Henry looked at mankind and became worried. He saw that humanity in its endless endeavor to explore had stretched itself too thin. Henry feared that mankind's vast separation would lead to its isolation. So Henry took pity on man and used his vast wisdom to conjure a device that would stitch humanity back together. 
 
 He knew that the task of creating this new device for every man, woman and child was beyond even his own power. So Henry asked of humanity to give him its finest workers for the task. Soon hundreds of men had answered his call. These men were unskilled, hungry and weak. Yet Henry said that these men were perfect for the great task before them. 
 Henry, with his wisdom, then created a womb for the device to be created in. Inside of the womb was an array of machines that Henry taught each of the workers to use. The men soon fancied the machines as they never became tired working alongside them. Soon enough out the grease of the machines and sweat of man was the first device born. On it was the sigil of Henry. 
 
 Then Henry and his men created millions of the device that would bring mankind back together. He gifted each of his workers handsomely for the gift that they had created for humanity. Soon every man, woman and, eventually, child became fond of Henry's device. Others like Henry soon became jealous of him and his gift to humanity. So the others soon began creating their own versions of Henry's device with their own sigils. 
 
 Even though the time of Henry has long past us, we still appreciate his gift today. If you are still pondering what Henry's gift to us was then you should know his sigil. Ford.
