Writing Prompt #7--The Lost Race

Aliens discover Earth and collect a few humans to study. When they do, they’re horrified to learn that we’re descendants of an ancient super race who rampaged across the galaxy. Psychic in nature, one of these Old Humans could wipe out a city with a thought. A virus sapped them of their powers, resulting in genocidal retribution from the surviving alien races. The survivors disappeared . . . apparently to Earth. Now, looking over billions of humans, this particular race of amoral/curious aliens see themselves with two choices. One, they could erase humanity (lest they evolve again into psychic gods). Or, they could unlock humanity’s lost power—in order to better study (and replicate)—it.
