Chapter 30

Mother Arcadia, how is your everyday life in Terminus? Do you occasionally meet Mr. Ponyets?

My honey, Byron Farrell is quite a respectable man, and should I say proud. Now he has returned as a pilot in the Foundation Space Navy. He takes pride in being the best at repairing ships in the Foundation sector. He has a fondness for the triple stars and spaceship emblem.

Although he doesn’t boast about being the highest noble of the Neferus star near the Horsehead Nebula, he has completely transformed into a classical scholar. He eradicated the remnants of Sefsumack’s dictatorship and space pirates here on Planet Smyrno.

He is engrossed in books found in the old temples of Smyrno and talks to me about them every night after dinner. It makes me happy, but after a month, I have memorized it too. Now it sounds like a spell, and when he starts, I get sleepy. What should I do? He is the best husband to me, embarrassingly so.

Mother, he says we must advance Foundation into the next era. Although we have restrained the galaxy in decline with atomic power, Foundation must surpass atomic power to truly revive the galaxy. It seems the cause of the galaxy’s decline was the arrogance of human science and technology. Chaos seems to have originated from there.

Below, I will attach the text he discovered as it is. Please have Mr. Ponyets read it if possible.

“Human progress does not function without a device that is like a desperate struggle prepared in advance for self-destruction incorporated into the genes. At any limit, for example, just as water evaporates and becomes steam at 100°C, there is a saturation point. Niffian has suffered damages repeatedly that situation many times. The government’s confusion during the Corona Catastrophe at the beginning of the 21st century went beyond surprise to sadness. The cause, in my view, is clear. The greatest mistake was clearly manifested in the response of government officials during the Hukushima nuclear accident. That is, there was zero reflection on that nuclear accident. They abandoned final solutions such as the treatment of reused rods, the discharge of contaminated water containing radiation into the ocean, and the treatment of melted reactor cores, and tried to cover up the situation as unsolvable. And no one took responsibility and tried to shift blame. Even now, over a century later, there has been no overall assessment. That’s where the boiling point of Niff culture began. Whether Niff culture will perish or metamorphose depends on the resolution from now on. From ‘John Nack’s History and Philosophy Book.'”
