[edit] Opening narration

When fear is too terrible, when reality is too agonizing, we seek escape in manufactured danger, in the thrills and pleasures of pretending-in the amusement parks of our unamusing world. Here, in frantic pretending, Man finds escape and temporary peace, and goes home tired enough to sleep a short, deep sleep. But what happens here when night comes? When pretending ends, and reality begins?

[edit] Plot

Seven Earthlings are trapped on a spaceship by an alien. He wants to use them to colonize a planet that will cause destruction both to his own planet and to Earth in the near future. Unfortunately most of the Earthlings don't want to colonize the planet and attempt to commandeer the ship.
