And twenty-five years from now get a rude surprise along the lines of "The Wrath of Khan"? Nah...keep them both down here and let them finish out their lives in jail where they belong and we can keep our eyes on their doings.
Yeah, it's obscure. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's a hilarious sci-fi spoof. The two main characters, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect, end up on a spaceship that carried a couple million frozen residents of a planet, doomed due to overpopulation. People on that planet had intended to evacuate their planet in three phases, workers, middle class, and leaders. They started with middle class people because they deemed them less essential. Middle class people, such as telephone sanitizers. In the end, the other two groups never left their planet because it wasn't overpopulated any more. There is a punchline to that story that I won't reveal in case you want to read it.
Well I do now! That was one of the things in the rabbit hole, but it didn't get specific enough for the telephone sanitizer ref. THAT caught my eye because I spent my career at a telecom (we didn't have sanitizers).
Why limit it to two? Pack the ship with MAGAs and set up their own little fiefdom.

You have to train the MAGAs as telephone sanitizers first (props if you get the nerdy reference!)
I cry "uncle". Googling "Sci fi evolution of bacteria on telephone" took me down a rabbit hole. What's the reference?
