On an early morning in July 2022, an unidentified flying object in the shape of a sphere emerges above the horizon just off the coast of an island in the Pacific. The silhouette of this gargantuan sphere hovers in the distance, sparkling despite the daylight, casting down a sense of uneasiness upon the citizens staring at it from ashore. A few days later, a legion of extraterrestrial robotic beings are seen descending on shore. Initially, this evoked panic amongst the citizens that were drenched in fear, but over time, it became apparent that these robotic beings meant no harm. They flooded the streets and began repeating a sound that could only be made out as "Para.. Para…?".

Linguistics experts and extraterrestrial researchers have been gathered from all over the world to investigate and figure out their true intentions. Many efforts have been made to try to communicate with them, but none succeeded. That's until someon snuck into the research facilities, bravely approaching one of the robotic beings, and when encountered with the usual "Para… Para?", responded with, "Para…land!". This triggered a kill switch mechanism, and they simultaneously send out a beacon deep into space. The beacon continued for a few moments, and all of a sudden, a deafening voice penetrated through the whole world's ears with the words: "Gratissimum ad PARALAND". When the echoes of those words came to an end, the world stood still for a split second, and the world as we know it, was never the same again…
