Chapter One: Ordinary
Jim wanted to be as far from the Continuum as possible. He spent ages
in the Imperial fleet tracking down the lost colonies, subtly guiding the
investigations, most of which led to graveyards.
Planet Earth was the end. He settled in, and watched a new culture
emerge from the lost children of the Ancient explorers.

Chapter Two: Eruption
The colonists on Earth had fallen from spacefarer to
hunter.
The Continuum was fascinated by their devolution, and then
the volcano in Indonesia wiped everything out.
All the people were left with was a vague memory of
their former glory, captured in the snipits of myths, and the maps that were
passed on through stargazing.

It was standard operating procedure for the Observer to bond with a family,

He gave them a virus that changed them in subtle ways.

Chapter Four: Tribes
Strong-new tribes formed after the cataclysm. Jim mingled with
different groups in each generation, differentiating them from one another
with subtle alterations in their breeding.
He guided them across the continents to key places, where they could
evolve independently.
This kind of intervention was forbidden, but he discovered a way to
hide his clandestine activity.

Chapter Five: Love
Love, altruism, on a certain level these are chemical process, the
capacity for which depends on a sequence of amino acids, proteins, and
enzymes. These building blocks were augmented in humans with a retro-virus, a
parasite, blending its genetic code with its host. It fomented a utilitarian
blending of compassion, and desire.
It was art.

Chapter Six: Music
The collective memory began with rhythm, and became a code fixed in
the genes. It united all of the human tribes. It was the drum beat, and that
was the back bone of the story through which they all narrated their shared
history.
The universal archetypes flowed from there.
The Collective was obsessed their music.

Chapter Seven: Purpose
Jim knew that it was only a matter of time before the next cataclysmic
event.
Every planet with a molten core experienced them.
No one knew how the Ancients dealt with these, before they reached the
stars.
For the technologically advanced the science was not a problem. He
deeply desired to save humanity from it.
