== History ==
=== Background information ===
The super-smart and cunning Gorgeth Bierack found out that Michael Thompson had a surviving son, Tom. However, Bierack kept it a secret and tracked the exact location of him. He then sent Sathrons to his location to kidnap him, in hope that he could toy with him and hopefully help to start up a new project to remove his boredom. 
=== Kidnapped ===
On 7 March, 2007, Bierack sent his Sathrons down to kidnap Tom. At the time, Tom was with his friends, Matthew Abrams, Harrison Attwood and Will Wilkins at a park in Mount Vincent. When the Sathrons confronted Tom, he and his friends were completely shocked at the beasts. They all attempted to run, the ghosts chased them until they cornered them and decided to kidnap them all instead of just Tom Thompson.
They then brought the boys back to Gorgeth Bierack in Suezeus. Bierack was happy to see Michael's son, so he greeted him kindly. Confused and scared, Tom did not know what to do. Bierack promised that he was a "good-guy" and took blood samples of the boys. He told them he only wanted their help for a new project. He also told them that Asolas would kill him if he found out. Bierack then let the boys go back to Earth.
=== Aftermath ===
Confused on what just occurred, the boys wanted answers. Tom stormed home and demanded answers from his adoptive father, Bernard Henderson. Bernard knew the time had come so he told Tom about everything. He also showed Tom his father's old work and gear, including the first Memory Seal.
