the million-credit questions.

TRIVIA
So far there hasn't been a single instance of a massive interstellar war. Due to the vastness of space, there's no territorial or economic gain from it. The presence of armed spaceships is still warranted for keeping space travel safe and for peacekeeping or policing missions since unexpected events or rogue states can still happen and might require force as a solution.
