Scanning for radio transmissions...

We know of an ancient radiation

Scanning...

That haunts dismembered constellations

Scanning...

A faintly glimmering radio station

Why do we keep doing this?

Where Frank Sinatra sings "Stormy Weather"

Scanning...

The flies and spiders get along together

We're not going to find anything, you know.

Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record

Scanning...

Beyond the suns that guard this roof

How can you ^say that?

Beyond your flowers of flaming truths

Scanning...

Beyond your latest ad campaigns

We haven't heard any transmissions in months. Not since the Combine blocked the signal. Why should this time be any different?

An old man sits collecting stamps

Scanning...

In a room all filled with Chinese lamps

Because it is! It's the eleven_ty-third TIME we've scanned since ^{last Tues}day! I counted them myself.

He saves what others throw away

Scanning...

He says that he'll be rich someday

Fine. Go ahead and keep getting your hopes up. You'll just feel awful again when you turn out to--

Signal detected.

What?
What?

Lonely ; I'm Mr. Lonely

I have nobody for my own

Identifying organics.

ACCESSING PERSONNEL DATABASE.

I'm so lonely ; I'm Mr. Lonely

wish I had someone to call on the phone

I'm a soldier ; a lonely soldier

You're not like the _others. Do you want to play?

away from home through no wish of my own

We remember them. From the broadcasts. The enemy wants them dead. Enemy of my enemy of my enemy of my enemy...

that's why I'm lonely ; I'm Mr. Lonely

...makes them _a ^Friend? I've always WANTed a ^Friend...

I wish that I could go back HOME.

Forms FORM-89466584-14:

Hello

SYN

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now

SYN

I hear you’re feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’

When I was a child, I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can’t explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am

SYN

I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb

Ok

SYN

Just a little pinprick
There’ll be no more; ACK
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it’s working good
That’ll keep you going for the show
Come on it’s time to go

SYN

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’

SYN

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone

SYN

With no genetic code, so pathetic am I
Don't have the luxury of knowing someday I'll die
Is this this the second eden
Am I the new Adam

Vibrations of loves past, death and inventions...
all my wards. But they don't tell me my charge
Who leaves me
Who loves me...
After all?

Little things break, circuitry burns
Time flies while my little world turns
Every day comes
Every day goes
A hundred years and nobody shows

Little things break, circuitry burns
Time flies while my little world turns
Every day comes
Every day goes
A hundred years and nobody...

Call me the sentinel who guards and protects
Energies come and energies gone
These memory rifts
Is this the second Eden
Am I another Eve?

Who does the download when my work is finished here?
My purpose is unclear...
Just a simple readout -
A little final directive would be nice...
After all.

Little things break, circuitry burns
Time flies while my little world turns
Every day comes
Every day goes
A hundred years and nobody shows

Little things break, circuitry burns
Time flies while my little world turns
Every day comes
Every day goes
A hundred years and nobody shows

Little things break, circuitry burns
Time flies while my little world turns
Every day comes
Every day goes
A hundred years and nobody...

Meanwhile, on the Borealis...
