Secret Service agents appeared at Elon’s sides and grabbed his arms. By their strength, they had to be animatronics.
“Why?” Elon asked. “If you are sure that I will return to a ruined planet, why not let me leave?”
“If you leave, the others will want to also,” his commanding lookalike replied. “I cannot have you giving them hope. It is not in the best interests of the elite.”
“Which are…?”
“To use up this planet’s resources, then move on to the next.”
“But if we can fix—"
“We cannot!” The lookalike narrowed its eyes. “Throw him into the cryochamber.”

Unto the Fearful Ocean
The village stunk of fear… or was it the villagers themselves? The crowd stared in awe as the knight and his squire moved past, both ahorse, and surely the most impressive sight they had seen for ages. Everett had been a squire for almost a year, and this was the first time he had accompanied the knight on a king’s errand.

The elite title says it all. Hahaha.
Why does every alien need earth, earth wants other planet exploration too. Geez. When do we get to go.
Ugh, they are like parasites, lol
Ah. Definitely a nice spin on the human idea of terraforming other planets. An intriguing continuation, Stephanie. Well done.
