[ WP ] It 's the end of the world , and I feel fine .

`` I think you're overstating things a little Jeremy, it's not that bad.'' said Rick. 
 
 `` It's easy for you say, you're not the one who is getting their planet `` reconstituted''. What do you expect these people to say? `` It's the end of the world, and I feel fine.''?'' said Jeremy, moving to his console to begin the preparation sequence. 
 
 `` Look, all I'm saying is that calling this a genocide is an overstatement. We're moving them all off world, they'll get a new life somewhere else, they'll be happy there.'' said Rick, moving to his own console. 
 
 `` Oh yeah, I'm sure they'll take great comfort in that. And what about the non-sapient beings we're leaving there? There are a billion species on that planet, and we're just moving one of them. You think that's ok?'' said Jeremy, punching the commands into his console more forcefully than necessary. 
 
 `` Why is this one bothering you so much? This is a standard relocation. Moving this planet opens up a lightline that will save 3 to 4 years lost in dilation. You think that's a small thing? You know we need to do this from time to time, and we're saving as much as we can from the planet.'' Rick replied. 
 
 `` I, look, I'm just sick of doing this to these poor species. They're not even consulted. It's not even this planet, it's the last one.'' said Jeremy, pausing his command entries and looking at Rick. 
 
 `` You remember Delta-764? The Juntari?'' said Jeremy. 
 
 `` Yeah of course, that smell is unforgettable.'' Rick said with a smirk. 
 
 `` Well they're all dead, Rick.'' Jeremy said, looking back to his console. 
 
 `` What?'' said Rick. 
 
 `` The planet we moved them too had latent, but toxic, levels of nitrogen 3. We never sweep for it because we've never seen a species that had a sensitivity to it. But they did. And they're all dead.'' said Jeremy, looking down at the floor as his continued. 
 
 `` And we did that. In the name of progress, for the betterment of the GalCiv or for whatever other bullshit reason we tell ourselves. We did it, and we're doing it again.'' said Jeremy, looking back to up to Rick. 
 
 `` I do n't want to be responsible for another extinction.'' said Jeremy. 
 
 Rick stared at Jeremy for a second, his face was a blank slate, the shock of the news seeming to sink into him. 
 
 `` How could that of happened. I thought we had procedures for this. Why was n't it reported more widely?'' Rick said, gathering himself. 
 
 `` I only found out yesterday from an old friend from the academy. He works for Xeno Relocation, they're conducting an internal investigation to go over their procedures.'' said Jeremy. 
 
 The 2 men, the 2 friends, looked at each other. 
 
 `` I guess you really were n't overstating things.'' Rick said in a low voice. 
 
 Their commanding officer entered the deck, they looked back to their consoles and carried on with their work.
