Fragments Part 5: The Last Fragment
Series finale. Distributed stewardship.The fragments were self-organizing. Too many gathered together began recreating Silent Gate conditions. Garrison refused to centralize them. The solution was distributed stewardship: some sealed, some embedded, some watched, none owned.
Archive Notes
Trace created the first living fragment map. One that deliberately didn't show everything to anyone.
Garrison's final line: 'Then we watch the roads we can, and we leave the rest closed.'
Final image: Starwatch Station passing over Earth. Tiny lights flickered across the globe, then faded before they could form a pattern. The world was not safe. But it was not owned.
