"Our planet is dying; we have to leave. There is another nearby world, ready to receive us, but the Governor placates the people with lies and threatens them with arrest or execution instead of acting to save our species. I have a plan, and it will take all I have and more to see it through. I hope I am strong enough."

Written in the style of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles, this story asks the ultimate question: how far would you go to save your world?
