As told orally by Terr-Tarae—Age 71, Generation 259

On Earth’s soil, life is eternal.

Eternal and happy.

Humanity waits for us in their ageless paradise as we partake in this ethereal trial.

Just think of the Primes’ original parents, oh how thrilled they will be upon our return.

Although they worry over our delay, Earth’s humans have no doubt.

They will be waiting with open arms to take us into infinity.

Humanity knows the truth about our departure, which is why they cheer us on so faithfully.

How could they possibly forget the truth?

For millennia, Terrence Martin and Abigail Melfi served as their rulers—a benevolent king and queen.

Their empire knew nothing but peace.

Nothing but prosperity.

Nothing but progress.

And so God saw as well.

The Creator declared humanity as being worthy of a final trial to determine their worthiness for divination.

If they passed the test, humanity would join God in the kingdom of Heaven.

And so God took humanity’s most perfect specimens—Terrence and Abigail.

God gave them a vessel and brought the Primes to the other end of the universe.

They were told to return—or perish.

They were told to create God’s Eye as a machine.

Uco—the Creator’s vessel.

Only God’s Eye may show us where we have been—where we must go.

And so we carry out the Primes’ Holy Directive, for the sake of all humanity.

For God’s sake.

May we find our way home.
