their work, to labor and slave for them, to manufacture their splendored dreams. The
Luminoids need slaves, and they have chosen the planet off which their slaves will be abducted. Not too many at first, a neighborhood-full, perhaps. A neighborhood like mine or yours. Those who will be abducted sleep in dreamy ignorance, unaware that they are about to become the subjects of a grotesque and sophisticated experiment... a feasibility study.
356:"Do not enter upon or cross this area. Do not touch or remove possibly radioactive dirt or rocks. If you have any knowledge concerning this disappearance, please contact your nearest police department." It could have happened to any neighborhood.

A six-block suburban area –people and all– is teleported to
Luminos. The Luminoids will study the feasibility of enslaving humans because Luminoids suffer from a genetic disease which condemns them to become as immobile as rocks as they age.
341:
Eventually, a suburbanite is introduced to the hideous
Luminoid rulers, who reveal their plans and that the punishment for disobedience is to be touched by a Luminoid and thereby contract their terrible disease.
346:
they willfully contract the disease from each other, thus choosing death over slavery, and rendering the
Luminoids' experiment inconclusive. The abduction of the human race is proven infeasible, and abandoned.
