The Librarians
Greetings, intrepid readers. Yesterday I introduced you to Marcus Johnson’s Librarians. While they called themselves “wizards” they weren’t really. After the Arrival, Marcus Johnson’s lies were exposed and the Wizards were seen as the right hand of the Founder, there were assaults on anything and anyone associated with them. The name “Wizard” became more of a pejorative and friends of the Wizards started calling them “Librarians”. It was seen as a more innocuous title and separated them from Johnson, if only slightly.
The Green Revolution on Earth led to the destruction of much great art, literature, music and technology. Anything that was not seen as honoring the Green Messiah was considered blasphemous and much of it was destroyed by the Greenies. Some was rescued by individuals in the early SID (Science and Industry Division) but vast amounts of historical treasures were lost during this time.
Therefore, when the Earth Revolution destroyed the power of the Greenies, people on Earth found that they had to look to the Librarians on Harappa to restore much of what was lost during the Pax Veridis.
It was almost like finding an untouched Library of Alexandria.
The second of their three tasks was to continue scientific research. Tomorrow we’ll discuss what they did during their two hundred years of exploration.
Never mix red wine with Oodo.
