It must have been strange for them to wake up after 44 years of artificial slumber. There were 2,074 passengers aboard that massive transport, Leviathan, that brought them to our planet. I have often thought about what it must have been like when the robotic AI aboard their ship began the process of awakening them, when they were 1 day out from their destination, a planet they called HD 40307g, but to us is simply home.
            Apparently, we were the last hope for the human race. We were the only habitable planet in the known Universe that was a realistic distance from their planet, which they called Earth. These colonists were to be the last step in an experiment to determine whether or not their civilization could survive in an environment so alien to them. If not, extinction was imminent for the humans, as their planet was about to die.

            That was in the year 3516. We had hoped that after everything they had been through this second chance would be a new beginning. After over a century of sharing our home with them, it is clear that we have made a critical mistake. The humans have been a plague on our planet, a plague we must now cure. I believe that if we do not act swiftly we will no longer be able to, and our home shall soon meet the same fate as theirs.

            Of course I know that I must be loyal to my people above all else, and so I always have been. Nonetheless, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of despair when the council voted in the affirmative of Secretary’s motion. As the Minister of Homeland Security and Immigration it will be my responsibility to carry out the eradication of an entire race. A race that is mostly good, but has been unfortunately doomed by a greedy few. And so I am faced with a choice, follow through with my commands and drive the humans into extinction or defy my people and save them.

            On a personal note, which I can tell no one, I have fallen in love with one of them. And I know when this order is carried out there can be no exceptions.
