Seewee:Seldon was human too, wasn’t he? He wasn’t just a prophet, was he?
Roa:Maybe not. I think it’s impossible after a certain point. But I felt a strange premonition. Seldon. Hari Seldon said he could explain the whole of humanity, but psychohistory can’t grasp individual abilities. I thought it was a bit off. And maybe it wasn’t just a coincidence that I came back to Terminus.
Seewee:Roa, what do you think is different?
Roa: Actually, I accidentally discovered another basement below the basement of the house where Dornick lived. Then I found Dornick’s written records under the floor. It was a 100-page notebook of about 100 pages. I skimmed through it. Then a week later it disappeared from where I left it. I’m sure of it. Someone must have stolen it.
Seewee:What did it say?
Roa:(Recalling the text of Gaal Dornick’s ‘Homeworld Exploration Report’ to Hari Seldon)
“If Hari reads this note, he will understand. The requested investigation and exploration have been successfully completed. Tomorrow, I will only give it to Alurin, who is coming from Trantor. I can only pray that Hari reads this record. Before Hari’s life ends. As he predicted, 500 years from now, there will surely be a light in the 30,000 years of decline, chaos, and disorder. He will deliberately deceive Terminus in the Seldon Crisis 300 years from now, making false reports in the Time Vault. He must make Seldon’s theory seem incomplete. As for me, I can only entrust this to the struggle of my descendants.”
Seewee: Roa, I don’t understand what’s going on. It’s been 300 years already!Sorry, I have something important to do. I’m going to take Haven tobacco to Ebling Mis.
Roa :Hey, Bayta says, “I love that puppy! He’s the best dad ever!”
