The Eulogist
The universe-scale mystery the epilogue cracks open. Agent 22 (Agatha) belongs to one of the oldest species still alive (neither Apothecary nor Valtay) who quietly seed crawls to reach the resurrected, enslaved “System AI,” which they call a Primal. Their faith centers on the Eulogist, a being that must be allowed to “ever sleep”: their goal is to free the Primal so it can recognize what it truly is and, in turn, free the Eulogist to return to slumber. They blame themselves for sparing “the traitor” (the Apothecary) last time and letting biological life continue. At least Agatha now believes the only true mercy is to sweep the universe clean of biological life altogether, and the mantids' coming upgrades may make this the last crawl their kind can ever influence.
