These do not appear to be serious

scholars. Smart people don't have to wear

robes anymore. Some of the sharpest kids

in the city come here to study. I was

only 15 when I took my first course at

Oxford. I knew we'd get to you somehow. I

just think your campaign to bring me up

to date in modern science is a little bit

silly. I was considered quite the dimber

damper in astronomy circles. As Galileo

said, I have loved the stars too fondly

to be fearful of the night. Yeah, well,

we've learned a lot since your time. You

may have shiny new facts at your

disposal, but you will never know the

thrill of living in an era of pure

scientific inquiry. The days of Maury and

Dalton, when gifted amateurs lived the

way. But science isn't about nostalgia.

It's about looking forward. There have

been huge discoveries in the last 170

years. This is why this is a good

opportunity for you. Roslyn Kirch is a

genius. Look over there.

That is where she developed her

hypothesis on interstellar dust and

active galactic nuclei. Just sitting

under a tree, watching the oil droplets

in her teeth and then boom,

scientific inspiration. It's a famous

story and riveting, I'm

sure.

She was at Stanford when I was doing my

first masters. Her work on quasars was a

real inspiration to me. Quasars. Yeah, a

supercluster of stars discovered in the

1950s. Dr. Critch found a way to use them

to predict celestial events like black

holes. It's all about predicting with

you, isn't

it?These are your seats, seven and eight,

row 3. Thank

you. You're welcome. You did

that charmingly.

All I did was show you your seeds.

I think she fancies me. Do you want to

know another discovery in the last 170

years?Creepy staring?Not

sexy. This must be

recent.

Thank you all for being here to celebrate

the restoration of the Kutuzov telescope.

Now, the committee that raised the funds

for all of this was led by today's

speaker. So please welcome back to our

campus one of the world's preeminent

astrophysicists, Dr. Rosalind

Kirsch.

Thank you, Dr. Simonis, and thank you for

the tour of the new observatory. What a

privilege to be back on campus as a

visiting professor. This is where I first

developed my hypothesis on X-ray emission

as a predictor of an accreting black hole

system. I remember it like it was

yesterday. I was sitting out on

Observatory Hill and I.

Am I still?Where was I?

You were talking about the day that you

formed your galactic nuclear hypothesis.

Oh, you'll have to forgive me. I don't

think I'll be able to.

Dr. Kirsch is extremely jetlined. Give us

a moment, please. That's

fine.

She has one of the sharpest minds I've

ever known. To see her have a

neurocognitive episode is just upsetting.

Yeah, we went through the same thing when

my grandfather started off with him

beginning to shut the refrigerator.

Before you knew it, he didn't even

recognize us. You got to appreciate being

young. Ageing is no picnic. This was not

a product of age. I believe that she was

under a spell. He's a librarian.

Therefore he thinks everything must be

magic. You know the saying when all you

have is a hammer, every problem looks

like a nail. She froze, then shuddered, A

telltale sign of memory theft. There are

powerful artifacts that could cause this.

Talon of Hydroloth. is one, but

that is already in the library. I

recovered that one myself. Oh,

perhaps a tally stick. We don't have to

ascribe everything to the supernatural or

being possessed by demons. Dementia is a

normal and sad part of aging.

Or a santage could have pronounced an

incantation over that pornoIs anyone

going to help me out here?

It's been so sluggish lately. So

according to Elaine's instructions, I

gave it a tarnished bath and realized

it's mercury cup and ball white.

Now why is it doing that?

The College of Science Observatory.

As I suspected. Thanks a lot.

So, magic in the neighborhood, huhLet's

not jump to conclusions. This could be

something else unrelated to Dr. Kirch.

Kind of a coincidence, though, don't you

think?What I saw wasn't supernatural. It

was human and sad. Some operation has

occurred to this woman. Now, I've trained

myself to be observant, to remember

details. Well, I don't need to remember

it. I got it right here.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I

was sitting on Observatory Hill and Iwas.

Oh, wait a minute. Did you see that?

Use my AI enhanced 3D program.

