There were two.

Last year there was a sort of collective dream. In the dream there was the ruins of a facility, underwater. When we awoke in Zerzura we were housed in a scientific facility, many of us drew the same conclusion at the time – that it was the same one.

There was a spear in the dream, with birds perched on it, and there a spear in Zerzura, with birds perched on it. The scientists in Zerzura brought us to that world because of the spear. Any time one of their scientists tried to touch it, it would tear them apart so they outsourced and kidnapped us.


[ which begs the question: can you be kidnapped from a kidnapping? ]

They said Earth was dying so they collected us to abandon Earth and its billions of inhabitants and save Zerzura at its expense. They neglected to consider we are a stubborn people. Really, our inability to listen to authority is the only thing we all agree on.

Sacrificing ourselves with the spear saved both worlds.
