"We've got a problem." She said. "Jupiter is rebelling more than ever. They've bombed Earth and Venus, almost destroying them completely." She pressed a button on her ear piece and listened for a moment. She then spoke into it, "Yes, evacuate them at all costs. We want as many as possible out alive."
Officer Lindsey turned back to him and said, "Contact the scientists and tell them we need to work on making Uranus habitable. With around two thousand people per planet and only about 10% of each planet actually in livable conditions, we need another planet open.

The end.
