My personal window showed me Earth today. It's still far from the beautiful blue orb it was before the humankind destroyed it, but it's still our home, no matter what.

[Sept20] Tribble Month 1: Heavy Metal Voice
Mother Earth was crying. She had been crying for so long already.
FFM 2020 30: Never Tickle A Sleeping Beast
They should've had the slogan say, "Never tickle a sleeping dangerous beast of any kind."
FFM 2020 13: A Wish for An Explosion
"I've heard that if you blow it up, you'll get a wish."
FFM 2020 11: Heavy Metal Sanctuary

They say that there's no place like home. I say that they're right.
