Titus
informs Jupiter of her significance to the family, and Jupiter
is tempted by the appeal of living a better life, until she discovers the fate of those
on Earth; it
is merely one of many
planets in the royal family's possession, and its sole purpose
is for the
humans, once they have rendered life
on Earth unsustainable, to
be harvested in order to create a formula that grants the royals eternal life.
One thing we need to bear in mind
is that «wise, thinking, science -
informed human beings» have only
been on this
planet for about 250 years, some would say only 60 years or so.
