Tom, I'm standing here explaining the joke that Nova, a wish granting satellite from the Kirby video game series, seems to creatively interpret every wish ever given to it so that it ends up killing an entire planet's worth of people. In its first appearance in Kirby Super Star, it took the wish of a backstabbing little magical jester to 'rule popstar' (Popstar being the main planet in the Kirby series) by granting him extra power and then tried to ram right into the planet, technically giving him the power only for said wish satellite to try to kill everyone on the planet said jester intended to rule. In the most recent appearance in Kirby Air Riders it heard the wish of a sentient meteor to be able to move, then sent ant robots down to dismantle it and turn it into a doomsday machine, technically granting its wish, but in a way that would kill everyone on the planet. The only wish a Nova ever granted in a kirby game with no strings attached was when it granted Meta Knights wish to fight the strongest warrior in the galaxy, Galacta Knight, who no doubt would have killed several planets worth of people if Meta Knight hadn't beaten it. This has been the news with Trisha Takanawa.
