Somewhere in the deep past there were four creatures:

One was a calf, perhaps a Yak calf, with a voice of wondrous harmonics.

Another was an eagle, soaring above the mountains raising great bowls to heaven.

The third was a man, who forged the wind of heaven into the weapons of angels.

Finally there was a lion, who transformed the sounds of the others into his roar.

Together they were HyperYak - the voice, the mountains, the roar of heaven.

Their time machine landed in a suburban street;

they set up their cones and drills and began installing ley lines.
