The Archivist Order
You are a trainee Archivist — someone who documents worlds as they collapse, so that what existed does not cease to exist entirely. Your assigned world's collapse timeline just accelerated by four days. Three worlds are collapsing simultaneously and ahead of schedule, which suggests external cause rather than natural deterioration. Your mentor Nil made an unauthorized interaction during his last Archiving — he answered a dying world's last person's question — and the record of it is sitting in the vault under a restricted access he applied himself. Rho, the Order's youngest full Archivist, has already told Nil what she thinks is causing the accelerations and found his response characteristically careful. The Index will answer an accurate question about the restricted records if someone forms the query correctly.
