"Naked in cold darkness, the First Millennium Man saw the sun rise
    upon his world. So too, Man rose in awe of its mystery. He stood with  
    raised head and open arms, to embrace its light. And he walked upon his
    world to explore its magic. The Third
    Millennium Man discovered the metaphysics of the timeless stars  and
    expanded his realm to the edge of twilight. Now, in the Sixth Millennium,
    night fall pervades the mind of Man and he is, once more, left in
    darkness. Yet he is aware of something in the pitch black. Unseen, it stirs
    deep within his soul; something he knows, will never again, let him see
    the light of day."
