It should also be pointed out that the Earth and the Solar system in which it resided, were still intact due to unforeseen and totally illogical but quite fantastic circumstances. But that's another story.

Last train to Venus

 

                    So back to the plot. An advertising campaign was launched. "Happy Homes for Happy People". But despite new found feelings, the proposed mass exodus was more or less doomed to failure because of a total lack of organisation and also because of a group of billionaires who got together to resist the LUV. In fact they didn't appear to interact with the LUV field at all. For a while they denied that the Earth was rapidly becoming a second Venus and successfully blocked all tempts to prove it.

 

Welcome to the Moon

 

                      In the end, however, even they had to see the truth though they never admitted this publicly. Instead they quietly moved to a private and secret club called "The Silver Spoon" which they had had built on the site of an ancient lunar base on the far side of the moon. Here, with the help of a recently formed but surprisingly well renowned spaceship designer and travel agency called PIPER, they plotted their getaway in custom built luxury craft featuring the latest in cryogenic technology and fully automated golf courses each with it's own private club and blazer. Little did they know that the then unknown but already legendary head of the PIPER group had other plans for them and , as the story goes, one night as they were downing brandy and puffing on fat cigars they suddenly stood up and walked out of the club in single file towards the Mar-a-lago crater and disappeared down a hole never to be heard of again except for one poor soul who had recently had a hip replacement and couldn't keep up.

​

NB. It was later revealed that PIPER stood for: Pre-emptive Intervention for the Purpose of Eradicating the Rich. But that may have been made up.
