- The Control Voice: We have always been fascinated with the prospect of renewal. Built into the very fabric of our self-conscious is the desire for resurrection, a rebirth of body and soul... a second chance.
After humanity has been wiped out by biological warfare, two androids clone a human, but their rulers find out and try to stop humanity from returning.
- The Control Voice: We live. We die. We live again. If we accept the tenuous fragility of our planet and ourselves perhaps we can avoid the necessity of rebirth in the distant future. Perhaps we can begin the second dawning of humankind... today.
