The Plan
Synopsis/Details:
Two aliens, speaking one word at a time, discuss what to do with the surviving population of the soon-to-be-conquered Earth. One of them suggests making them slaves, and the other - sensing his friend's strong desire - grants that request. The second alien is put in charge of the weapons-heavy ship and departs for Earth, while the first smiles at the world's image on a view screen.
