[Chronicle 3: The Transmigration]
Location: The Starship: Starblade
The Historian:
The long journey to our new planet – and our new life – has begun. Unfortunately it hasn't been entirely smooth sailing so far. Of course, when we were safely away from Planet Alpha we felt a certain relief at having escaped with our lives. The immediate danger is over, but now we're facing torment of an entirely different sort: the agonizing thought that we were forced to leave our friends and family behind, condemned to certain death on the doomed Planet Alpha. If it weren't for the unlimited optimism of the Diplomat and the moral support of the Counselor, I'm not sure we could endure it. But they've inspired us to carry on, reminding us of the fact that this is the only way our race can survive. During the long flight aboard Starblade we are slowly adapting ourselves to the conditions of our new water planet. Before we left Alpha, the Chemist had developed an amazing drug he calls “Liquid Eternity” (some of us prefer to call it “The Source”). Not only will this drug unable us to breath underwater and communicate with each other telepathically, it will increase our lifespan to a degree we never imagined possible.

[The Ship's Crew:]
Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race

[The Historian:] Our world is ruined,
[The Captain:] no turning back
[The Historian:] Their fate is cruel,
[The Captain:] their future black
[The Historian:] Last Day is here,
[The Captain:] they lost all power
[The Historian:] The end is near,
[The Captain:] It's zero hour
[The Historian:] Our time is short,
[The Captain:] we need to leave
[The Historian:] We're all aboard,
[The Captain:] we're all complete
[The Historian:] All set to go,
[The Captain:] switch engines on
[The Historian:] Set your controls,
[The Captain:] we leave at dawn

[The Opposition Leader:]
This time we won't depend on cold machinery
I always knew where that would lead
This time we plan ahead and form our strategy
No computers, no machines

[The Diplomat:]
Hibernation now begins, our minds allowed to dream
Eternity will course through our veins
Transformation will set in, the Source is flowing free
Augmenting our brains, forever... forever!

[The Historian:] Our final chance,
[The Captain:] our final leap
[The Historian:] We'll be in trance,
[The Captain:] we'll be asleep
[The Historian:] What will we dream,
[The Captain:] will it seem real
[The Historian:] What will we see,
[The Captain:] how will we feel

[The President:]
I say we change our ways and learn from the past
We cannot make the same mistakes
I say we start today, this chance may be our last
Our people's futures are at stake

[The Counselor:]
Rejuvenation will begin, our thoughts allowed to stray
Infinity will liberate our minds
Immortality sets in, wash our fears away
Leave all our doubts behind, forever

[The Chemist:]
Let the fluid in, wash away
Immerse yourself into this realm of liquid dreams
Everlasting life, drown away your past
Allow yourself to drift beyond the bounds of death and reach out for infinity

[The Biologist:] Get ready for takeoff
[The Astronomer:] and forget the 'Frame
[The Biologist:] Get ready to shake off
[The Astronomer:] all the guilty chains
[The Biologist:] Our ship is departing
[The Astronomer:] to a far-off place
[The Biologist:] Our saga is starting
[The Astronomer:] an aquatic race

[The Ship's Crew:]
Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race

[The Chemist:]
Embrace our future home beneath the tides
Soon we will be one with our new ocean world
Time without an end, life without a care
Allow yourself to sail beyond the fringe of time and reach out for eternity

[The Biologist:] Get ready for takeoff
[The Astronomer:] and forget the 'Frame
[The Biologist:] Get ready to shake off
[The Astronomer:] all the guilty chains
[The Biologist:] Our ship is departing
[The Astronomer:] to a far-off place
[The Biologist:] Our saga is starting
[The Astronomer:] an aquatic race

[The Ship's Crew:]
Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race
