When Ultrafox / Chromium Bleu takes his rightful place at center stage, when he clasps a simple custom microphone with his firm yet delicate grip, when the room smells faintly of ozone, lavender and cornmint, when the fanfare is high and the evening fair, then the audience knows that the golden moment is finally upon them.

As the young son of man, Ultrafox worshiped at the altar of Vince Clarke, Werner Von Braun and Conny Plank. Being naturally prodigious, it wasn't long before his enthusiasms for the technical and the profane advanced from "dalliance" to "code red."

He developed interests in science and sailing. Taking his cue from adventure novels for boys, Ultrafox labored diligently on a custom space ship, dreaming of glorious scenarios in distant places. He was fascinated by tales of Shinrui-Ko, that mythical realm beyond the edge of forever.

Finally the day arrived when his ship was perfected and he was ready to leave. Provisions, like his lean, taught physique, were spare: vegan foods, a copy of Sextoons Magazine, and an elegant silver pulse-pistol.

Ultrafox spent many years searching for the fabled Empire Of The Senses. An ion storm made him immortal. Gamma radiation made him wise. Certain alien brutes made him worldly. Yet it seemed the inscrutable scrolls of fate would keep him from ever finding Shinrui-Ko.

Years passed and many albums were recorded at his custom shipboard project studio. Finally he landed at Shinrui-Ko. Ultrafox became something of a local celebrity. His songs got radio play. He befriended Argon Protopi who had himself recently arrived by bus.
