Five years before! ...
Day one of the New Era...
The New Beginning...
450 miles high, an Alien spaceship is parked undetected above the Earth.
It is not a large or an imposing craft. On its cream-colored sides are printed in alien script,
Property of the Department of Galactic Pollution Control #247414.
“Third consecutive negative reading, Captain."
“I can see that Mr. Blitz. Follow the usual protocol."
“Yes, sir.”
The crew of #247414 had been monitoring ‘The Blue Planet’ since August 7th, 1945.
“Reduce toxic mineral levels by 90%, on land and in the sea."
I.e. lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, radium etc.
“Roger!”
Done by simple elemental transmutation.
“Transmute fossil and atomic fuel sources."
“Aye, aye, sir!”
Petroleum to water... coal to fertilizer... uranium to magnesium... etc.
“Reduce target population by 90%.
Blitz, leave the best of them to start over. "
“Done, Captain.”
8.5 billion inhabitants, downsized to 850 million - famine potential thus reduced, short term.
“Eliminate younglings, cripples, the aged, etc.”
A humanitarian response to life expectancy potential.
“Already completed, sir.”
“Good job, Blitz. Let’s see if they can get it right, this time."
PAUSE…
"Sir?”
“Yes, Blitz.”
“There’s a glitch in the system again."
“Damn! Same as before? "
The obedient underling checked his monitors.
“Roger that, sir. The remaining populace is split between the top 5%, the morally superior, and the bottom 5%, the morally bankrupt. They'll be at each others throat in less than a month."
“Can’t be helped, Blitz...
It’s a marginal planet anyway.
Slap a 7 year sterilization whatchamacallit on their sorry asses.
We should be back around that time, correct?"
“Affirmative, Skipper.”
“Don’t know why they didn't order us to simply vaporize the whole species."
