Chapter One: Institution
Jim established centers of learning among the tribes, even while they
were pre-literate.
He built up systems and oral traditions by which they captured and
recounted their histories, which became narratives that took decades to
master.
He trained them to manage calamities in this way, to preserve their
fragile condition. He conditioned them with mnemonics.

Chapter Two: Logic
There was safety in the vast structure of the schools
he founded. Within the great walls of those institutions he formed secret
societies to protect and carry out his work.
He layered control devices into their collective memory,
repeated through the stories they told, the lists they memorized, the tropes
they etched into their hearts.

Chapter
Three: Method
The human body had developed a reliance on aggression as a survival
skill.
The colonists had come to rely on swift action to mitigate crisis. That
had to be tamped down to ensure the survival of the tribes, to keep them from
tearing one another apart.
Jim conditioned altruism into the social values he propagated.

Chapter Four: Truth
Jim had to
be careful in how the genetic properties and psychic qualities he was
engineering into the human race manifested themselves in the population. He
introduced subtle changes, and monitored the families for generations
following that, normalizing those changes before moving on.
They had
to be kept in tension, isolated, and guarded from exposure.

Chapter Five: Communication
Jim began to peel back the barrier that separated one human
consciousness from another, he learned to manage their confusion, medicinally.
Madness and insanity followed his subjects, in some cultures he
established cultural protections for these people, allowing them to thrive
and procreate at random.
In other cultures he isolated them. He deliberately ostracized them.

Chapter Six: Foundation
Jim was pleased with the reaction he received from his subjects.
Few of his experiments resulted in death. Most came through the
changes alive, aware, able to procreate.
He established different social paradigms in various cultural groups
for how to manage the gifted, establishing structures to identify and report
them to him for closer observation.

Chapter Seven: Mission
Jim was
happy for the first time he could remember.
He was
filled with a sense of purpose, he was moving toward the completion of his
mission.
He was
looking for resolution, and he found it, at the end of the line, in the last
remnant of the Ancient people still remaining in the galaxy.
