Then don't use the moon. Global extinction of all life is a bit hard to localize.Why would you hold the planet hostage? That never works.Why not use good ol' massive state violence? It worked in the 20th century, it'll work in the 21st. Just nuke/gas/burn the first city that goes peep to hell and all others will remain silent; the trick is not pretending to be brutal, but being brutal.
Scenarios
1. Earth is not handed over. Moon crashes into Earth. All multi-cellular life driven extinct.
2. Earth is not handed over. UN calls your bluff. Space missiles head your way.
3. Earth is handed over. UN calls your bluff. More space missiles.
4. Earth is handed over. UN somehow does not call your bluff. You have somehow found a way to defend against every country on the planet's weapons. You win! Until it becomes apparent that your only method of ruling is "crash the moon into the earth if things go to shit", as you are woefully undermanned and lack the respect it takes to, well, run an entire planet full of disagreements and competition.
Not necessarily, we seem to be planning to put a lot more resources into R&D than the groundhogs would.Yes, but by the time WE have nanobots, THEY'll have nanobots, therefore the point will be moot.It's a long-term plan.I have an idea for what to do with the moon: Convert it into a Computronium node.Do you have a NanoBotSwarm? No? Then not yet.
Well, you guys did sort of Walk straight in. He would have seen you come in.AFAIK, only Misdirection came in, and she's kinda good at not being seen.
I think twopack is the polite buisness man from YOU AT FINAL BOSS.[4v6,2] Technically, you are in Furtaka's body, but you eject yourself from it. Spinal_Taper manages to avoid deletion. You are now a computer on Phobos.
Why os everyone feel like being in the body?

Open fire.[5] You throw some states at the xenomorphs. It kills some.
Create "Virus that turns anyone who breathes it in into the martian equivalent of their species.[5] You do. It is in a neat sealed container on the Martian surface.
In response to the last few posts:1. Probably. I'd imagine that it would collapse into a non-robot ball of metal and exhaust pretty much all of the ferrous metals in the solar system, and then some.
Re: Giant robots and flinging stars: A robot big enough to have the Earth installed in it would most likely undergo gravitational collapse due to its own mass. And stars are kind of hard to grab a hold of, what with the not being solid and being insanely hot.
Re: Realistic time frame: Technological singularities, man.
Re: Burning down the house: I never said we should destroy the Earth. Just kind of not live there anymore.
Toady adding physics to constructions, que fort melting goodness and reverse cave ins as the candy meeting hall floats away.Candy is as heavy as Styrofoam; unless your meeting hall is regularly submerged in water, it won't ah, I see the problem. Stop flooding your meeting hall.
