A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter I
A spacewreck presents many complications not in the rule book. Take survival--it's quite a basic instinct--but to some, so is politics! Quibblers may shove dictionaries in my face till the end of the universe and I will always maintain that almost anything you can name is a matter of good luck or bad. Every great man owes his success to luck of some sort. What made him great is what he did with his luck after he got it.
