time to enter the Earth plane to reclaim this planet in the name of the Forces
of Light and to open her doors to the cosmic community in which she resides.
We congratulate and salute those of you throughout the universes who have
volunteered for this assignment. Go with our blessing. And remember, read

Mission Control will not be responsible for any members of this mission who
do not thoroughly acquaint themselves with the material contained in this
special edition.
