[WP] "Father, father! Look I finally found my blue marble. It was hidden away behind the fire ball all along!" A child's voice echoed through the sky, for the whole world to hear. Minutes later, NASA reports a giant hand like structure is headed in the direction of Earth.

[WP] Humans are alien explorers from a distant planet who arrived on Earth millions of years ago and got stuck here. They all died and were long forgotten after developing a disease called 'mortality', which was even passed on to their kids, except one man, who now goes by the name Mark Zuckerberg.
