Planet Looters/Quotes

""It has been clear that there has been no attempt at communication. No demands, nothing like that. So obviously, they are here for our resources. When you invade a place for its resources, you wipe out the indigenous population. Those are the rules of any colonization. And right now, we are being colonized.""

""New data shows that they are using our water as a fuel source, and our ocean levels are already dropping. They are using it to power their ships, their machinery, possibly even their own bodies.""

- Battle: Los Angeles

"Lex Luthor: Say you succeed. You absorb all the information on Earth and then destroy it. Then what?

Brainiac: I repeat the process across the entire universe, until I have recorded all knowledge and destroyed all of creation.

Lex Luthor: And then?

Brainiac: Then my program is complete. My function is fulfilled."

- Justice League Unlimited -- Divided We Fall

"The aliens came

From a far distant world

In a large yellow ship

That blinked as it twirled."

"It rounded the moon,

And entered our sky.

We knew they had come

But we didn't know why."

"Bright the next morning,

With noisy commotion,

The ship slowly moved

Out over the ocean."

"It lowered a tube

And drained the whole sea

For transport back home

To their galaxy."

"The tube then sucked up

The clouds and the air,

Causing no small amount

Of Earthling despair."

"With nothing to breathe,

We started to die.

'Help us! Please stop!'

Was the public outcry."

"A hatch opened up

And the aliens said,

'We're sorry to learn

That you will soon be dead,"

"But though you may find

This slightly macabre,

We prefer your extinction

To the loss of our job.'"