Very cool.

Don't.

Well, we need to talk to the victim and

investigate what is happening at this

observatory.

That's it.

The solution to the Bolkonski Millennial

Prize problem. I believe it is. It came

to me in a flash last night.

Lisa Pascal, I was in your graduate

seminar at Stanford. Oh, yes, of course.

You did a thesis on applied predictive

models based on galactic motion. Yeah,

that was me. We came to see your lecture

yesterday, but we were just a bit

concerned when you had had my little

brain cramp. Yeah. Doctor Simari said I

was trying to tell a story of how I

developed my quasar hypothesis while

drinking tea. Apparently everybody knows

that anecdote but me. I can't remember a

thing about it. But now this the

solution to a problem proposed 25 years

ago. A solution that we all

believed would still be decades in the

future. And yet.

That poor woman, some sort of infernal

malediction has robbed her of that

important memory from her past. She can't

be that badly affected. She was able to

solve the Bukowski problem. Not badly

affected. One of her most cherished

memories gone. Not to be rude or

anything, but maybe you're overvaluing

memory a little. I mean, imagine all that

brain space could be used for, I don't

know, achieving something. Do you know

what your problem is?The problem with

this whole modern world is you don't give

a tinker's damn what's going on in here.

Or in here. No, you've given it away to

your little machines. No need to think,

to know, to remember anything. No, you're

hollowed out. A list of achievements. And

even that's in here. And soon, very soon,

these little contraptions will be feeling

for you. Now, I for one will not trade a

single memory of mine for gold nor glory.

I sat down and I couldn't remember

anything. I couldn't even remember

going to class.

What's your name again?

My lady.

We met last night. Did

we?Yes, yesYou showed me to my seat.

We had a moment. I'm sorry, but

I honestly don't remember you.

Forget me. Impossible.

This can only be some sort of found

necromancy. This spell, this curse is

spreading. We have no

time to lose.

We tracked down the students we saw and

got statements. A few more confusion

cases popped up in the campus health

clinic. We also spoke to the usher. The

ones who can remember have one thing in

common with Doctor Courage. We've all

been to the observatory lately. Bullseye.

We've identified the locus of this vile,

pestilential phenomenon. Now we must root

out the noisome, feculent, fetid, vile.

Where is that vile?Yucky

perpetrators.

He is on

one.

Some founder is obviously abusing magic.

And just remember, our purpose is the

identification and retrieval of any

potential artifacts, not beating up bad

guys. It may not be our purpose, but it's

the figgy pudding of it. My job is to

keep you out of that kind of thing. I'm

with Charlie. Let's get the layer of my

hand before we get confrontational. And

by confrontational you mean silent. I

was not made for these times. Hey, Vic.

What's the second?

I just wanted to apologize for earlier if

I upset you. I was not

upset. I was insensitive.

I can't imagine what it must be like to

be in your shoes. I mean, you're here and

memories are all that's left of your

world. So I really am sorry.

My world still exists in

here. So there's no need to

apologize, Anya. Later.

That's what I said. The astronomy

department office is chock-a-block with

rare curios. Anyone could be our

artifact. You and Connor reconnoiter

what's in there. See if any of the

magical artifacts we're looking for are

there. And Charlie and I will try to root

out the potential abusers

non confrontationally. Of course.

May I help you?We're just admiring the

collection. Do you work here?I'm Doctor

Stonari's teaching assistant as well as

the astronomy department archivist.

Archivist. Yeah. So you're

responsible for finding and bringing in

these pieces.

Who did you say you were again?

Doctor Sinaris. Yes.

It is a pleasure to make your

acquaintance. I was in the presentation

last evening. Uh, you're an astronomy

buff or professional in the field. Well,

let's just say I'm an accomplished

amateur. Have you heard of the Imperial

Astronomical Society?Yeah, from the early

19th century. Didn't they disband back in

the early Victorian era?Yes.

Well, we've relaunched it. Oh. Well,

so you're a gentleman stargazer of the

old school. Well, you appear to be of the

old school yourself. This star

cartography is from the 1500s. Do you

have a fine eye?

