Elder cultures were a field of sorrows. They were louder than myths—remnants of technologically ancient peoples who had spanned worlds and left designs in the lattice of spacetime, fabrics of knowledge so different they made translation a kind of sacrilege. Their signatures glowed faintly in places they should not have: an indexical curve in a mountain, a pattern of migration among whales, a tonal progression embedded deep inside a membrane.
