The nights are stricken with silence only to be split by the sound of slow Jazz playing in the distance, echoing off the glum streets and buildings. The sound is fitting for this time. The song playing is "Basin Street Blues", by Louis Armstrong. A year passes and in 1930 a rather precarious article hits the New York Times newspaper. It says "May, 1st 1931 - President Hoover officially turns the lights on for the Big Apple's own Empire State Building only to have his peepers blown out by a curve being standing on top of the beams of the building".
The article says that there was a Martian atop the Empire Sate Building that day and that it has not been seen again after the lights were illuminated. The men that now continue the work on the building work cautiously and without rest. The being has not been seen again.
