Mully:  Skulder, our local galaxy's got a problem.  If our solar system formed out of the sun, which fuses hydrogen into helium, where did all the carbon and heavy elements come from to make the planets--and us?

Skulder:  You're right, Mully.  Our sun's too young to make carbon, let alone iron.  Our earth must have formed from the dust of an ancient alien civilization.

Mully:  I don't know.  There must be an answer less . . . spooky.

Skulder:  Trust no one, especially scientists.  The truth is out there.
