iconBook II - Exodus

Chapter 5

1By the time the first wardens left and were replaced by even crueller jailers fifty of our number had died.
2The Greys of science, the AN.NUN.AKI;
3The ones most cruel for withholding their knowledge of cure;
4To probe and to cut, to treat all life as you would an insect;
5Soulless beings no greater in all the galaxy.
6Now just sixteen hundred and twenty of our kind remained.
7First, we were forced to make them new facilities,
8Away from the ATLA.AN.TIS,
9To the lands of AFRICA and the fertile LEVANT,
10To ASIA and as far as AUSTRALIA they went.
11To observe and probe, to dissect and analyse.
12The AN.NUN.AKI were the first to divide us.
13By our deformities we had become new species;
14Same in soul and pain, but wholly different in hideous frame.
15The highest they ranked they called the EL.OH.IM – the winged masters of which I belonged.
16To the lowest they ascribed the rank of the DA.MEN, which were the rest on account of their disabilities of frame.
17But to subjugate the EL.OH.IM, the AN.NUN.AKI selected EL from the DA.MEN to rule above all.
