Watch this movie and note the first image (after the Firaxis logo):

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Intro

Then watch this movie and note the last image:

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Secret Project: The Ascent to Transcendence

It's storytelling symmetry and dramatic unity, innit?

[Lord Avalon]

Is that not Alpha and Beta Centauri viewed with some kind of distortion?

[Yitzi]

It's storytelling symmetry and dramatic unity, innit?

Something like that.  And then you consider the last words of the quote for the Ascent, and compare the quote from the opening cinematic to the end of the Transcendence epilogue...
