. . . with no Morlocks Fast-forwarding to Earth's distant future and the planet is now uninhabitable and generally hostile to life as we know it. We see our sole-surviving Earthling, returned to Earth at this time in the future after having been collected by the aliens aboard this ship while quietly walking on a beach back in 2015. This is serious. Our hapless human wont survive much longer in these conditions. The thin air. The heat. No food or water. No shelter. We saw the Earth's oil supplies dry up early in the 22nd Century. But we were wrong! Here in the distant future the stuff bubbles up through the rock and forms pools before something ignites it and it burns for a while then dies out. Anyway, it looks as though the aliens have had a change of heart and will take our weary time traveller back to a more compatible home. Well, we hope so.
