Twenty thousand years after humanity's demise, Earth has surrendered to legions of voracious beasts who now wander the earth freely. Far away in space, the last remaining members of mankind float aimlessly aboard the same spacecraft they used to escape Earth so many years ago. With the spacecraft running dangerously low on resources, the survivors' governing council must make a decision: should they continue to gamble on finding another Earth-like planet to inhabit, or should they take to heart an anonymous essay speculating on what may be the only weakness of the "Godzilla," who forced the last remnants of humanity off their home world? Haruo, a guy who witnessed his parents' deaths at the hands of Godzilla, is the author of the contentious article.
