Welcome dear readers. Thanks for being here.
We’ve been discussing the life and times of Marcus Johnson, the man known as the Founder on planet Harappa and the Messiah on Earth.
After his second disappearance he returned to the public with the announcement that he was looking for two thousand people to take a one way trip to a newly discovered planet that Johnson had renamed Harappa. Earth scientists had recently found a way to find the signs of life on exoplanets and Harappa was full of the stuff of life.
There were some concerns that its orbit seemed unstable. There was something in its vicinity that was tuggin on it. We now know that that was the Blue Moon a small gas giant that was a companion of Harappa until Harvest Day when the two bodies were separated by an illumaphane blast on Harappa.
Most people thought Johnson was nuts. How could he even consider taking a one way trip to another planet without sending a probe first?
He did not have any problems finding volunteers. Thousands of people wanted a way out. He spent several months weeding out people he felt didn’t fit the psychological profile required to build a new civilization.
He and his followers were forgotten shortly after he left. The data regarding the livability of the planet was lost in the great computer crash shortly after Johnson’s departure. Eventually Johnson and his followers became more myth than reality.
When the Greenies based their religion on him and his supposed writings I think most of them did not believe he even existed for real.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
