Bonus Track 4

Never Gonna Give You Up

                         “I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
                         Gotta make you understand
                                    ---
                         Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
                         Never gonna run around and desert you
                         Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye”
                                         - Rick Astley

After 11,243 years of exploring the vast reaches of the universe and piecing together an answer to The Great Silence, I echo back to Earth.

I'm ready to come home!

Time be my friend... let me start again.

I send my team of robo-drones to the medical storage facility I built 5,000 feet under the ice and snow and dirt of Earth's south pole.

I crack open the freezers, which I've cooled to as close to absolute zero as I can. I pull out the genetic material I pulled from Momma Ruru, Bon-E, Est'R, my parents, my sister and all my Q.U.E.E.N.s.

I fly these back to Wondaland, where I've spent the last 137 years constructing and perfecting a human cloning machine.

As I pull these vials containing the genetic information of my favorite humans out of the coolers, I dust off the ice crystals that have formed on them, ready to try again.

If first you don't succeed,

Dust it off and try again, try again.

I can dust it off and try again.

Try again.
