Description
I have the digest for you, your name. I need not tell you to take great care with it. And to keep it far from unfriendly hands.
This book holds many truths...
...And the truth can burn.
In progress
Ho! You were gone a long time. Did you get the digest?
Completion
You got it! Oh, hope glimmers!
Your efforts may yet save us, your name. A monument they should make of you! A shrine they should build! May your name be praised until your grandchildren have grandchildren!
Unless...THEY are freed and rise to the surface. If that happens then you can forget about children.
If THEY are freed, then we're all worm food.
