*** Maybe they yearn for human-like emotions. Since they departure from Alpha they mutated in another race, with some form of a hive mind. When they create the humans, they make us like they were in Alpha. So they feel some emotions, buy they are incomplete.

** Yeah, in the "Age of Shadows", a Forever mentions that they "We never heeded the warning/Buried deep within us all." It's the same thing as humanity trying to warn themselves about the dark future in "E=MC2". They might have managed to send the message back, but no one took it seriously.

**In 2084, it seems like another soul from humankind at large leaves for Mars. I presume that ALL of their souls end up this way; Ayreon's does as well in Carried By The Wind. Since the Colonist ends up as the Migrator... "Our" likely includes the souls of every other human ever, since every soul we've seen has headed for Mars, to him.

***I assume that what he sees is the ''Forevers'' losing their emotions and becoming cold machines; Humans were made from the Forevers, and so they probably did this thinking that they would actually end up this way.

** [[spoiler: The Dream Sequencer does not create dreams out of nowhere: rather, it allows the "dreamer" to see things through the eyes of others. Hence, Me and others certainly did exist, and the Forever used the Sequencer to observe them.]]

***I always assumed that it was some kind of a mask over his real voice, hence why it goes totally emotionless when the charade goes away in Forever of the Stars
