There is excellent news from across the Universe. The council of advanced species has granted us Homo sapiens candidate status. A member of the council named Narg Dedrom has been tasked with leading a series of correspondence to guide us towards reaching an acceptable level of advancement to be able to join the council as full member. As the correspondence plays out, however, it becomes evident that the task is extremely arduous and almost doomed to failure. Humans are simply not ready to make the necessary changes and this unreadiness may have far greater consequences than simply jeopardising our candidate status. Throughout his letters, Narg will provide some insights into the reasons for our existence and the nature of the Universe. He will also reveal a secret about our past that should not leave us indifferent.
