A Fortunate Happenstance

“Qaevix, humans are highly resilient. What if the neural influencer fails?” asked Golqut.

“Sir, I’ve got a back-up plan.”

“Which is?”

“The galactic holoprojector, sir.”

“But Qaevix, we’ve only used it to trick invaders. It’s not even real.”

“True, sir. However, I can project a doomsday asteroid to scare them off the planet.”

“Are you sure it’d work, Qaevix?”

“Yes, sir, someone used something similar on our ancient ancestors, right here, 65 million years ago.”

“But, a real asteroid did strike. Correct?”

“A fortunate happenstance, sir, our ancestors fled on time.”

“Qaevix, wait, our ancestors? Here?”

“Yes, sir, we’re home!”
