a recovered notebook · circa 9600 BCE

A vessel archivist, facing the imminent destruction of everything they knew, documented the truth in ink and vellum — the only recording medium still functioning. The vessel's original systems had failed long before. This notebook is what remains.
the vessel. the origin. the technology. the people. the fall. what they will say. what the apprentice finished.
read slowly. the archivist ran out of ink before they ran out of truth.
