“Shirley it is,” said the Eternal, amused by this interruption.<br />
“Quiet Ryan, this sounds serious,” Church scolded him.<br />
Granny Pearl continued.<br />
“This Eternal told us that they feel that the planet can no longer sustain<br />
the human race. Unless something is changed, humans will tear the<br />
planet apart, destroying every form of life that Eternals created. It<br />
would be a dead rock floating in space, leaving the afterlife stagnant.<br />
This happened before on another planet, at a time inconceivable, even<br />
by our perceptions of time. We Eternals formed our Earth, its creatures<br />
and an afterlife. Earth is considered young for them and they will not<br />
allow humankind to destroy all other life-forms...The human race must<br />
change ... Or they will destroy them.”<br />
The Eternal then spoke.<br />
“Humans have no concept of time. Their lives centre on one lifetime.<br />
Their History measured by several generations. Before, the planet kept<br />
a status quo, but nowadays humans are belligerent, with the balance<br />
tipped toward destruction. They unsuccessfully modify the life we<br />
created on land, and the oceans are now sour and barren."<br />
The Eternal paused while the information sank in, and then announced.<br />
“Humans consider themselves an intelligent species, but as you will<br />
learn; they are not. We have sent many warnings on the winds, but they<br />
have not heeded them. We Eternals cannot change human nature...But<br />
perhaps you can.”<br />
The team looked astounded and confused.<br />
“How?” Church asked.<br />
