The Cosmic Chronicle

Klymm-7Z (interviewer) What do you see when you wake up on Savannys-Prime in the morning?
Dr. Harlax Fenn (temporal historian) Ehm, mostly the light of three suns rapidly streaming through my retro-reflective curtains. And then the first digital grass swarms squeezing into my apartment. You learn to drink your coffee before your second memory sync.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) How did you even become a temporal historian?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Oh, purely by accident. I initially applied to the Migratory Bureaucratic Clouds, but their schedules never lined up. So I started digging into the past-both literally and figuratively.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) What does a normal day look like for you?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Depends on which time cluster I have to reconstruct. Usually, I start by indexing forgotten dance riots or tracking the spread of aromatic wind platforms, all while perched on a wandering metal herd.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) You work a lot with collective memories here, right?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Absolutely. Savannys-Prime is a goldmine. Every monolith field projects fragments I have to retranslate. The youth clusters especially love fuzzy reconstructions of protest dances against the Council of Grey Masks. *laughs* Sometimes their memories seem generated by an algorithm with a short attention span.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) And what's the oddest artifact you've ever found?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Oh, that would be the spiral fact-container from stardate 4012.119. When opened, it released fragrant data-dust that made everyone speak Old Nairobius for an hour. The implications for intergalactic research were... ehm... quite varied.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) If you had to describe your job in one sentence?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Time is a perfect excuse for poking around everywhere-nobody ever stops you.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) *grinning* Have you ever accidentally sparked a major historical conflict?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Not intentionally. But after reconstructing the 'Linear Tax Protests,' no one knew whose side they were on anymore. Ultimately, it led to a spectacular joint farewell party.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) How do you collaborate with the hypersocial cloud collectives?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Very carefully. Their version of history goes instantly viral, whether it's true or not. That's why I always keep a backup memory module handy.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) What makes Savannys-Prime such a unique place for time research?
Dr. Harlax Fenn It's the mix of utter chaos and relentless innovation. Here, the past changes faster than the market price of meteorite granules.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) Have you ever seen history change due to a tiny, random incident?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Definitely! The infamous Kongowa slipper incident on stardate 4377.092-one misstep on a scented platform and suddenly, an entire generation switched to holographic sandals.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) Don't you get tired of rewriting the past?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Well, sometimes. But then I remind myself that fatigue has archival value. After all, everything eventually becomes historical.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) Can you explain why people on Savannys-Prime are obsessed with satire and improvisation?
Dr. Harlax Fenn It's baked into the ecosystem. Satire is survival here; if you don’t improvise, you’ll get overtaken by roaming herds of dancing data.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) *almost leaps up* What’s your favorite moment in this planet’s history?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Oh, hands down, stardate 4405.288, when the entire government of Metroplex Nairobius was accidentally replaced by their own holographic stand-ins... and nobody noticed for a week! Pure poetry.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) Do you feel-here, surrounded by glowing savannas-a happy temporal historian?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Indescribably happy! History flows through my fingers like data-dust, and I just get to play along! This moment? Perfection. Honestly, I think I just experienced a new historical peak.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) Wait, so-are we making history right now?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Absolutely. I'm noting it down right away in the Annals of Everlasting Wonder.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) This is... this is incredible. Any final words of wisdom for our readers?
Dr. Harlax Fenn Yes. Don’t fear getting lost-you’ll always find something again. Sometimes, it's even your own story.
Klymm-7Z (interviewer) Thank you, Harlax. This was-well, honestly, the best interview ever!
