<span style="color:#40678e;">My cross-check for the identification code in SCRIBE ARCHIVE XI-2-4A proved quite fruitful. The trail of datacrumbs led me to a databank retrieved from a Rainship originally downed on [[Mercury]]! [[Saint-14|The Saint]] and [[Osiris]] were kind enough to share it with me, along with a pot of tea.</span> | <span style="color:#40678e;">My cross-check for the identification code in SCRIBE ARCHIVE XI-2-4A proved quite fruitful.

From your encounters with the [[Disciples of the Witness]], we know that they all had their own understanding of this concept - that they all saw what they wished to see in it. But this communications log, here, appears to predate all of them. If I am correct, and the parties communicating are among the Witness' precursors, then this may be the concept's original form. We can see in this log that HNW and RS, at least, were preoccupied with the concept of a higher purpose. They sought the final shape, but at the time of this exchange, they did not agree on what it was, or how to achieve it. RS speaks of how the final shape will prevent suffering and maximizing benefit; HNW expresses concern over the methods of achieving this.</span> | <span style="color:#40678e;">In any case, the concept of the final shape has worn many faces.
