"Tho those who read these records. be you one of the Oikoumene, an inheritor to their legacy or, one of my rivals, or an individual that has managed to decipher our language. If you are one of the younger species of the universe I congratulate you on your efforts for I understand it was not easy. I hope that inside these records are the answers you seek about me. Of my station, of what became of me and my legacy. But I will not spoil what these records contain, my earlier hints may be a lie. For decoding the initial language barrier is but the first step. But whoever you may be I suppose I shouldapplaud you."

"My dearest Angolmois. I tried my best to reassure her but she will not listen...She blames herself, she blames the Preimercer fro not intervening. So many young nations collapse. But fate is a strange entity, always decieving. I wish I could reassure her and help her through but she has been like this for millennia. Perhaps I should give up on my endeavours? I endear her with all my heart, I long for the day she can smile again but nothing I can see has helped. Showing her the recordings of times gone by only swells her pain...What am I to do? This is an ongoiong pattern, but the denizens of Cirith Beleg...How can I tell her that the collapse of the civilisation of the Rades was from their own follwys, fro mthe wars they raged with the galaxy's other inhabitants. She treated them like her own flesh and blood. And now, from the folley of the young she mourns and it may be affecting her work."

"Word has reached the station of news from the core, the Patranois continue to challenge the council. It seems every week more and more of them no longer desire to be burdened by the hand of the Oikoumene. This information is anagolous to the adolescent phase of development in many animal and sapient species. In trying to find its pace i nsociety, a developing entity mey dispay rebellion, a desire for independance ot act freely of its own free will. In numerous societies such revolutions often occur during a period where education, debate and rationality begin to become more prevalent within a society - these periods test monarchies and theocracies to breaking point - and some civilisations have an environmental revolution. Is this an extension of this theory? A new stage? Or is it simpl the Patranois no longer desire for us to be constantly watching over them. I suppose like children, they require guidance."

"My dearest Angolmois has decided to side with Antediluvianás. I will try not to let my judgement affect me. I have no interest in this conflict between him and the Primercer so long as my work is not endangered. I believe I have come ot a conclusion...all empires have a limited lifespan. A species could evolve or develop but there is a point where empires cannot expand further or become realms to complacant to remain stable. I have run millions of siumulations using our sicence networks and there are rare anomolies wehre a society remains fully integral. While a species that becomes expansive enough can effectively live on for the rest of eternity, devleoping and evolving, the empire itself may crumble and be reborn anew. The question remains...how long before our own sublime empire follows this pattern?"
