Page 4 of 4 Christ’s visit did in time establish one of the main religions on Earth, but
in all other aspects the plan was a failure. For the next two thousand years
wars raged uncontrolled across the planet, often with one or both sides
invoking Christ’s name.
Though comparatively peaceful at the moment, the humans now have access to
weapons capably of destroying all life on the planet. The next major conflict
will be the last.
CURRENT POSITION
The background to this report reveals an unhealthy planet. The failure of
the Beytrip plan, as with all other human populations, is self-evident. There
is still a great reliance on religious personalities, Christ and others, which
have in effect restrained healthy progress.
In addition to the threat of self-destruction, the ecology of the planet is
in a poor state. The atmosphere is poisoned by human manufactured chemicals;
the number of oxygen producing plants (Class. 18/468/GHY45) is falling at an
alarming rate; mineral resources are being depleted and wasted; and the fluid
covering most of the planet (Solution XCF57) cannot break down the waste from
human industry.
In short, the humans of Earth will be destroyed by themselves or by their
environment. After this event the planet will be severely, if not irreparably,
damaged. I have taken steps to salvage the situation.
ACTION
I have purchased Earth from J. Christ Inc. for 16,000 Central Credits, an
amount well within budget. Christ was eager to sell and I am grateful for his
assistance in compiling this report.
All animal life on the planet will be temporarily removed to the pens on
Cruyos and will be returned later.
Unfortunately, my attempt to sell the human stock has not succeeded as no
buyers could be found. Therefore, the human population will be destroyed. The
Solar Wind Cleaning Company has been hired for this task. They will then
restore the planet’s atmosphere and fluid to its original condition.
Construction will then begin on the Palfrem Resort Complex, to be completed
by the time Galactic Highway 9685 comes into operation.
For the first time since its construction, Earth will be of lasting benefit
to the civilized universe.
I remain your obedient servant,
