As they saw off the rocket launch, they couldn't help but just watch their last ditch effort leave a trail behind until it went out of sight.

  "Do you think it can even survive the trip?" said Doctor Parson "Like, I know in theory it should but-"

  "But nothing," the solemn Professor Rawnsley sighed "we couldn't have done anymore without putting them in more danger than we're trying to save them from". He continued to stare up at the trail.

  A woman curled her arm around his and clutched it tight "Don't mind him," she took her sleeve and dried his teary eyes "he's just happy that some part of us survived this".

  "I just wish..." the Professor took a shaky breath "I just want to know they'll do okay".

  "After what we've done to our own planet, I just hope God or whoever is out there is kind to them".

  "I didn't take you for the religious type Rose" Rawnsley gazed down at her.

  "We thought what we were doing was right, but we are what they called us. Eco-terrorists. We thought we could send humanity back to their roots and in the end, we doomed every living creature on this planet. 6 billion dead and the rest are waiting it out until it's their time too".

  "We perverted Mother Nature, and she snapped back at us." The burly professor disengaged from Rose and sat on the ground "We were fools to think we spoke for her".

  The Professor laid down, put his hands on his chest and stared up at what was left of The Moon.