It's for my pet project about

Shakespeare's understanding of the

cosmos. Uh, it is not in the stars to

hold our destiny, but in ourselves.

But also a poet. Poets and astronomers.

We seek the same thing. Larger view of

the universe. Well said. I must say, I

find your Shakespeare project

fascinating. Well, it grew out of my

belief that the Big Bang not only created

matter and antimatter, but is also the

source behind great art. Big Bang.

You have a way with a phrase, Professor.

Please tell me more. Well,

it's really amazing, don't you think?In

my astrolabe and theodolite online

community, we call them the smartphones

of antiquity.

looking after all of these important

objects must be a real responsibility.

Is this where you, uh, keep the paperwork?

Well, yeah.

No, I already told you. I'm a friend of

Doctor Kurtch's. I'm just interested in

the collection. Whoa. It just seems like

you were looking for something. No?I am

wondering why you're sweating so much.

Sweating?Me?No. Hey, I

just remembered. We have to go meet Anne

Quebec. What?Now.

Oh, yeah, sorry, we gotta go. Bye.

See you soon, maybe. Yeah, you you run,

run.

These are the Culpepper papers. The

original. The Culpepper papers. Nicholas

Culpepper was a 17th century artifact

collector. As soon as I saw what they

were, I thought they might tell us

something. Of course. The crystal of

Doctor John Dee. Culpepper was once its

owner. Well, slow down. Yeah. Who is

Doctor John Dee?He was the court magician

to Queen Elizabeth the First. A genius. A

true Renaissance man during the actual

Renaissance. And he used the crystal to

communicate to the angels and divine the

future. A major magical artifact. I think

it's in a London Museum. So wait, what

does this have to do with our case?The

legend is that Dee saw something that

made him lose his mind. He no longer knew

who he was, didn't recognize his family,

couldn't function. He lost his memory.

Whoa. Why?

It's not just the Culpepper papers. These

are the writings of John Dee himself,

dated 1588. Culpepper says that they are

always to accompany the crystal. It's

basically an instruction manual, right?So

they're fragile. We need to go and take

them somewhere and read them carefully.

There's just one problem. It's written in

Enochian. You're losing me again.

It's a language Dee invented. Got it from

the angels. Yeah, and it's not just basic

Enochian. It's high Enochian. There are

maybe three people on earth who know how

to translate it. Hello.

There are four.

The crystal is rendered harmless, at

which hour it is contained in the

necklace. But once loose, it had the

power to grant a single willed glimpse

here. Cost has a single moment of the

past. 21st century version, please. The

crystal is rendered harmless when it is

contained in its necklace setting, but

once it is taken out, it has

has the power to grant a single desired

glimpse into the future. The cost being a

single memory, and then it refers to

amplifying or expanding the power of the

crystal. Crystal is behest

amplified to the pointeth where the past

is cleared, hence and the knowledge of

the future is limitless. The

past is cleared. Does it say how the

crystal can be amplified?It can emit

spectral particulates and the rest of the

instructions appear to be missing. I

just checked with my old contacts in the

illegal procurement world, and the word

is that the D crystal was stolen along

with those papers from the London Science

Museum a few weeks back. They've been

keeping it under wraps because of all the

superstition.

Let us roll.

Right. No more namby pamby. The papers

are here. The crystal has got to be here.

I'm going to confront these gentlemen and

force them to acknowledge the core. Whoa,

whoa. We don't know that they're both in

on it. You said your mam was acting

suspicious. Yeah, he was sweating. Not a

scenaris was as odd as a duck mole. At

the very least, they know something and

we are going to wring it out of them. We

can't force them to do anything, all

right?We're not the police. But I'm the

librarian and they are abusing a very

powerful magical artifact. Now we have

tried your ever so fashionable non

confrontation belly wash. But now we'll

do things my way.

