"on our world" vs "in our world"
It's a sci-fi/fantasy story.
Person A wants to write: "They were looking for something stored on our world..."
Person B thinks it should be : "They were looking for something stored in our world..."
"They" in this context is a group of space-faring aliens.
Person A thinks you can say "on our world" similar to how you can say "on our roof" or "on our boat".
Person B thinks it has to be "in our world", because you wouldn't say 'something stored in France'.
Who's right?

Woops, typo in that 2nd last line.
