The Enemy

Imagine, if our planet, our species was destroyed in civil war, and only a few remnants of our race were left, if these remnants found out a way to revive our planet and species, if this power was located on another planet and all it would cost was some minor disturbance to go to the planet, get the power-source thingy and return home with it.


Now imagine if,after this revelation, one portion of the remnant decided that the life of our planet and race wasn't worth the possible lives lost on the other planet if we interferred; f this portion believed in this so strongly they even revived the civil war that destroyed us in the first place in order to stop us accidently killing a few lives on an alien planet. Which side do you think would be considered the bad guys?


It would be one thing to be careful, if perhaps you thought the other side would wreck havoc on the alien planet. You could go there yourself, and carefully get this power source, take it safely back home and revive your planet's and species' lives without harming the alien life, but to go so far as to destroy the source for man's redemption in order to save a small percentage of alien life?


I'd call you the enemy.
If you haven't guessed by now I am talking about the baseline plot for Transformers
Go Decepticons!! (even if you have a crummy name)

Tune in next week for a literary analysis of Spiderman's gym shorts! (The eternal question: red on blue or blue on red?)
