Despite immense cost and backstrokes the conquest of space couldn't be stopped.
In 2024 the construction of the international moonstation Galieo Galilei began.
April 2027: Today

Ry!

Yes, Aaron. What's up?
I receive the latest geological data from the Juri Gagarin (x).

According to this, there're giant caves in Kopernikus.

(x) unmanned satellite in moonorbit, named after the first man in space, Juri Gagarin (1934 - 1968).
Kopernikus = mooncrater

Hm,... strange. That's something for our egg-heads. Let them report here!

Ylina Wassilijew and Martin Friedrich report to the head office!

Shortly, at the map-tableÖ
That's right. it's weird finding cavern in a craterring
That's why you're send to take a look at it. As long as the laboratories are not finished, you can't do much here anyway.

The caves are supposed to be here. So, quite close. Easy to reach with a car.
But don't do anything stupid. Collect a few stones, take some pictures and that's it.
Later teams must take an in-depth look, when Galileo is fully functional.
- And call, when you're there!

Sure!

What do you think about it as a geologist?
Well, in general I'd say, they're of natural originÖ

Öbut because there's located in the craterring, I'm not quite sure.

page 3

Maybe they're only cavitation that were created when the meteor hit the ground.

Let it take us by surprise.

Galileo, this is Moonbug two. We're reaching our destination - over!

Moonbug two, this is Galileo - roger. Everything is ready for receiving data - over!
Roger and over!

SuddenlyÖ
!!

AAAH!

Seite 4

Quicksand!
hold tight!

Mayday! Galileo!
Help!

We got into quicksand!
No!

AHH!

Stand-by squad get ready immediately for a rescue mission!

Seite 5

Within a few minutes the rescue team is on their way.

Is there is are chance to find them alive?
We must not lose hope..

Ylina!
We are alive!

Yes, it's a miracle. We had more than luck.
Where are we?

Seite 6

I don't knowÖ Looks like one of the cavern we where looking for.
Yes, possible. Get out of here quick, before the entire cave is collapsing.

We have to reach the surface.
Easier said than done. If we get lost or if there's no exit at all, we had it.

There it's going on.
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but our oxygen is lasting only for less than two hours.

Watch out! It's getting narrow here.

OOH!

Seite 7

This can't be true!

Galileo, this is rescue team. We've reached the accident site - over!
Rescue team, this is Galileo. Report your status constantly - over!
Roger and over!

Be cautious now, otherwise we're also stuck in the quicksand.

A short time laterÖ
We try to retrieve the car with the crane now.
I can locate the car exactly on the scanner, but no sign from the both.

Seite 8

Now, lower the magnet with caution!
We've contact!
Slowly!

The scanner is still reporting no life-signs.
Is this definitive?
Yes, interference are excluded.
Shall I rope down anyway?

No, I don't want to risk another lifeÖ Come back.

But ifÖ

If Martin and Ylina sank in the quicksand and the scanner can't locate them, they're dead.
We're heading back.

Aaron, establish a connection with earth. I must make a report.
Aye!

Seite 9
Can you imagen the reach of this discovery? It'll change the world.
The history of earth must be written again! Maybe we originate from extraterristal life!

Martin, look those plates. They're something like a chronic.
Phantastic!

It's going upstairs here.
This is our last chance. The oxygen is lasting only for one hour.

AAH!

Ylina!! Oh, my god!

Seite 10

UUHÖ

They've thrown us in a chamber. What do they want from us?
I don't know.

We're dead anyway. Either the creatures kill us or we suffocate. Our oxygen is nearly exhaust.

?!

The floor is opening!
We'll drop into that thing!

No!

Seite 11

Ylina Wassilijew and Martin Friedrich ceased to exist as individual beings and have become part of HIM.
HE, who is everything. A collective being, cared by drones, watching over the experiment Homo Sapiens for millions of years.
Mankind still don't anticipate their terrible origin. But what will happen when creator and created are standing in front of each other face-to-face?
It's only a matter of time until this secret is being lifted. Let's hope that it remains a secret for a long time.
