Probably the worst image of the times was picked up by a couple of our drones roaming over Ocean City, Maryland. Marine life started to appear on the beaches dead or dying. Thousands of people mauled each other and the dead, beached creatures for something to eat. The video was awful particularly since we knew that anyone eating the toxic meat from the oceans would have convulsions and vomiting within 24 hours and would die. The worst thing we saw from these video feeds was that people slaughtered each other for what they thought was good food.
All the coastal cities in the world are gone, sunk into the oceans. The oceans have turned into some viscous polluted mass. The seas and vicious weather pursue us up into the high ground or wherever we go.
I am ending this letter. I will drink a pint of vodka, take many opioids and go into the black. But before that, I will put this letter into the zip lock bag and bury it somewhere.

Our sentient droids scattered around and above this planet have uploaded our data for analyses into the primary ship.
Good.
Make sure that all the sentient programming on this planet is uploaded back into the bio machinery There is much to analyze.
Of course, sir.
Sir, one of our archeo devices has come across what appears to be a first hand account of the demise of this planet.
Good, construct it, translate it and send it to me.
Yes.
Are you ok ,sir?
Yes, this narrative is very sad, moving even. Well, put this in the archives with the other data retrieved from this planet.
