The Signal

At 3:00 a.m. Saturday morning of the 1976 Easter weekend, Jason Maze was dreaming about a spectacular city. The city was perfect like something from a fairy tail. Surprisingly, the city was deserted. Jason saw a stranger approaching from the distance. The stranger shrouded his face with a black garment. The stranger came closer to reveal his true identity. Just as he was about to uncover his face, Jason and Xenia Maze were awakened by an alien signal emanating from the watches Tirrus and Elaga gave them during the past Columbus Day weekend. Jason and Xenia immediately assumed the Caudatans had returned. Jason sprang to his watch to contact Tirrus. Jason quickly realized something different about the signal. Both he and Xenia were puzzled by the signal, because it was not Chiropteran. When a holographic image of an alien solar system appeared like something from a Disney World ride, Jason voiced his curiosity.

“Something tells me we may have visitors on the way.”

“Do you know who’s sending this?” Xenia asked.

“I have no idea. This is not something I dreamed.”

“Do you think we and the kids are safe?”

“I think so. This solar system looks similar to ours.”

“But what system is this and who’s sending the message?”

“We can only watch. Whoever’s sending this has something important to show us.”

The holographic images then centered on a planet much like Earth. A magnificent city came into view.

“The inhabitants are Elysian. I think we’re finally going to learn the connection between Elysium and Earth.” Jason said as a commentator appeared.
