Ours golden orb was changing, slowly turning orange. We were told not to worry. They drilled deep into the earth’s core to extract energy. They placed energy collectors in space. They built many AIs to research into mankind’s biggest problem.

Nothing seemed to answer our need, then AI number 29, suggested encasing the earth in a steel globe. We smelted the moon and raided Mars for precious minerals. Slowly but surely the earth was enclosed trapping heat and keeping the oceans liquified. How long the energy pumped up from the earth’s core would last no one knew. For the moment life on earth continues. Yet we no longer built houses by the sea, no longer pray in church, no longer drive cars, but we are survivors. However AI number 490 tells us that our ancestors will need to relocate to Venus and later to Mercury. We will survive
