Message {ENCRYPTED} - From Curator Ω to Director Jidox
Director Jidox, I send you this message with most troubling news.
There have been a total of six (6) different and sapient Apex Species found on the planet 3QU15-1, located in the 3QU15 System, that have been found by the newest Curator, ξ. There have been no accounts of any planets that we have discovered containing any more than two (2) Apex Species at one point in time.
Along with the inversed orbital patterns of the star and planet... I fear that this may be the One.
Esteemed Director Jidox, what are your orders?

Tell no one else about what has been discovered so far. It is bad enough that this new Curator, Xi, happened to chance upon what could very well cause a massive upheaval within the Conclave. Are you positive that there are no other trustworthy Curators within a relatively short travel distance?

Message Response {ENCRYPTED} - From Curator Ω to Director Jidox
I consider all of my Curators trustworthy, Director Jidox. The closest Curator to ξ would be Curator Σ, but it would take her more than forty-seven (47) Standard Days to travel to 3QU15, even while travelling through Inversion as often as possible. I believe that we will have to be content with Curator ξ doing the Reports for now.
I ask again: What are your orders, Director Jidox?

Message Response {ENCRYPTED} - From Director Jidox to Curator Ω
I want as few of us to know of this discovery as possible: allow Xi to continue doing the Reports, but if he steps out of line or asks any questions he shouldn't be asking, I will have to replace him with another Curator.
We can only wait and hope that no other signs point to 3QU15-1 being the One.

I shall comply with your orders, Jidox.
As an added note, please refrain from referring to any and all Curators by name. We gave up Ourselves and use symbols to show our devotion to the Way, something a non-Curator could never understand.

If you were anyone besides the Head Curator, Omega, I would strip you of your title and send you to the furthest corner of Known Space to work as a Cleaner for the rest of your Days for being as insolent as you are.
I will call whomever I want whatever I want, Omega, and not you or anyone else has the authority to tell me otherwise!

My name is Omega no longer, Jidox. I gave that up when I joined the Curators all those Years ago; you would be wise to remember that. You may outrank me, Director, but I hold more power than you ever will.
...
The next Report shall be forwarded to you as soon as I receive it from Curator ξ.
