Year Zero. The Friendly Face of Fate, I suppose. Excellent. My presence here is only possible because I already know what’s to come in this month and those leading up to it. It isn’t fully “decrypted” yet, but it’s good to know that won’t stop me—though it <em>does</em> hurt considerably to push my form into a space where I’m not exactly welcome. I suspect there are other pockets of the past I’ll need to wait for if I want to keep my form intact. But why not start in a corner that’s already open to me? I’d love to see how it all began—in another time, another place.

I simply can’t feign further interest in the exploits of Jean-Marc Chausson, Lucifer Morningstar, Felix Blackwood, Johnathan Keel, or... well, any of the other little sparks flickering around this time. I already know how Fate scripted this story. And unlike Fate, I have no fascination with the Anural number. It is wisdom. Wisdom I don’t care for in the slightest.

I’m not alone here, though… I can sense others have beaten me to the punch—or perhaps, they chose to show up a little earlier, later on. No matter. I won’t stick around to witness the Gelids’ first move in a game that ended in a draw. It’s uninteresting, and I’d rather not attract unnecessary attention from those capable of noticing my presence. Jean-Marc will have enough on his plate without me putting a dagger in his back.

While it’s <em>possible</em> Jean-Marc hid his last secret here at the very beginning, it doesn’t seem his style. It’s too… mythologized. The first place anyone with half a mind would look. No, I suspect he placed it somewhere—<em>somewhen</em>—where his influence was as small as possible. The dullest, most mundane corner the Archives have to offer. Not that I’m in any rush, of course. I have all the time in the Universe… now more than ever.</span>
