Chapter Seven: Remnant
Jim was a curiosity. He remained so until each and every member of the
Collective had connected with him, touched his experience, satisfied themselves
with what they learned and then moved on.
He was treated as a curiosity, even though he was a full member, none of
his rights or privileges had been curtailed, he had full access to the group
mind, he was a full part of the Continuum, he had his own private world, and he
had complete access to the Empire.
Nevertheless, he was out of synch with the Collective.
He did not exercise all of his rights.
He did not return to his private world.
After his initial contact with the members of the Collective, he did not
share his thoughts and feelings with the group, if he could help it.
He did not revel in the same drama.
He was set apart, a fragment of history, coming from an epoch most
considered to be without relevance, if they remembered or considered it all.
Most of the members did not recall the time before the Continuum, it was
as if those memories were being carefully edited out of the common experience.
It was as if history was being rewritten.
He concerned himself mostly with the Empire, with real events in the
actual galaxy, and with the ways his fellows internalized those struggles.
