This was inspired by music.
Nena's 80s great song , "99 red balloons", well... black balloons...
..."You and I, and a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got Set them free at the break of dawn 'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software Flash the message,
"Some thing's out there" Floating in the summer sky Ninety-nine red balloons go by..."
