Future Faces (3)

The artistry of a collective of advanced sentient beings in a very distant future. The universe as we know it now lies barren, devoid of the prosperous vivid life that once flowed through its veins. Every sentient species has driven themselves, as well as their home planets, to total extinction. The FUTURE FACES CORPORATION is comprised of a species of dimension-shifting beings on the evolutionary brink of godhood who travel through space and reality in search of the fundamental building blocks of Life. The time has come for them to recycle this dead universe and create a new one, continuing the infinite cycle of physical existence. Deep below the charred, dusty shell of the planet once known by names such as Gaia, Earth, and Mother lies a vault that has laid dormant and undisturbed for countless millennia. This vault is the next stop on the FUTURE FACES CORPORATION's quest for knowledge throughout the universe. Within this vault they find a nearly complete documentation of the entire history of the species that last inhabited this planet: Humans. The final chamber of this grand, expansive vault contains a monolithic ancient device that seems to flicker to life as the beings approach. The device contains the last dim glow of life in the universe, life that was believed to be completely extinct, life that changed these godlike beings forever. The beings channeled power into this dying device and restored it to a fully operational state. It called to them, appealed to their deepest desires, captivated them. They heard sounds unlike anything they had ever heard or even imagined to be possible. The life within this device was artificial, created by the Humans to store and document their greatest invention. Music. These beings no longer sought to travel the remainder of the universe, as they had found what they were searching for. This ancient music contained the soul of an entire species, a soul present nowhere else in the expanse of reality. For generations they devoted their lives to the pursuit of this soul and with it they will forge their new reality. They studied the music and, through it, they began creating their own music as the foundation for a new tomorrow. Their collective consciousness begins to reassemble the universe on this planet, the same planet on which the universe's last life cycle began. Through the music, they begin to embody the souls and passions of the artists that created their beautiful discovery. They become something new entirely, and their collective consciousness begins to divide into individual creative minds, similar to that of the humans that inhabited the planet now known as Paradise, a human term used to describe the glorious end to a long journey.
