Video Transcription

Speaker 1

When I was a child at the edge of the galaxy, I heard stories about a man who could forecast the future.

But the story remained dark to me until many years later.

Until it became my story.

Until it became the only story.

Speaker 2

You're familiar with my work, Psychohistory?

Speaker 1

Every mathematician has read your theory.

Speaker 2

It's not a theory.

It's the future of mankind expressed in numbers.

And the Empire won't like the future I predict.

History is littered with charlatans and false messiahs.

We should kill them.

We can murder the men, but what about the movement, brother?

Martyrs tend to have a long half-life.

Speaker 1

His math was right.

The Empire is dying.

Speaker 2

Wars will be endless.

A thousand worlds reduced to cinders.

Change is frightening.

Especially to those in power.

But we can soften the fall.

So what's the plan?

Many years from now, if humanity is to climb from the ashes, the coming generations will need the knowledge to build upon a foundation.

Speaker 1

We must preserve only the most essential pieces of civilization.

Deciding what is remembered, what is forgotten.

Speaker 2

We are now staring down a barrel of a crisis.

Speaker 1

This is the plan.

We're not turning around now.
