`` Guys, guys'' said Mark, bursting into the club. 
 
 A needle screeched on a record and the music, and everyone in the club, stopped. 
 
 `` Everyone's dead'' said Mark 
 
 `` How did we hear him over the music?'' 
 
 `` Do we still use records?'' 
 
 `` Wait what?'' 
 
 `` Everyone's dead'' 
 
 Everyone in the club looked down at themselves then at each other. 
 
 `` No we're not'' 
 
 `` No, on Earth, everyone's dead'' said Mark 
 
 `` How?'' 
 
 `` They nuked themselves'' 
 
 `` Why did they do that?'' 
 
 `` You idiot, the real question is how'' said Doug 
 
 `` They nuked themselves'' said Mark 
 
 `` Why did they do that?'' said Doug 
 
 `` You idiot, the real question is when'' said Bill 
 
 `` Recently'' said Mark 
 
 `` But how?'' said Bill 
 
 `` You idiot, the real question is who'' said Janice 
 
 `` Humans on Earth'' said Mark 
 
 `` But… what...?'' 
 
 `` Dammit we're going in circles'' said Doug `` The real question is what does this mean for us?'' 
 
 `` We should dance on it'' said Bill 
 
 The music started up. Everyone started dancing and taking drugs. 
 
 `` No no, stop the music'' said Mark 
 
 A record scratched and the music stopped. 
 
 `` Hey, we were taking drugs to that'' said Janice 
 
 `` Do n't you see, we ca n't do that anymore'' 
 
 `` Why not?'' said Janice 
 
 `` You idiot the real question is how not'' 
 
 `` The reason we've been able to party and do drugs all the time is because Earth has sent us all the supplies we need'' 
 
 `` What does that mean?'' said Bill 
 
 `` You idiot, the real question…'' 
 
 `` Shut up Doug that joke has run it's course'' said Mark `` Sorry, sorry, I'm just on edge. Without Earth we have to learn how to be self sufficient'' 
 
 `` But we do n't know how to be self sufficient'' said Janice `` All we know how to do is dance'' 
 
 `` And do drugs'' said Bill 
 
 `` Then damn it we're going to make that work for us'' said Mark `` DJ'' 
 
 **Two Months later** 
 
 Mark popped a couple of pills in his mouth as he danced between two strangers. He felt a tap on his shoulder. 
 
 `` Were we supposed to do something'' said Janice 
 
 `` That sounds right'' 
 
 `` What was it'' 
 
 `` Drugs?'' 
 
 `` That sounds right'' 
 
 **Venus** 
 
 The Venusian president sat at his desk. An aid burst into his office. 
 
 `` Sir, sir'' 
 
 `` What'' 
 
 `` You idiot, the real question is who'' said the aid 
 
 `` Who?'' 
 
 `` Mars'' 
 
 `` What happened?'' 
 
 `` They've gone dark, but we do n't know why'' 
 
 `` You idiot, the real question is when…ok we're done here''
