[He doesn't even blink at the reveal that Duo just. snuck some high power telescopes into this building. Why wouldn't he? You gotta keep an eye on space.]
The "meteor" is due to hit the atmosphere shortly before dawn, Eastern Standard Time. [It's the only fact they know, unfortunately, but Duo's right; he has no idea how fast this thing is moving, or when to expect it.] It'll probably be too late to mobilize if we wait here until we can see it. [Then he frowns.] Duo, what's even up there to launch something in this universe? [He's been taking that question for granted, because he's so used to there being plenty of potential sources up there. He has to actively remind himself that there shouldn't be anything, besides what the imPorts had put up there.] --This couldn't be coming from the moon base, could it?
[Duo hums] Lunar launch's cutting it close, right? --I guess they could, theoretically, get away with it. Not as much surveillance as we're used to.
But-- jeez, that'd only give a couple hours at most for us to detect and intercept. [Duo grumbles. He knows the trip from L2 like the back of his eyelids, but this was a different world, with different technology. While that would theoretically give them more time than they're used to, they had no idea what they were looking for.]
...I've only been to the base once, but under imPort scrutiny, how they could hide something like that in a fledgling base..... Mm, I guess it's possible there's hidden facilities. [He frowns. He really should have stuck around, made sure everything there was to it. He'd inspected as much as he could at that opening, but...] ...Only one way to find out.
