I. Prologue

Visions of a future Earth

After all we’ve done to her

There is no room for us

Man our mother’s plunderer

The air is unbreathable

And we must go

Mother Nature weeps

And reaves her world of people

II. Alarm

“Free your minds

Open your eyes

The end of this world is nigh!”

“We must send a team

Away from here

To find a new home.”

“The time has come

To journey forth

And find a planet

Of another star!”

“The end is nigh

And we must fly

Away from dying eyes.”

III. Escape

Fired our ship

To the sky

A seed to carry

All of us

Beyond the sun

We speed as one

Toward the Astral Plain

The galaxy 2103

Our generation will never see

Toward the stars

To seed as one

Beyond the Astral Plain

IV. Farewell

“Epsilon One

You are alone

The only one.”

“We send you forth

Into the unknown

And what lies beyond!”

“Your life-led ship

By each generation

Till search complete.”

“As we expire

You will live on

Man will live on!”

V. Lost

Away from this Earth

Two thousand years

We traveled

Through space we have drifted

To find our celestial home

VI. Found

WELCOME, CREW

THIS IS EPSILON TWO

DEMI-HUMAN

PRO-BIONIC

ADAPTED

SURVIVORS

POST-HUMAN

REMAINS

OF A NEW CIVILIZATION

THROUGH BLENDING OF MAN

WITH MACHINE

A REFORMATION

OF REASON, CULTURE

AND PEACE WAS ACHIEVED

TO AVOID DEVASTATION

BEINGS SUCH AS THEE

OF A PARASITIC NATURE

ATTUNED TO DESOLATION

DIRECTED BY

A BASIC TENDENCY

TO BREED

AND ACHIEVE REDUPLICATION

FOR REASONS SUCH AS THESE

WE FORESEE

THAT YOU WILL JOIN US

MODIFICATION

AND YOU WILL ACCEDE

OR BE ELIMINATED

VII. Epilogue

Years of our travels

Have rendered anew

Species unfit for

The light we once knew
