Invariant was shocked to learn that Revendicate was the former-[[Auditor]], and asked what information Revendicant wished to access from the Absolute Record. Revendicate instead declined, instead wishing to deposit information into the archive collected from various sources, intended for archival in the event that the Harbinger's plan succeeded and the [[Xalanyn]] were freed. Invariant reviewed the information before ultimately accepting it into the archive, with the two ancilla agreeing that the strength of [[John-117]] may be all that would save the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] from the Endless threat.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p6}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=487}} | ||
