From Introduction:
This game is about a non-human but all-too-human time traveller, his allies and friends, his enemies and his dying people. It is about that certain special spark which shines in the eye of a Trojan horseman, a Berliner silversmith and an engineer on Mars Base 1. That certain indefinable quality of 'humanness'.
In this game, you play out the myths and legends of humankind from the explosive birth of the universe to its chill passing. The victory of peace over war, progress over stagnation and hope over despair occurs in a thousand different moments in a thousand different places, on Earth or in the cosmos, with aliens or humans.
The story of this strange alien is the story of humanity.
