[This question is always one of the first asked, so Oz is used to it by now, and even if he doesn't really have any solid answer to give, he can at least give an answer.]

CERES says that our worlds have all been destroyed by these aliens called the Flamines, but that... we aren't lost forever, I guess. They can retrieve our data and rebuild what was destroyed - that's what I understand, at least. [Which is pretty depressing even with the caveat of "well, it might be fixable!" Still, there's barely a pause before he moves on.]

But no one here has ever seen a Flamine before in any sort of book or anything like that. In the end, there doesn't seem to be any solid proof that says it's either a truth or a lie.
