Nostradamus had predicted that aliens were going to do some spooky stuff on top of a big steel structure in Paris.

Notes
This was an entry in Speed-IF 4. It was written by L Ross Raszewski under the pseudonym of DorianX.
The footnotes are downright hilarious, but otherwise this is *really* repetitive.
