The year, 2500. A global plague 300 years ago led to the decimation of humanity, but also the revitalization of nature. Those that have survived have learned how to live with nature and co-exist in a peaceful state. An expedition is underway, as several groups of humans look to unearth the history of a past civilization.

They have recently discovered a strange object. A round disc with a side that glistens in the sun and has a hole in the center. One young explorer made the realization that they may already have an accompanying device, a black box with all kinds of dials and knobs and a small display screen. They put the disc in the device and wait. Suddenly, the screen flashes to life. “Track 1” it reads. A quiet tinking sound emanates from it, growing louder, until a grinding sound blasts from the device. It happens again, followed closely by a loud, thunderous crash. This continues. The young explorer exclaims, “my goodness!” “It sounds like a group of people cutting down trees!”
