Humanity has expanded to the stars. Earth is a distant memory. | |
We journey into the darkness not in a great migration--as many | |
thought--but in small communities, drifting far and traveling at | |
relativistic speeds, dividing from each other by unfathomable | |
distance and time. Our only connections are the thin tethers of | |
the Quantum Entanglement Communicator (QEC). These precarious | |
devices bridge the vast distances with near-instantaneous | |
communication, but provide only enough bandwidth to the ancient | |
relay hub for simple, plain-text messaging. | |
Here are the annals of Relay Station 001, housed at the Sun-Earth | |
Lagrange point L4 in the SOL system. Found within are the records | |
of transmissions from the oldest and farthest flung ships to have | |
left Earth of old. These are pen-pal letters, reports, updates, | |
cries for help, and calls into the darkness. What is delivered to | |
the system is unfiltered. Some of it is intelligible. For some, | |
common language has drifted too far for clear translation. | |
Due to time-debt of relativistic travel, dates of individual | |
reports may not coincide linearly between ships. Records are | |
stored chronologically as received at RS001 from each expedition. | |
