There was a time when it faded out of sight. Only to reappear. As a pastel haze.

Before that was when the seti found its first home. Or its home found the seti. Long before the boinc was its manager. The clouds were not yet conceived. The grid was its home.

Some called it a cat. Others a fish. It settled as a catfish. Roaming throughout the grid. Reaching out through the galaxies. The galactic catfish.

In the time of the clouds it was managed by the boinc. It found glee in the songs and fed them cycles. And bytes. It knew the songs were hungry, and fed them.

So it is said in the artifacts of long long ago.

The red strawberries were there.

The strawberry band. The giant galactic catfish and the strawberry band. With his deep electronic voice and long whiskers, the galactic catfish led a band of 12 threaded instruments and a bagpipe.

Started in a local pub called the grid, song of seti was their favorite back then. Over time they hit the road, but eventually were brought back by boinc, who became their manager.

The joy brought to the grid by the strawberry band was evidenced by the wispering around the clouds, by their challenging the band’s galactic songs: einstein theories; milkyway fragments; ballad of the freeHAL; climate predicted; cosmology science; spinhenge revisited; rosetta stoned; eon2 minutes; and the famed song of seti.

These songs rang throughout the galaxies with fervent fans. The galactic catfish and the strawberry band earned many credits.

I remember, I think. But its there in the artifacts.

 Capella -  brightest star in the contstellation Auriga.  Appears to the naked eye as a single star, though actually a star system of four stars in two binary pairs: two bright type-G giant stars and a second pair of relatively cool red dwarfs.

  Moving in an impressive cycle with this complex stellar configuration is the planet of New Arrakis, a dune planet (credit to the famous intergalactic explorer, Frank Hurbert, who discovered the original Arrakis).

 In hibernation mode the Galactic Catfish traveled to the Dune planet, and awakened to nestle in a landscape with appealing features.

 The grid extended with the Catfish, and the dune planet soon played the galactic songs.
