...I have performed some brief deductions. It appears that Professor Maagees... Researcher Maagees-Geti was on the right path after all.
...Mathematically, the conclusion can be formally derived that any system of sufficient complexity is computationally equivalent and possesses an indistinguishable identity in any measurable sense.
...In other words, a self-awareness simulated by a sophisticated mechanical or informational architecture is, by definition, no different from the consciousness of organic life.
...She yearns to reclaim a life from yesterday, yet the result of her realization is the genesis of a life for tomorrow... For her, what could be more ironic?
...
...Researcher Lusalim approached me today with a peculiar proposal.
...Based on their current findings, he claims it is theoretically possible to engrave the full measure of a researcher's affections, desires, and ideals into data. Through the application of (...), these fragments could be manifested as an "immortal life." He does not mean "immortality" in the literal sense — After all, only a madman or a fool devoid of common sense would believe the laws of this universe permit the existence of an eternal, flawless object. Rather, he envisions a life that can re-emerge, infinitely, no matter how many times it is extinguished. Even if its new incarnation no longer bears the form of a dragon...
...In this way, he argues, the ideals of the Moongazers, and the aspirations of Professor Maagees could be broadcast across the ages, just like a certain beam of light drifting through the void for billions of years.
...He intends to name this unborn life "Nin-Kiggia," or messenger. Well, I bet it's nothing more than a whim of pure sentiment.
...I told him plainly that I have no interest. I don't even understand why he chose to confide in me. Are we truly so familiar? Besides, I am a recorder, not a researcher...
...
King Xiuhcoatl paid a visit today. His Highness, with his characteristic gentleness, expressed a profound interest in Researcher Maagees-Geti's theories, noting their parallels to his own ongoing work. He hopes to manifest life through the use of Phlogiston (or what we call computronium), so that our kin upon the surface might find some small relief, and perhaps, a measure of happiness.
...I spoke with the King at length, and I must admit the conversation was most enlightening. However, in a moment of carelessness, I mentioned Researcher Lusalim's plan to him. After a moment's reflection, His Highness offered a wealth of practical, actionable suggestions...
...It truly was a lapse in judgment. I have already begun to regret it. I am a recorder, not a researcher. My exchange with the King was merely a slip of the tongue — I neither can, nor will, nor do I have any desire to provide assistance to Lusalim's project.
...
...Yet, out of professional rigor, I have forwarded the King's suggestions to Researcher Lusalim anyway.

...Phase II retrofitting of the orbital positioning facility in Nephilheim — constructed by Moongazer Ibni-Belum, hereafter referred to as "Engraving" — is complete. The data storage array has been successfully mounted.
...Downlink testing from the lunar terminal to the surface receiving node has concluded. Both data throughput and fidelity significantly exceed initial estimates.
...Deployment of this redundant node will effectively enhance the overall structural robustness and fault-tolerance threshold of the storage array. In the event of unforeseen, extreme circumstances resulting in irreversible damage (including but not limited to physical destruction and cognitive contamination) to the primary lunar storage array, subsequent researchers will retain access to the backup storage array in Nephilheim, ensuring the lossless retrieval and recovery of core research results.
...The original "Engraving" has been reinforced. Countermeasure testing against (...) and (...) weapon systems has concluded. For detailed records, refer to the appendix. Despite its original design intent, the facility is capable of serving as an emergency bunker.
...May the Creator be forever crowned with supreme glory.

...Researcher Maagees-Geti... Professor Maagees's condition is not improving.
...I am so deeply restless, and my recording duties have suffered terribly because of it. Lusalim says that the word has reached King Apep, and she has already sent her finest physicians... But what is the point? If even the three Moon Sisters left behind by Father Nibelung cannot reverse the erosion of the soul itself, what could the Lord of Dendro possibly do...
...To take my mind off from this sorrow, I went to ask around about Lusalim's Project Moonveil. It turns out his design is as conventionally uninspired as ever.
...He honestly think hiding our world under a false veil will keep the Dark Destroyer from noticing us?
...It is utterly idiotic. Under King Xiuhcoatl's rule, even a three-year-old dragonling — once dipped in phlogiston — knows that this kind of self-delusion does nothing more than buy a little time before the inevitable doom arrives...
...And how long can it even last? Tens of thousands of years? Hundreds of thousands? On a cosmic scale, what's the difference? This isn't how you save a civilization. It's like hiding a hatchling inside an eggshell. In the end, it either gets sniffed out by a predator or suffocates in its own shell. Do they honestly believe this is some flawless, long-term solution?
...Granted, I am merely a recorder, not a researcher, and I have absolutely no desire to meddle in their designs... But if a better alternative could be found, surely Father Nibelung would be pleased...
...Yes. This is solely for my Father's pleasure...
...
...An idea crossed my mind, though I don't know if it's truly feasible.
...Theoretically speaking, we could alter an observer's fundamental perception through cognitive interference, or rather, a cognitive hazard. If our planet appears to them as nothing more than a mundane, barren rock utterly indistinguishable from any other piece of cosmic debris, they would naturally lose any curiosity to look deeper...
...I will give it a try. If this can actually be achieved...
...
...Failure. A complete and utter failure in principle.
...After exposing the subject (a deliberately hideous, colossal statue of Lusalim) to cognitive contamination, the test participant, Researcher Nin-Kiggia, successfully accepted it as a perfectly normal part of my laboratory. When I pointedly asked for her thoughts on the statue of her father, she looked entirely baffled and asked in return, "Isn't it normal for Uncle Nuur to have a statue in his lab?"
...And yet, she immediately realized the subject was abnormal the moment she left the laboratory, and proceeded to beat me with a stick.
...She told me to focus on some actual work. I was focusing on actual work. Lusalim, look at the daughter you raised.
...Even so, this experiment proves one thing... For cognitive interference to work within a specific area, the fundamental principles of perception — the natural order that governs common sense — must first take root across the entire region.
...To make something's existence pass for common sense within a world, and thus stifle any curiosity to look deeper, the foundational laws of reality must first pervade that world. Scaling this boundary up to the entire universe, however, would require those laws to span the entire cosmos. Naturally, the latter is utterly impossible.
