- Every fragment of memory is important!

- Every fragment of memory is important! Thanks for answering promptly archbishop. Could you be objective about the relevance of the wreckage?

- Herbert, maybe a rational or objective explanation doesn't apply in this situation, but I believe that reciting an excerpt of our most sacred book might be suitable.

He was the first one that was transmuted and had his body destroyed. He survived even so and understood the real essence of the light of being. Recompiled our sacred book for months tirelessly until he was betrayed by those near him who didn't understand his message. He was arrested, executed and his body was left wandering in space. His words had been kept for hundreds of years among our order and now are the absolute truths of the known human universe.

- Sorry archbishop, I'm not sure I understood your words correctly. I only asked about your interest in the wreckage of the spaceship.

- Herbert, although it may seem profane what I would say, I'll take a risk. You found a ship that may seem to be carrying the most sacred relic for us. The mortal remains of the first one!

- I know I suffer from lack of faith, but if I'm not wrong this happened more than five hundred years ago. How is that possible?

- Herbert, who can give you technical explanations and discuss the possibilities are those from the order of the memory. I only follow the path of the faith and of the order. For this reason, we first need to confirm the veracity of what was informed.

- Alright. That was exactly what I was thinking about.

- It was through your research that we were contacted. We have in our records, the few ones that that were left after the great wars, the name of the vessel that was used to transport the first one, where his trial was done and served as his last dwelling place for eternity.

- Now we also have to consider that this all may be just a ridiculous hoax of a cyber group deprived from eternal soul, but with great knowledge, because the information about the name of the spaceship was always a well-kept in secret by the order.

- Wow! Babbled Herbert.

- Yeah. This way I assembled with the support of the order, a group of technicians to analyze the wreckages and confirm or not its origin. In the worst-case scenario, this was nothing but an attempt to demoralize us.

- And in the best scenario?

- We'll become rich, Herbert. Commander, for the time being, let's just keep this hypothesis between us since this theme is potentially dangerous and somehow even heretic.

- Heretic, how?

- Imagine if we find a relic among the wreckages or if we confirm that had never been a body inside that ship?

The commander nodded and silently took a bow to the archbishop.

He admired intelligent people and he was before a master of disguise.

The archbishop in turn, knew Herbert was a convicted agnostic. Like the most part of the top security force there were a few things that caused him a commotion, and one of these things were the easy money and in large amounts. Almost instantaneously, he restarted to plan his comeback to the primordial circles and in great style.

I'll make those who sent me to this hole swallow my return hard. Thought, Herbert.

- Sorry this repetitive old man, but let's keep this between us, cause even the group of specialists have only part of the information.
