Known only as 'The Elders'....Kale, Orn and Vex had spent billions of years traveling the cosmos, maybe even longer. They had stopped recording their own history many, many eons hence.

They didn't eat or sleep, they didn't laugh or cry, they felt absolutely no emotion. They had but one need, one longing, one desire. The desire for knowledge. That desire had long since been satisfied.

They had no recollection of there ever being more than the three of them. They had, simply, always BEEN and they knew that they would always BE. There was nothing they did not know. There was nothing they hadn't experienced. There was nothing left to learn. They were...........bored.

They decided to settle for awhile on a gray/green planet called Selusha. Growing ever more bored with their existence they thought to entertain themselves by creating a new race. This time would be different though. This time the goal was to create a race completely devoid of all emotion, save one, hostility. After hundreds of thousands of years of forced evolution The Elders set loose their creation upon the cosmos. The goal was a simple one, wipe out every single being of every single race that had nothing in the way of knowledge to offer The Elders.

Before any race was eradicated they were thoroughly studied by The Elders. Not one single race had any knowledge to offer them. After five million years of annihilation and genocide The Elders were becoming bored again. Many thousands of races had fallen under the might of the Selushans. Trillions had perished.

The Elders did learn something from this. A single question that was prevalent amongst all races they had encountered. They soon realized that the answer to the question..."What is the meaning of life?"....evaded them. The only question left that The Elders had no answer for.
