From a [[galaxy]] so remote it is [[unknown]] to us, a [[light]] brighter than a billion suns is guided through the shaft of a [[wormhole]], fading in [[intensity]] through the expanding [[cosmos]], but not before some of it – however faintly – reaches [[earth]]. Within minutes, during one moonless night in 1996, a few thousand [[photons]] from this powerful light landed on the [[mirror]] of a [[telescope]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico New Mexico]. A computer at the observatory registered the faint signature of light, but no one could have [[fathom]]ed that it had triggered something that had been lying dormant in the desert of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaco_Canyon Chaco Canyon] for 1200 years.

In the summer of 1996 two college students innocently stumble upon an otherworldly [[artifact]] while hiking in northern New Mexico near an ancient [[archeological]] site, called [http://www.wingmakers.com/chacocanyon.html Chaco Canyon]. Through a chain of [[mysterious]] [[events]], this artifact ends up in the hands of the [http://www.wingmakers.com/aciolab.html ACIO], an ultra-secret, unacknowledged department of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA National Security Agency] responsible for reverse-engineering recovered [[extraterrestrial]] [[technologies]].

The [[artifact]], which becomes known among ACIO operatives as the Compass, is quickly determined to be of [[extraterrestrial]] [[origin]], and its [[purpose]] is eventually construed to be a homing device. This leads the ACIO to assume it is not an isolated artifact [[random]]ly [[discovered]], but rather part of a larger configuration of artifacts – possibly leading to a spacecraft.

An exploratory team from the ACIO is dispatched to the [[discovery]] site of the Compass [[artifact]] where it is confirmed that the Compass is a homing device, leading the team to an intricately [[design]]ed [[structure]] carved deep inside a canyon wall. A [http://www.wingmakers.com/ancientarrowsite.html helix-shaped corridor] spirals up through the rock with 23 chambers jutting out at ten-meter intervals. This amazing discovery is initially [[thought]] to be an extraterrestrial time capsule left behind by an alien [[race]]. Each chamber contains an [[enigma]]tic [http://www.wingmakers.com/wallpainting.html wall painting] and an impenetrable [http://www.wingmakers.com/artifactmodelc12.html technology artifact]. In the uppermost chamber, the [[scientists]] uncover an [[optic]]al disc presumably holding the [[information]] about the site's creators and their [[purpose]].

   −
After considerable effort to access the optical disc, the ACIO team, led by Jamisson Neruda, finally succeeds, and determines that the creators of the site call themselves WingMakers. Over 8,000 pages of [[philosophy]], poetry, [[music]], genetics, sub-[[dimension]]al [[equations]], and [[cosmology]] are contained within the disc. The WingMakers are [[thought]] to be representatives of the ''Central Race'', the most ancient race of [[beings]] in the [[universe]], and the legendary [[Creator]] Gods of life on all of the other galaxies. They are the genetic caretakers of the [[universe]], once thought to be Gods when they interacted with the human race in [[eons]] past.

Thousands of years earlier, aware of the [[earth]]'s distant future, the WingMakers constructed and left behind [http://www.wingmakers.com/locationmarkers.html knowledge repositories] upon [[earth]], on each of the seven continents. The New Mexico site was the first of the seven to be discovered. These seven sites are linked together through some [[mysterious]] means, and the [[information]] contained within the sites is for an uncertain [[purpose]].
