I have contingencies in the event of my own disappearance. You might wish to ask yourself why Istredd positions himself as sole arbiter of all this information.
[As in, Viktor is asking himself this as well. Scholarly interest is one thing, attempting to have all the information consolidated in his domain is quite another, especially when Viktor is sure that nobody has a handle on the technological aspect the way he does. Irregardless, Linhardt and Istredd are relative strangers, and despite his willingness to exchange information, Viktor has other friends, ones he trusts with the things he's working on.]
Space, meaning the physical world--or worlds, in this case. Time, meaning the progression of events. I'm referring to the intersection of the two.