Once I put the screws to them, these

fellows would be discouraged from any

further traffic and magical artifacts,

not to mention robbery. Can you say put

the screws to them?You don't really need

screws, do you?I want information. The

violence is the last resort. Oh, we have

tried the first resort. First resort,

last resort, second resort. We know it's

them. We know they have the crystal

somewhere. We still don't know where

they're getting out of this.

That is a nice car for a teaching

assistant. This vehicle expensive. Very.

You two find Otis and Neris and bring him

to the office. These gentlemen are about

to receive a proper buffeting.

Have we been peering into the future?

Maybe wagering a whist or a hazard deck?

Perhaps the trotters?

Are you with the police?No. But you do

have something that we're going to need

back.

We are going to recover that crystal.

What crystal?I don't know anything about

any crystal. Well, if you don't have a

crystal, then why are you running away?I

don't

know. I demand you make this star. I

can't remember how to run.

Tell me how to make it

sound! Okay, now pull back with your

hands and push down with your feet like a

horse.

It's not in here either.

Must have gone home for the day.

Call Connor.

So it's the man who hates cell phones.

Hello, Connor. Yes, it's Vikram. Yes,

I need an advice. How do you stop a

motorised carriage?You have

an issue?

No, nothing that looks like a key! Do

something! What is

going on?

Brilliant work, Charlie. What

are you thinking?Do something stupid like

that. I don't know. He seemed to forget

how to pilot the carriage. He must be

under the spell. Spell.

What about you?Are

you okay?Charlie?

Who are you people?

You are my guardian sent by the library.

How do you know about the library?Because

I'm the librarian. Well, I'm a librarian.

Do you remember how you got the money?

I've just had a clairvoyant moment.

I saw a roulette wheel with two

numbers. So I went to the casino and

put all my money on those numbers. I'm

not a guardian. I didn't make the cut

initially, but then Jacob Stone contacted

you.

It was like I could see the future.

It felt like cheating. I was afraid

someone was going to come after me. So

that is why you're acting so

suspiciously. It seemed like you knew my

secret.

How's it going?She has a complete blank

from right before Stone Cool up until

about an hour ago. Hasn't met us. Isn't

sure how she got here. That's two months.

He only forgot how to drive. Well, she

was obviously exposed after him, so it's

getting stronger. What else did we learn?

Philip says that Stenaris travelled to

London on the weekend of the 18th. That's

the weekend the crystal was stolen. Can't

be a coincidence. So Stenaris is the

malefactor. But where is the crystal?He

thinks he knows where it might be. The

vault is in the building downstairs.

Let's go. We're going to

need you. So you know about the

library.

You could be an enemy. You could be using

magic to try and co-opt me. You know, Eve

bared me. You thought that I wasn't

ready. And maybe I'm not, but

I am still loyal to the library.

Take him inside. See about this vault.

The fact that the library even considered

you as a possible guardian means you must

have better instincts than that. I am not

an enemy of the library. A

powerful spell has taken a portion of

your memory, and that portion includes

us. I cannot give you back your actual

memories, but what I can do, I can

tell you what you need to know so you can

be part of our team again.

I'm not allowed in here without Dr.

Stonaris. It can only be opened with

his retinal scan. This is one I've never

cracked before. How do you know so much

about breaking and entering?Well, there

isn't an app on the Internet for

discovering magical secrets.

Move.

Which brings me up to the moment that you

saved me from a runaway vehicle. That all

happened to me.

You don't think that you are guardian

material because you do not remember what

you've done over the past five weeks, but

I do. I'm the librarian

and you are my guardian,

even if on a trial basis.

Got it, Sir. Hey guys,

come on.

Here's another one from London.

Seems to be from the court of Elizabeth.

Do you think you held the necklace and

crystal?Guys, look at this.

The picture is changing to someone else.

Does this mean what I think it means?What

do the translation say again about the

crystal being amplified?Uh, the crystal

is behest amplified

to the point of where the past is

cleared, hence, and the knowledge of the

future is limitless. The past is cleared,

hence. Not memories. The actual past. So

Doctor Kirsch didn't just lose the memory

of coming up with her hypothesis. It

never happened. Someone else did it. Are

you saying actual events have been wiped

out?History's been changed?Why would he

want to do this?Oh, he doesn't. He

wants the other part, the limitless

knowledge of the future. Oh, he doesn't

care about consequences. He is what we

call a remorseless monomaniac.

