Absolute
So much of them were lost.
Their hope for salvation, for mere survival, had dwindled to nothing. Their vast civilization had been reduced to dust. They had no future and no longer had a past.
They were a handful strong, weak yet from their long sleep. Many among them questioned what good would come of their borrowed time. Two simply knelt amongst the dead and could not be roused.
Only one looked ahead, beyond their species' end. Only one realized what worth they could be, not for themselves, but for future life. Only one gathered them forth and into history.
