Some of these explorers abducted Earth women and seeded them with genetic material. These women unknowingly gave birth to children who were half earthling, half alien. Others of these alien explorers were shipwrecked or abandoned by their fellows on this desolate, violent world. As we (the offspring of the alien explorers) grew up, we came to recognize that we were different, of a band of beings apart from the rest of humanity. We who were stranded here on Earth abandoned all hope of returning to our home planets and assumed false identities, desperately trying to not draw attention to ourselves. Though widely separated by great geographical distances, we of alien heritage have been able to communicate with each other through electronic music, which is our common, universal language. Some of us made a daring escape from Earth by highjacking spaceships at the orbital space-station city. Others of us who were not so fortunate look to the skies, hoping and dreaming that one day we will be rescued.

Listener comments... -->please comment cystem said, "i was wondering if there would be music on this bus ride back home. thank you Hal for making the long journey more enjoyable! " DJ Get Yo Fat On said, "OK man, I must insist on riding with ya\'ll next time! Exploration is a bitch!" buzzsaw said, "\"Easily,\" she said. \"Tell me, do you think that all gods are happy and beautiful? Or would you dare suggest that any of the gods is not beautiful and happy?\" \"By Zeus, I wouldn\'t\" Socrates said. \"And you call those happy in possession of good and beautiful things?\" \"Certainly.\" \"But you\'ve agreed that it\'s because Love is in need of good and beautiful things that he desires those very things that he needs.\" \"Yes, I\'ve agreed to that,\" Socrates said. \"And what are those beautiful and good things? I would say, dear Diotima, that they are ANY mixes that have been assembled by Hal McGee, and if he desires them, it is because he has still yet to hear them all.\" I do agree, and would direct them to click play, but again, computers would confuse them all on far too many levels. Again, a smashing triumph, Hal!" Mental Anguish said, "Wonderful piece of space rock, & the story moves on, glad I escaped when I did though. I feel & hear the crys of my space brethren & contemplate a way of somehow sneaking back in undetected if at all possible & making a rescue attempt."
