[ WP ] Sentient , humanoid life has emerged from deep in the crust of the Earth . They did n't come to fight , instead they said , `` We need to get off this rock ''

There was panic, riots, looting, people frantic to escape, when “ they ” came out of the ground. The police were called in and then the guard was mobilized. For a while “ they ” just stood there like odd malformed statues, they were too tall between 10 ’ and 12 ’ from the ground to the top. They had to feet they just sort of formed up from the ground like a partially finished statue. 
 
 After two days they started to move it was like watching icebergs float, slow but with purpose, they spoke in tongues but all of them hundreds of years old, experts were called in and the message was deciphered, they were the inside people and they wanted to leave earth, needed to help us leave and soon. 
 
 Trained by the movies we love the countries of the world went to into complete panic mode, the police and soldiers were suddenly trying to control the riots and keep the rock people safe, it proved a pointless effort in the end, a few people tried to shoot them, the bullets just would sink into the them, rocks, bricks, knives, it would just sink into them and disappear, which was unnerving and the attackers would lose heart. 
 
 Eventually it was figured that the “ soon ” in their plea was something of a misnomer it was soon to them but in our time scale it would be 96 years or so. They called themselves something that could not really be translated well but suggested to call them the blessed. When pressed about it they said it sounded cool… 
 
 The blessed could move through matter unimpeded and they could shape it, like clay but they didn ’ t understand the concept of technology. The translators explained that they were having trouble getting the translations right since they used dialects ranging from 300 to 100 years old and kept changing languages and time periods. To them it was normal they lived a millennium or so and time was looser to them. It was sorted out that the core had some issue they had been maintaining the stable decay but it had all gone pear shaped and the planet was going to go to slag, and they wanted to leave it. To do that they needed us and our ships, they understood we had been to the moon recently and wanted to help us take ourselves with them away. 
 
 Humanity was forged into a loose alliance and started designing rockets, the space elevator was talked about and shot down. We were going to start small and then transition to a space station a giant one like from old tv but the blessed vetoed the idea they needed a planet to live in. In the end we settled on Venus it was a hard sell after years to talking about the moon and mars the people didn ’ t understand, but we had more short term goals now and help. 
 
 The blessed were very good at gathering and collecting the raw materials they were able to pull metals right out of the earth, it felt so sad to gut the planet like they were but it was going to blow up anyway. 
 
 There were wars being fought between religious groups over how true it was or whose god they were. Science had proven the core was having issues, and volcanic activity was increasing worldwide but there were also places like Yellowstone that cooled off lost activity altogether. 
 The ships were simply breathtaking tall gleaming aluminum sculptures, they were made from 3 parts the blessed had wanted to make them one piece but it would have been nearly impossible to put all the parts inside and have it function properly, they were cheating as it was anyway. 
 The blessed and made a launch pad in what was the Atlantic Ocean, they redistributed the land and had build a plateau exactly 18,000 feet above sea level. 
 
 As the launch date approached people began moving to the staging areas with governments and the blessed were ferrying people to the island to begin preparations for launch.
