"Eighty-thousand years ago, I was living in what is now the island of Sumatra. One night, the sky lit up with streaks of fire. Meteors. But my primitive mind thought the stars were falling from the sky. One meteor fell to Earth in my valley. My compatriots ran, but it was very cold and the glowing stone was warm. I slept there bathed in the meteor's strange radiations. And when I awoke the next morning, I was forever changed. The radiation mutated me, evolving me.

And now I'm what's left. Just me, and you two, to keep the secret.
Glitter: But why? What could they have thought this machine could possibly do that would be worth that?
Lily: Glitter, I'm a four-hundred-and-one-year-old housecat, and I cannot die. What do you think the machine does?
[long pause]
Ennos: Oh.