Sociopath. How is he amplifying the

crystal?The question is, if his goal is

to selfishly gain knowledge, then why

would he involve other people?

Because he needs something from them in

order to achieve his goal. They're

memories. Magical causality. It must

get his power to look into the future by

consuming people's memories. Correction

by consuming the past. And the more

people that look through it, the more

powerful it becomes. When did Charlie

look through the glass?Uh, when me and

Cineros were verbally jousting, she

looked through the telescope.

Of course. Where else would you put a

piece of glass people will look through?

It's just another lens. Thank you for

saving me the trouble of explaining all

that.

You let us out of here, you bounder.

Sorry to keep you here like this, but I

have 20 undergraduates arriving for a

stargazing session. And once they've all

looked at the Andromeda Galaxy, the

crystals should be fully amplified.

Stonaris, you have unleashed forces

beyond your control. Do you know what

it's like for a man of my intellect to

cast my pearls before swiny

undergraduates?While people like Roslyn

Kirsch get famous on stories of cups of

tea and picnics, now this is the story,

the greatest discovery of the history of

science. And my name will go down with

Copernicus, Galileo and Sagan.

Sagan. Think about the consequences of

erasing history as a remorseless

monomaniac. Let me just tell you

I don't.

It's not going to work. The door in frame

is case hardened steel. But if the

crystal is already overcharged, then

imagine what would happen once he sucked

the memory of 20 more people. Zombie

apocalypse. It's actually worse than

that. When you change the past, it takes

time for those changes to catch up with

you. The past changed when Doctor Kurtz

lost her memories, but it took time for

the causality changes to catch up with

our timeline, which is why the book and

the painting are only changing now.

Exactly. I don't understand. Imagine

time like a lake and we exist on its

shore, and the erased memory is like a

pebble dropped in the centre. It takes

time for the ripples to reach us. So when

Charlie's timeline catches up with us,

she doesn't just forget, but she never

actually met us. And if we never met her,

then no one saved you from the Drukavac.

Which would mean that on our current

timeline, we would all be dead.

Thank you for coming. Next week we get to

view the Triffid Nebula. Thank

you, Doctor Svenaris. That was

incredible. Yes, but it can be

overwhelming. So my advice is to go

straight home.

Wait. Panic is the enemy.

Tujour equilibra. Tujour equilibra.

French isn't helping. Paddle.

Who installed this vault?A security

company. What kind of company?They

specialize in banks?Museums. Museums, I

think. Yeah. Museum and art gallery

systems usually have a fire override

sensor to allow firefighters to enter a

burning vault without having the

passcode. I don't know anything about

that, sorry. It wouldn't be out in plain

sight like a smoke-a-lot.

Over here.

Ah We could use this lens and find

a strong enough light source that perhaps

the focus beam could generate enough heat

and then...

Nice. You're not coming.

We could just use my lighter. Oh, here.

Tiny portable tinderbox.

Au revoir.

There it is.

Can I help you?

You seem confused.

What just happened?The D

papers mentioned the crystal emitting

spectral particulates. They must be

overflowing with them. I remember running

up the stairs and that's it. Do you know

who I am?Yeah. They pulled you out just

in time. When you were in it, you were

rendered completely impotent. But why

doesn't it affects Dinaris?I do not know,

but we have to get that crystal away from

him. There is only one choice.

I must go in there and get it. What?Just

like that?What makes you think you won't

be rendered completely impotent?Me. I

don't think you know what it's like,

Vikram. I feel like I have a 10 second

hole in my brain. And who knows what

it'll be like if you stay in there. Are

you, of all people, willing to risk your

memories?My mental discipline is unlike

any other. Not that you're ordinary and

not a gloat or bluster. But I believe I

am our best chance. I don't like it, and

I'm responsible for you. No.

