[WP] You are one of the first humans to land on Mars. The journey was long and boring. But finally looking out over the red landscape is...wow. Your colleagues are just as amazed. "Hey, you can see Earth from here!" one says. You look up to where he points. And the Earth explodes.

[WP] You are thrown overboard. Limbs bound, you slip beneath the waves. Your lungs and throat burn with the salt of the sea, and you feel life slip away. But you wake up, now breathing fine and swimming with a glimmering fish tail. This is how sirens are born. And like all sirens, you want revenge.
