February 2020Over the course of their thirty-year relationship, Frank Williams had been Admiral Cortell’s only true confidant. He knew the details of Cortell’s fifty thousand-year-old memories of Dr. Kadeya’s long-ago life. Because he knew the story so well, Frank rarely sat in on the sessions when Carla and I recorded the Admiral’s recollections. Frank did, however, read every word of the transcriptions and assist with editing our voluminous notes.
On this particular morning, he was puttering around with the lighting and recording equipment and listening to the Admiral’s recitation. “You know,” Frank said, “I can completely understand Kadeya’s burnout.”