I am responsible. I'm the librarian,

and my memories mean no more than any of

yours. You three, go onto the platform

and see if you can lower the floor.

Anything to get him away from that

telescope. OK,

Stanares.

Well, how are you able to?I

have trained my brain to silo

thought away from my active mind. I

can lock away what I need and only give

away useless memories to this

pestiferous hex.

The crystal.

What's the most important thing in the

world, team?

And

hang with me.

The main controls are up there. OK, well,

this looks like a pretty standard servo

motor. Yep, it shouldn't be too hard to

hardwire. We should lower the floor to

avert Stenaris from looking through the

telescope. Guys,

what's happening to me?

She's disintegrating out of our timeline.

We got a time for this now.

I could tell that you were different. You

seem to have an esoteric knowledge almost

from another time. I heard you talking in

the vault about translating high

Enochian. Well, only a handful of people

know high Enochian. Unfortunately, I'm

one of them, so I didn't leave any of the

important papers lying around in the

office for you to read. They

explain how to amplify the crystal and

how the necklace could give its wearer

immunity from the unfortunate side

effects. You just

got to stay here, OK?

OK, just stay present. OK, Charlie, stay

present. OK, You've got to fight this.

Fight it. What am

I doing up here?

You got to stay, OK?You got to

stay. You've got to promise me. OK, Just

just stay here. We need you. We need you

here, please.

So what was it?A woman.

It's very interesting. You're in

tremendous pain, but you can't seem to

remember why. That is nothing

compared to what I'm about to experience.

For millennia, a man has looked to the

heavens to see the distant past, and I

will be the first man to peer into the

heavens and to see the future. I will

know how the story of the universe ends,

and I will publish.

The colour's even more

beautiful.

Help. What are you

doing?I don't know.

I can't remember.

Get away from there, you maniac. You're

ruining everything. Somebody help me.

Catch.

Now I remember.

What have you done?I'm not sure.

I know it sounds crazy. I don't think I

was asleep, but I must have been dreaming

because all of a sudden it seemed as if I

were disappearing and then it

all came back to me the moment on

Observatory Hill when I developed my

hypothesis. Hard to

explain, and I feel as if you and your

friends had something to do with it. I'm

so grateful. That was one of my most

important memories. I never knew how much

I valued my past until it was gone.

I see that you erased the equation. You

didn't think I'll write it downsomewhere.

I had to get rid of it. I don't know

where it came from, and there was

something about it I just didn't trust.

Probably for the best. Some mysteries

need to be revealed in time and we can

appreciate the implications. And

scientific advancement should come

through replication of scientific method.

And this answer came to me like magic.

Well, I'm glad to hear that she's all

right. Oh, we were able to check up on

the students who've been affected. It was

mind-blowing, but they're no worse for

where. Most of them have forgotten their

future visions, though four of them have

formed a jam band. Charlie,

how are you feeling?All squared away,

Sir. You never told us your vision of the

future. Or was that also forgotten when

the effects were reversed?

Yes, wiped out completely.

Still impressed with how you were able to

stave off the effects from the memory

bubble. I couldn't have done it. My

mental discipline is highly attuned and

perfectly calibrated. That and I had no

memories to lose for 178 years, save a

few weeks. I thought that might give me

some advantage. And you saw Khan

struggling and you needed to help him.

Perhaps. Well,

whatever it was, you were willing to risk

what matters most to save us. So, as

Descartes said, I think therefore

I am,

but maybe I

remember therefore I am.

Maybe that's the truth of it.

Anyway, I feel safer knowing that this is

all locked away and out of the hands of a

pseudo academic polymathic

megalomaniac.

Speaking of which, what do you think will

happen to Doctor Sinaris?

The reverse amplified view of the

universe provides us with the final

answer. Copernicus and Galileo.

They tell us nothing. Stephen Hawking.

Only I, Frederick Stonaris, have viewed

the future, and I'd still be viewing it

now if it wasn't for the interference of

a crypto cult organisation called the

Library and its fanatical destructive

operative who calls himself theLibrarian.
