Okay . Okay . We ' re all back . Let ' s get the fuck out of here That was Capt . Mark . He was in charge of Mission Reearth . What was supposed to be a twoweek trip had now stretched to almost two months . The crew was selected from thousands of applications on their home planet Mars . Everyone wanted to see what their parent planet was like . Earth had always been the great source of life their ancestors sang praises about . It was the only planet in the solar system after all , that sprang up with all kinds of living organisms ultimately leading to humanity and their drive to populate the universe . They had succeeded , of course . But the complications of survival in an overpopulated and materialistic environment always at the risk of selfannihilation , thanks to the nuclear arms every single country on the planet had acquired , made Earth a very vulnerable place . The people on Mars weren ' t aware of this . Their contact with earth had been lost hundreds of years ago . When the last ship from earth carrying people came to Mars , they told their extraterrestrial partners in the universe that civilization on planet earth had been destroyed completely . And that there was nothing left for anyone to go back to . They were believed but the truth was something else . It managed to stay hidden for generations until a very rich and successful businessman realized that his ancestors were right when they told him that life on Mars was heading in the same direction as Earth . And that if this continued , life will soon become just as vulnerable and prone to destruction as it was on Earth . Interestingly , he was the descendant of the great Elon Musk who was instrumental in establishing colonies on the red planet and propagating life . His was the first manned mission to Mars , after all . Although the Martian colonies managed to have a single governing body throughout the planet without the hassle of a hundred countries and cities , people were still people . More and more incidents of unnecessary violence had been coming to the fore . People were finding ways to divide themselves even though it was agreed upon that unity will be the foremost priority of this society . The primal instincts of insecurity and thus establishing dominance never left the human body and the Martian civilization descended into chaos . It was time to look back to the ancestral home and find ways to solve this problem , the people in charge thought . Mission Reearth came into play . Seven crew members including Capt . Mark set out on this incredible journey . But what greeted them on arrival was something they never thought of in a million years . Haley ! You are hurt . Are you okay ? Did one of them get to you ? No uh no . this is just a scratch from that broken door . I ' ll go get it fixed . Haley was lying . It was no scratch from the door . It was a bite mark . She had got bitten by one of them . But obviously , she didn ' t want to be left alone . So she lied . And hoped that she would cure the wound and survive . Somehow , all seven of them made it back to their ship . It was a miracle given the circumstances . They started their journey back home . It would only take a week ' s time , a big difference from the duration their ancestors took to travel back and forth the two planets . By the time they landed , an entire town came to welcome them . It was a celebration of life . They were happy to see their astronauts back . The doors opened and slowly they started walking out of the plane . Capt . Mark was the first to walk out . But something was not right . He didn ' t look alright . In fact , all of them were starting to look a bit strange . Mars was a happy place . It had its share of problems but it was a happy place . The earth had populated Mars with its species . And now it had infected mars with its species .
