“President, I have news on Exodus.” His aide said.

“What is it?” The President asked, looking up from the report he was reading.

“Apparently, they are just a noisy version of many other anti-governmental protest groups.”

“Is there any chance of some sort of attack on us?”

“Not likely, since they apparently have a membership of about six people.”

“Six?” The president laughed, “Only six out of sixty billion on 20 planets?”

“Yes sir, they are apparently all extremely talented programmers that were able to make the six emails that they sent out look like they came from six million people.”

“As long as they don’t become a serious threat, all we really have to do is keep an eye on them. That is all you have to do.”

“Hopefully, Exodus doesn’t have to resort to horrible attacks to get their goals.”

As the aide turns around, he pulls out a small silvery sphere and presses the button on top.

The capital and the surrounding city vanish in a flash of light.
