Elder 1: The Age of disillusionment and decay is Over.Elder 1: I have never before witnessed, A mass telepathic execution, But Today, the remanants of our society have displayed their disheartenment and desperation.Elder 1: They have judged the senior elder to be ineffectual and have terminated his appointment in the harshest manner; The Gravity of our situation is Extreme.Elder 2: Mars is incapable of sustaining life, our efforts to maintain the biosphere are exhausted. The water tables and temperature decrease annually, As does our population.Elder 3: The only consequential course of action is the conquest and occupation of Earth, Our young sunward neighbor.Elder 2: Earth is abundant with life and resources are bountiful. The Enviromment will seem uncomfortable but not inhibitive.Elder 4: The problem is of course The Humans; They have developed primitive intelligence yet their society is structured around perpetual conquest and conflict; A Rapid offensive to their social and economic heart, should prevent any signifigant opposition.Elder 5: The means and methods for this attack are already being realized; A large-scale hydrogen accelerator will be constructed, This will launch suspension pods carrying the assault forces.Elder 5: We have not had the need for such destructive weaponry in over 5,000 years, But modifications to our current technologies will take place and should prove adequate to defeat the inferior human defenses.Elder 2: The Tenth pod has been launched. Given that the pod launchsite was one earth-day, the first has already arrived and is commencing the invasion.Elder 1: Contact has been re-established with the first pod.Martian Pilot 1: I must report unfortunate news. The attack has proven miscalculated.Martian Pilot 1: The Earth’s atmosphere was entered without incident.
