[ WP ] It turns out that alien lizard people were indeed running the world from behind the scene . One day , they are finally able to get back to their own planet and say their goodbyes . Humanity runs into an unexpected problem : the world was way better with someone running it from the shadows .

The Lizardmen of the world were all gathered on the most advanced spacecraft that the humans had ever built. The members of the Illuminati, the Freemasons and the IRS toasted themselves with wine and champagne. 
 
 It had been countless years, but humanity had finally invented FTL travel and now they were able to return home. All that manipulation and plotting had paid off. They said goodbye to their human compatriots and blasted off on their rocketship. 
 
 Not seven hours after they left the Earth's orbit did they detect a nuclear explosion on the surface of Earth. Two lizards discussed this in one of the luxury compartments of the spaceship. 
 
 `` We should go back,'' said Jonathon, the lizardman. He did n't seem so enthuastic about his wine anymore. 
 
 Elizabeth, the other lizardman, hissed and shrugged, `` It's not our problem anymore.'' 
 
 `` They're going to destroy themselves,'' Jonathon almost whispered, looking at his sister with incredulity. As if he was just realising the reprecussions of their departure. 
 
 `` They've been destroying eachother since the dawn of their civilization. We merely delayed the inevitable long enough for them to achieve spaceflight.'' 
 
 `` With the proper guidance they can achieve great things. They already have.'' 
 
 `` Yes, with the proper guidance even a slug crawling upon a rotten tree can achieve great things,'' Elizabeth spat. `` Perhaps it can even be the most intelligent slug that ever sat on a rotted tree. But what of it's guide? They gain nothing, but the loyalty of the slug. And when has that ever been a laudable goal?'' 
 
 Elizabeth sighed, `` Forgive me, brother. The preparations for the launch had been stressful.'' Elizabeth looked into her brother's eyes and spoke with a softer tone of voice. And with less hissing. 
 
 `` I know you've had some attachments to the humans in the past, but please listen to me when I say that there is nothing you can do,'' Elizabeth pleaded. `` These people are savages. It is better to think of them as nothing more than a stepping stone to our ultimate goal. The goal of our ancestors and the goal that we have sucessfully accomplished. Do not *ruin* this, brother.'' 
 
 Jonathon stared at her, indignant, yet offering no arguement. He downed the rest of his wine and tried his best to remain gloomy and upset for the rest of the journey.
