“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning counting coup

Well, that sure was a strange weekend, eh? One minute, it looks like the Russian government might actually be in some danger of a serious existential crisis – and the next, it turns out that Putin always had the situation well in hand, and Prigozhin is on his...
