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 travelled
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 CIVILISATION
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
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
