Over 5 five billion years ago, millions of vessels were launched from an alien cosmos to sow the genesis of life throughout selected galaxies in this universe. Each ship contained two artificial creatures named The Keepers. These entities, in combination with their ships, were technologically integrated for the sole purpose of altering planetary physics and stimulating the growth of divergent life. After 500 million years in space, one of the vessels penetrated the surface of a lifeless piece of space debris we now call earth. Over immense spans of time, The Keepers periodically awaken from a quiescent suspension to enact their mission. Through countless experiments, and over billions of years, they successfully sired all of earth's organic and biological manifestations. During the last awakening, they fulfill their final experiment and genetically seeded for the creation of a superior intellectual life form.
Now, The Keepers awake from a two million year dormancy and find their ship damaged and dislocated deep beneath the surface of the planet's crust. Undaunted, they maintain their edict and inspect their new biological crop. The two legged beings they discover, fall considerably short of their creator's forecasted model. The Keeper's mandate is clear, time and history must now cease for this experiment.
