'Many years ago, when the knowledge of impending doom reached an elite few there on Atlantis, a small ship, the only one of its kind, was sent into the Universe. Tears filled their eyes, as Atlantis began to sink beneath the mighty waters of the Earth.
Believing that all life as they knew it had vanished beneath the ocean, the few quickly lost sight of Earth as their craft approached the speed of light. Three and a half years later, they arrived in a galaxy that housed an enormous planet of great beauty with a lilting melody masterfully spun by its own orbit. ZARION, the cultural planet of music and fine art. The weary Earth travelers were graciously welcomed by its inhabitants, and the King soon approved their requests to dwell on Zarion unto time indefinite.
In time sons were born of Zarion women. We are those sons: Vance, Cristen, and Michaēl. We quickly gained the King's favor, as we grew writing and singing songs of praise to the King and his kingdom. Years later, we were commissioned by the King to go into the Universe and study and record the music of the spheres. After years of light passed, suddenly, beautifully spinning before us, was the home of our forefathers - the Earth. Emotion exploding within us surfaced immediately in the form of a song entitled \"Sons of the Universe.\"
Today we are living among you, experiencing life and love, thought to have vanished long ago. We refer to ourselves as Alien.
