[ IP ] Observation Deck

The capital ship warped out of hyper space and sat before the planet Earth. Grand Admiral Jones looked at the beautiful planet. From the command deck of the ship the Earth looked so quiet and peaceful. 
 
 Granted the planet was peaceful, the most peaceful in its history. Mainly because almost all human life on it was wiped out decades ago! 
 
 The only ones who were spared from death were the millions who lived in the off world colonies. Jones had only seen video and pictures of Earth in it's hay day. Those years before space travel where people lived in cities and suburbs and the only things they cared about were the people who played on things called `` reality'' Tv shows. 
 
 He watched as the science team fired off several probes to do a quick scan of the world below them. 
 
 `` Report.'' Jones bellowed. A medical robot and a young and beautiful sicence officer walked up to their leader. 
 
 `` Sir, first wave probes show that the atmosphere can still support human life.'' the robot said. The female science officer looked over her notes before speaking. 
 
 `` It is unknown if Diaboli ex machina is still a threat or not. We wont know that until we send a scout team.'' she said. 
 
 Diaboli ex machina was the name of the bio-weapon and unknown group unleashed onto the world. The name was roughly translated to `` Devil from Machine'' even though most Latin experts agreed that was the wrong words to use... 
 
 No one cares about that now. The bio weapon killed all those who could n't find a way off the planet. 
 
 `` Send a team.'' Jones said. The robot and the doctor both bowed their heads and walked away. 
 
 Jones sighed as he looked down at the blue planet. This world had to be safe. Humans were being chased off all the other planets they came to. If they could n't live back on their original home world they they will sadly die off in these huge capital ships. 
 
 Jones silently prayed to any and all gods that would care to listen to him as he waited for the team's report.
