Weekly Serial Book 2 Chapter 4: A Wrong Uncovered

What I’d written would probably make them suspicious anyway, but all of their haggling and discussion over my summary would buy me plenty of time. Plenty of time to . . .
I reached into my pocket and pulled out the silver coin I had found on Earth. It was partially melted but I could still read the writing inscribed on its surface: E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Yes, I had found Earth and soon I would return to it to make it a great and peaceful world once again.
