På tunnelbanan på väg söderut, vid Slussen kliver
ett ungt par in i vagnen och sätter sig mittemot.

HON: Spikrakt kolsvart hår som står åt alla håll.
Mjölkvitt puder i ansiktet, knallröda läppar
och blyertsgrå ögon. Kort, rutig kjol. Trasiga
nätstrumpor. Svarta, grova kängor. Svart
skinnjacka. Rosa, stickad tröja med långa
ärmar som täcker händerna.

HAN: Korpsvart hår i en tuppkam som står rakt
upp och runt hela huvudskålen som en spikklubba.
Smala ben, svarta jeans, spetsiga skor och massor
av nitar på jackan.

Flickan lutar försiktigt sitt huvud mot pojkens axel.
Kurar ihop sig som en liten fågelunge och sticker ena
handen in mellan hans lager av kläder.

Pojken ruskar sig för att bli av med flickans närhet.
Flickan viskar något och söker ny kontakt.

Pojken väser: Dra åt helvete!

Och nästan obemärkt, alldeles tyst som för att inte
störa viskar pojkens mjuka Själ i flickans öra:

Men gör du det då tar jag livet av mej...

Flickans tårar rullar sakta igenom pudersockret
på kinderna och faller som glaspärlor mot golvet...

Tom - the Spokesman of The Council of Nine - says:

- Your Planet Earth is the most beautiful planet that exists in the Universe. It has a physical variety that no other planet has. It has a varied climate that no other planet has. In all the Universe there is no planet in existence that has the physical characteristics of Planet Earth.

It is the rarest of beauties, and it does attract souls which, once they have come, would like to come back again. It is of a different nature from any other planet. It has aspects of all planets: it is like a composite of the Universe, with all the positive and all the negative aspects, and all in between, and this is what attracts souls. It has with it a gravitational pull that is different from other planets, and because of this a soul begins to feel – for the first time - a physicalness. Souls become adapted to their physical bodies, and they forget the freedom and pleasures they have without it. The Earth was created to be a paradise. When a soul achieves harmony it will become a paradise again. This is your planet of balance,

for you to learn to balance between the physical and spiritual worlds. Planet Earth is the only one of its kind, the only planet of free choice in the entire Universe, the planet created for the balancing of the spiritual with the physical; in other words, the creating of paradise...

Now, reason, investigate and contemplate this thoroughly. All that has been sent into space from Planet Earth is being reflected back, so those of Planet Earth may understand that when you create a catastrophic situation, it has a big effect on others. What one unit does, it does to all...
