About This Book
A community that relies on ancient machines to generate new life faces emergency when the Maternite Machine fails and the reservoir of Prelife vanishes, threatening future births. An older council convenes as priests and citizens offer rituals, debate the causes, and seek remedies while younger residents demand answers. Discussion traces whether a forgotten natural source of Prelife might exist and how dependence on ritualized technology obscures practical knowledge. The crisis exposes tensions between tradition and inquiry, prompting a search for lost origins and pragmatic solutions to secure the community's continuity.
