First, there was darkness.

:00:19

Then came the Strangers.

:00:21

They were a race
as old as time itself.

:00:25

They had mastered
the ultimate technology--

:00:28

the ability to alter
physical reality by will alone.

:00:33

They called this ability
"Tuning."

:00:36

But they were dying.

:00:38

Their civilization was
in decline,

:00:41

and so they abandoned
their world,

:00:44

seeking a cure
for their own mortality.

:00:48

Their endless journey brought
them to a small, blue world...

:00:51

in the farthest corner
of the galaxy.

:00:54

Our world.

:00:57

Here, they thought
they had finally found...

:00:58

what they had been
searching for.

:01:11

My name is
Dr. Daniel Poe Schreber.

:01:14

I am just a man.

:01:16

I help the Strangers
conduct their experiments.

:01:20

I have betrayed my own kind.
