The Keepers are an old race, older than the concept of time, the oldest in fact, evolved shortly
after the Big Bang spread particles through infinite space to create the stars and the systems that
orbit around them...

...For eons they travelled the blank infant void looking for the first signs of life, a spark to say they weren't alone,
a faint candle to attest that the unique inestimable burst of energy wasn't a mere flatulent instance of trapped
chaotic subatomic particles.

But in all that time of wayfaring the black barren endlessness, the Keepers found nothing... nothing but forsaken
orbs jostling for warmth around fiery infernos of plasma and a few noble gases drifting to towards nowhere.

Arriving at the realisation they were simply the monarchs of nihility, they plotted onwards to find an affinity. Maybe
they missed something, maybe they were looking in the wrong place? It would be only when the finest minds of
those who were the first and only to be spewed from the violent beginnings of reality, did they understand why
they weren't alone.

The clue was the high whining sound coming from a machine in Tandy Beau's laboratory, something the old
scientist assured the figure standing behind him wasn't a noise from their universe. It was an artificially created
radio wave coming from somewhere close, a sterile planet mostly made up of water...

Nice! I guess it's your story now, lol.

GULP!
