Just who is running this universe, anyway? Bureaucratic androids in the Intergalactic Civil Service, that's who. And they are arguing over what to do about that troublesome little planet, Sol 3. The dominant species of Sol 3 has been misbehaving for millennia. Perhaps the whole planet should simply be terminated? With the countdown ticking away, are there enough arguments in favour of the human race to save Earth? (Variable cast size, variable gender for all roles. Can use video and mime to incorporate a larger cast.)
