Thinking about the other iterators and how close they were to salvation. I did find the solution; I just did not have time to transmit it. The “triangulators” were correct, it was dangerous to know. I was so close. I never had a chance. It would have taken me many cycles to discover how to communicate it safely. I did not have time.
And, even now, where it would be presumably safe to do so, I still cannot describe what it was. In going from a supercomputer the size of an island; god on earth; to a small animal, many things are lost in translation. I no longer have the processing power to truly understand what it was.
I don’t feel guilty so much as I feel disappointed… I am from the base game canon, and The Saint was not my solution. But it still gives me closure to know that, eventually, in some universe, the others were able to shed the cycle.
