Stardate

Stardate 3040
The seasons continue to pass. Spring became summer.
Fall dimmed into the winter's cold light

Society continued to erode as the people began to collapse
under the weight of economic despair

10 years had elapsed
since there had even been a blip of information
on the whereabouts of the mythical duo

Occasionally a story would be heard
a rumor from an unreliable source in a bar, or some place like that

Inevitably, it would be discounted as drunken hearsay
much like Area 51 or the Loch Ness Monster
until they were eventually proven to be true, of course

One by one the banks began to collapse again.
Politicians were running out of flocks to fleece.
The middle class had faded into irrelevance.
Anarchy had started to peek its head out

Then, when all seemed to be lost
A small glimmer of light appeared in the distance.
Could it be, back from the great beyond

It's the return of Deltron Zero and Automator
