They decide to combine together to continue their lives (to be reborn) Andy lost its body, so it connect with a broken toy cars and some mechanical part to survive. Others also do the same things, they cooperate with each other and gradually change their parts to adapt to the surrounding environment.

The story of Steven en Elex (Marieke)

A magic can falls out of the sky… Lightening!

Little Steven, 7 years old, is walking in the mountains and discovers a pile of rubbish. When he looks closer he sees they are all body parts. He runs home. The next day he slowly approaches the pile out of curiosity. Every day he goes peeking to the pile and sees it growing. One day he goes closer and sees all the parts struggling and aimlessly moving around.
When he puts parts together, funny creatures arise. He has so much fun in doing this; he goes back every day to see if there are new parts to be put together.

He notices that there are only new creatures when there has been a thunderstorm the day before. Year after year he goes back to that spot when there had been a thunderstorm and puts together the creatures.
When months have past and there hasn’t been any lightening, Steven really gets frustrated. He tries to create his own thunder with all possible machines and electronics. This doesn’t work out.

In the meanwhile the creatures are making their own society and two groups are forming. There are creatures, called Elex, who are aiming to honor the holy can and are planning on getting back to planet Ex. When the holy can is in space again it will be able to make the creatures continuously. But there are also creatures which don’t care, the Eli, and these are planning to take over the world.
What the Elex need to do to get the holy can back into the universe is spread all over the world and by doing so create an electric field around the earth. This will split the atmosphere and lead a pathway for the holy can into space.


The story of Nanomia (Eddy)

Long long time before the homosapians, even before the dinosaurs, just after “the Big Bang” a chemical reaction created an almost invisible small construction of atoms, consisting of highly strong coal-fibbers, organic tomato DNA & logicanicy.

Over time, when the world evolved, this combination of atoms survived & evolved. In fact the size didn’t grew. Many of the atoms combination spread over the world.

One day, electricity, in form of a lightning, gave the first impulse for this ”cells” to cluster together. In fact this didn’t last for long. After every additional lightning the cluster became more and more complex.

Years & years, millions of them, passed by and the invention of permanent electricity pushed the cluster to evolve themselves to an outstanding long lasting creature who can break apart cluster back together.

Over and over was this procedure used to hide themself from the world of the way we know it.

But well the change of permanent electricity gave these creatures to evolve to be independent form electricity at all.

Out of the sudden, they lost the skill to totally break apart, now part of their can be seen.


Christopher Jam (Elien)

Christopher Jam as a motor boat. In his spare time he likes to make little trips with his boat. One day he discovers a tiny island. He decides to anchor his boat to take a look at the island. Here he finds all kinds of robot-like animals, new species.
Christopher Jam really likes the animals so he loads them all on his boat and takes them home. He is aware that if people find out that he has these rare species at home, they will confiscate the animals. But Christopher wants to keep them for himself. Therefore he hides the creatures in his closet.
But the animals hate being in the closet, so one day they decide to break loose.
Christopher Jam notices them just before they were able to walk outside. He decides to disconnect the animals’ body parts and he kept them separately so that they couldn’t re-connect themselves and they couldn’t escape again.
Years go by until Christopher Jam dies. People find the body parts in his closet, but they don’t know how to connect them. Will you help these creatures to live again?

Amadeus Dark (Elien)

Amadeus Dark is a very bright man. He is an inventor and has invented some amazing things throughout the years. Amadeuses work in progress is top secret; as soon as he made some notes or did some research, he would burn the evidence so that nobody would know what he was working on. Amadeus Dark almost finished his new invention when he dies.
People find his invention, but can’t make any sense of it. What was the purpose of mister Dark’s work.

Prosthesis factory (Elien)

In the prosthesis factory is working a robot, Festool DB110. Festool is a very smart sophisticated robot, programmed replace people doing routine jobs. One day Festool is sick of the routine work and he finds a way to escape: He takes the different prosthesis’s and attaches them to himself. This makes it possible for him to leave the factory into the open world. Festool found a nice place to live and create a family. After a few generations the robots have involved more and more.


Ancient Civilization (Timo)

A very long time ago, even before the existence of the dinosaurs, there was a race of extremely intelligent creatures. They were so smart that they could make a machine to look into the future. With this they saw their own future: total annihilation of their own people. In the hope to save their culture, technology and knowledge they created a vast amount of autonomous machines. All these machines symbolized one of the cultural, technological or knowledge aspects of the race. When the day came which would wipe out the race, they spread all the machines over the whole world in separate parts, improving the chance that a large number of parts would survive. For millions of years these robots have been inactive in the ground, even underneath the first dinosaur fossils. A few years ago the first part was dug up. A lot of scientist researched the part and came to the conclusion there should be more hidden in our world. Only by finding, collecting and putting all the parts together the mystery of this ancient civilization can be solved.


The Story of Extreme Awesomeness (Tomas)

Intelegent creatures on a distant planet found out that rather than evolving,

it's much more efficient to share useful characteristics.

After many years of sharing and exchanging limbs the Fauna had changed completely.

Natural selection was taken to a whole new level, but as in every environment where creatures live together..

.. some creatures played by different rules. Fearless creatures which tried to steal limbs and body parts

from the other creatures


So the creatures fled their planet in ships created from their own bodies and limbs.
But the fearless ones followed them.

The creatures finally found a planet which seemed friendly:
Earth

But on entering the atmosphere the ships got shredded and many of the creatures and limbs got separated

raining down on the earth the creatures had to start over. Combining and finding new possibilities in their new environment

NB: On planet earth the creatures can combine with their alien parts, but also with parts from creatures, object or other things that exist here on earth.

Because the greedy, fearless creatures also landed on earth this can create some sort of dynamic story and reason behind the creatures actions.


From ordinary to extraordinary (Enitia)


In our daily life we meet stones, leaves, nuts and more things we see as ordinary. But what if these objects weren't ordinary at all...? A long time ago there was a war on Planetopia, and the civilians of this planet (the aliens) fled to earth. They took their rocket and landed on earth, but as soon as they touched the earth they changed into ordinary objects and were not able to control their movement anymore. The wind brought them to different places, so did human and nature did and the lost each other...And suddenly after thousands of years, they changed back to their normal state only... where their body parts separated too! Will you help them to be one again?


Escape of the android parts (Luuk)

In a laboratory in the Netherlands, scientists were secretly developing a project called 'Prolatus'. They tecnologically made human extensions, allowing man to survive in the most extreme environmental circumstances, such as extreme heat or cold and extreme heights and depths. What's more, the extensions all functioned autonomously. Artificial intelligence (AI) allowed the parts to act on its own, based on environmental input.

Then, one night, something that none of the scientists had expected happened.The emotional and survival classes within the extensions' AI had concluded that it was best for them to live as fas as possible from human beings. And so, one night, it happened. When the scientists were gone, the extensions crawled towards each other and connected, creating whole bodies. They broke free from the lab and fled to the outskirts of the world, where the most extreme conditions would prevent man from interfering with their lives.
