The Archivist | Location: The Nexus Databank | State of Mind: Blank, Pondering


The faint illumination of distant stars glazed the Archivist's cloak, allowing a thick shadow to form behind him as he stood stoically with hands behind his back, allowing his human brain to ponder off into the deep regions of space he was admiring so greatly from behind the reinforced floor-to-ceiling windows of the Nexus Databank.

The Archivist was dumbfounded - a state of mind he had been deprived off for an immeasurably long period of time and thus despised gravely. He was having difficulties recalling the last time he had experienced said ineffable sensation. The feeling of being baffled and to not know something - to wonder.

As motionless as he was speechless, the Archivist was perfectly aware of the Fall although not unlike everyone else throughout the galaxy, he could have only wished he had some data regarding a past event resembling that of the mentioned. He wasn't terrified, no. And neither was he surprised. He was withal perplexed to say the very least.

Due to his nature, neither food or water was a necessity for the Archivist. They were as impactless as age. As for power source, the geothermal energy from the planet Nexus resided on was far beyond sufficient to power both Nexus and fuel the Archivist's power cells. Problems could have arose when its defense systems were to be turned on, withal.

He continued to watch and ponder aimlessly with lowered defense systems - welcoming any incoming fleets out of pure curiosity when a sudden static noise fizzed from the radio - comm interface across the observing room and stimulated his auditory tubes.

"Th-zz-messa-zzz-eat-zzz-t-z-es.." 

You didn't need to be a genius to fill in the blanks - someone was broadcasting a plead for help and assistance - but such matter was trivial to the Archivist - he was still immobile, his mind lost within the abysmal depths of space.
