Aliens Among US!
THE ANCIENTS
Approximately 4 billions years ago, a galaxy spanning race or group of races known variously as the Ancients, the Founders, the Old Ones and Long-Gones having mastered time travel attempt to travel back to the beginning of time creating fractures on the time continuum, leading to the creation of alternate universes.
Two billion years in the past while experimenting with various methods to repair the time continuum and fuse the ever burgeoning amount of alternate universes, the Ancients discovered a method of creating Pocket Universes. Using sophisticated matter/energy conversion technologies and technologies based on quantum mechanics, the Ancients begin creating pocket universes that would serve as laboratories for highly dangerous experiments to be carried out without endangering the Primary Universe or the Alternate Universes. The earliest of the pocket universes are scale models of the Ancients home planet and its solar system, that of Sol 3.
That is correct, although it has never been proven and it has often been derided by many other humanoid races, there are speculations that the Old Ones were also a time traveling race and that they are actually evolved Earth Human beings. This theory may go a long way to explain why the Organians, the Q and other similarly evolved races have always taken a special interest in Earth, adopting strict non-interference policies with regard to it, and yet sometimes themselves meddling in Human affairs.
In their quest for immortality the Ancients created a pocket universe in which artificial energy beings could be created and studied. This is the Universe known as the Farmerian Oz Universe. They later abandoned this Universe but did not destroy it because it contained sentient life.
As their technique became more sophisticated they began creating pocket universes based on popular ancient works of fiction, among them were the Burroughs Universe, the Oz Universe etc.
It was around one billion years ago that the Ancients began their transformation from matter to pure intellect and energy beings leaving behind what will amount to minute traces of their vast and powerful civilization. Among the artifacts are the Guardian of Forever, The Stargates and the Obelisks and a multitude of alternate and pocket universes. Theories abound as to what the Ancient ones became from the Organians to the Q Continuum to the Elder Gods.
This would mean of course that the Ancients have not entirely disappeared from the cosmos but are still around. Like many of their human ancestors the Ancients did not always use their powers in the pursuit of good. Many egocentric and quite malign beings exist and insist on being worshipped as Gods, perhaps the worst of these are the Cthlulu entities. They may have never truly achieved the transformation to pure energy but remained stuck in a quasi form composed of elements of both. They caused great deal of mischief and tragedy throughout the cosmos until being imprisoned by the Elder Gods who had before been generally content to let the universe run its course, so long as events followed a general cosmological and evolutionary course that would lead to their ancestors development on the planet earth.
Although the Ancients created many life forms in their quest to understand life one in particular was groomed to take the ancients place in the universe. The Ancients called them the Proteges; they called themselves the Preservers. Their legacy was as mixed as was the Ancients.
One devastating incident prompted the Elder Gods to become involved and lead to a cosmological war the likes of will not be seen again. This was the destruction of Thyoph, the main base of the Preservers and the former main world of the Ancients.
Thyoph had been artificially created as a means of observing the development of the Earth's solar system; it was later used as a central meeting location and as the repository of the combined knowledge of the Ancients and the Preservers. The Preservers grew so close to achieving the evolution from matter to energy that the jealous Cthluloid deities, lead by Azathoth destroyed the planet, creating the asteroid belts that dot the earth's solar system.
While the destruction of Thyoph did not cause the extinction of the far flung Preservers or end their mission of preserving the works of the Ancients and achieving the evolution from matter to thought, it certainly did cripple it. The effect was so curtailing that they were unable to take a direct hand in many projects that resulted in many grave consequences.
