07. The Galactic Council of VII: Zeroth Keen
Intervene too soon, and a world may collapse. Wait too long, and choice may vanish.
Zeroth Keen is the Council’s keeper of convergence, charged with recognizing the moment when possibility narrows toward an outcome that cannot be undone.
He has witnessed civilizations fail beneath knowledge released before they could bear its consequences. As the ancient Bridge returns, those memories become an urgent responsibility: determine whether humanity stands before readiness or repetition.
Zeroth Keen follows the difficult judgment behind the Council’s restraint. Prophecy, free will, and survival meet at a threshold where silence and action each carry a cost.
