The Doctor led them to the hospitality zone. "So this is a space station?" Peter asked. "No more like an observation deck. The Great and the Good are coming to watch planet burn. Mind you what I really mean is the rich."
"Always the rich" sage said. "No offense Lucy." Lucy smiled. "I understand."
"So how long?" Peter asked. "Until those satellites let the sun expand?" The Doctor checked his watch. "Bout half an hour."
"OK" sage nods
"Who the hell are all of you?" A man asked. They turned see a blue man walking up to them.
" Doctor why don't you show this gentleman our identification. " sage said
"How did you get in. The guests will be arriving any moment." The man said. "That's us we're guests." The Doctor pulled out the Psychic paper and showed it to him." The Doctor." He put it around his back into the other hand. "Lucy plus one" he did it once more. "Peter Parker plus one. These are Sage and Link their the plus ones that alright?" He asked. "Well... Obviously. Apologies Etc. If you are here... We better start. Enjoy." The man walked off.
"That was close" she said
The steward began to introduce the guests. Tree people, including a woman named Jabe. The Mox of Balhoon a small green alien sitting on a hovering structure. The adherents of the repeated meme. consisting of several people with hoods over their heads and robotic hands. And the Face Of Boe. Peter watched in amazement.
"Wow " sage said quietly to herself.
"Now everyone." The Steward said. "Consider the planet below. The many species to come from it. In honor of this dying world we call forth Cassandra. The Last human." He said. What was rolled in did not resemble a human in the slightest. "That... Is that just epidermal tissue?" Peter asked.
"We look more human than than we does" sage said.
"Hello Darlings." She said. She explained that her parents were born on Earth amd the last buried there. That she was over 500 years old. "Gifts will now be bestowed im circulating fashion. Jabe came up to them. "The gift of peace I bring you a cutting of my grandfather." She handed the Doctor a twog in a pot. "Thank you. Yes gifts um... I bring you air from my lungs." The Doctor blew on Jabe. She shivered. "How intamate."
"Do we need gifts?" Lucy asked
"Represents peace it's be rude not to except" the Doctor said. One of the repeated meme walked up to them each holding out a silver ball. "A gift of peace of I'm all good faith." They said. When Peter took one his Spider-Sense went off. He began to look around. Sage would recognize the look on his face.
"something's up." Sage said.
Peter looked at her. He thought for a moment. "Nah. My Spider-Sense is probably adjusting to all this new stuff that's all." He said.
"Are you sure" she said
"Come on. Who'd commit a crime here. Among tons of eccentric trillonairs... Well maybe we should keep an eye out just in case." Peter said.
Sage nods. "Good idea"
Cassandra began again. "I also bring gifts. I give you the last remaining ostrich egg. Legends say that it had a wingspan of 50 feet and spat fire from it's nostrils." She said. "Hey we fought one of those. Wasn't a large pink bird though." Peter whispered.
Sage laughed at the description
"And I brought another gift. Archives say it was an iPod." She said as the staff brought in a large box. "Archives are wrong that's a Jukebox. It plays music." Peter whispered. "It stored music from Earth's greatest classical composers. Play on." The Jukebox started playing toxic. "Classical my webbed-" "Don't swear." The Doctor said. "I was gping to say tushie." Peter said.
"the song is OK" sage said
Peter went to Mee the face of Boe. Link... Had run off. Back to where they landed.
