87 people, living not dead, they didn’t have the time to raise the dead survived the destruction of the planet Earth. 6 dogs, 2 birds, and 4 greater mammals were also spared. A humpback whale was one of the choices. No body knew at the time though that the whale was actually named Otto and could speak. Actually, everything was given the ability to speak when brought aboard the IDIOT Fleet. But who wants to hear what an Ostrich has to say.
We were getting ahead of ourselves.
The Planet was doomed.
Not from the scourge of mankind and all our misguided decisions to consume all the fossil fuels and use up all the resources. No, that would have eventually killed us all. The world was doomed by outside forces of business and economics among alien races that have no idea mankind even existed. Well, up until about twenty minutes ago they did not know we existed.
The Intergalatic Department of Industrial Outsourcing and Teleportation Services (IDIOTS) planned to use the nine planets in our solar system as crude fuel for their freighters that were transporting workers from one job site to another. But on this particular day the new recruit at the data analysis terminal decided to follow all protocols in the New Recruit handbook that had just been updated. As this recruit was excelling at his job a small alien stumbled onto the deck. Usually IDIOTS would not give a second thought to an insignificant race such as Humans, but it just happen that a liberal, bleeding heart conservationist was on the bridge of the fleet command ship and saw the results of the scan.
He was a little eight-armed man whose six bulbous eyes were not accustomed to the harsh lighting in the corridors of the command ship. He had to squint his way around the ship and the ships captain was trying very hard to keep the lights at maximum illumination. It was during his blind wandering that the conservationist stumbled into the dimly lit bridge.
