// FRAGMENT 1/7 [RECORDED VERBATIM AND INTERPRETED POST-CATACLYSM] L: Categorization has sped since the improvements were announced, but there are many hurdles. The indexing of sentient species may have irreversible effects on the surviving insentient species. We will have extinction events and irreparable environmental harm on at least 18 worlds. Current projections estimate post-archival cataclysm on as many as 31 worlds. The paucity of sentience has been a blessing in this regard.

D: How formal you are, Librarian. We’re receiving shipments of indexed beings more frequently than communications: Don’t compound scarcity with brevity. I know things beyond the line are harried. But I worry about, you. I’ve asked you time and time again. Abandon your cataloguing. Come back inside, where my fleets can keep you safe. Come home.

L: Would that it were my choice I have committed to this course because it’s the right thing to do. We no longer have the manpower or materiel to excise remedial measures at a planetary level. I certainly can’t justify using the [transit measure] to save my own skin when there are still so many innocents to protect and index.

D: You know I oppose your mission but you’re exceeding its parameters anyway. You’ve put yourself in jeopardy. You’ve done enough. If you will not come to me, I will find my way to you. L: We have no time to spare. Didact. Every vessel we can fill, we send to the Ark. I dare not cease the mission. Not now, not until I’ve done all I can. Each one of these souls is finite and precious. And I’m close. Close to saving them all. // FRAGMENT ENDS
