The ships went into a parking orbit around the moon. They sent down shuttles. They started mining the moon.
Setsuna just watched as the aliens dug up valuable minerals, and took them away. They completely ignored Earth. It was of no value to them.
Meanwhile on Earth people were still rioting. They were screaming the aliens were going to come and get them. People looted, raped, killed.
Death rates soared into the hundreds of thousands. Nuclear weapons were launched. Civilization was reduced to the Stone Ages.
And the aliens just looked at Earth and shook their heads.
One alien said, "I told you we'd be better of mining this moon than going to that crazy house."
Another alien said, "Looks like you were right. Those fools just blew up their own planet. They'll be lucky if they're not all sterile from all that radiation."
A third alien said, "Wonder why they blew themselves up now?"
A fourth alien said, "Dunno. Couldn't have had anything to do with us. Since we didn't go down there."
Finally it was time, the moon had been all mined out, it's goods forever taken. The aliens packed up and left, leaving a mined moon, and a dying world behind them. The first they had mined themselves, the second they had done nothing to cause it happening.
Humanity had done that job on it's own and done it well ensuring their extinction.
