| − | == Synopsis == |
||
| − | ''[[Gaal Dornick]] leaves her life in [[Synnax]] behind when the galaxy’s greatest mathematician, [[Hari Seldon]], invites her to [[Trantor]].'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Plot == |
||
| − | On the planet [[Terminus]], a group of children dare each other to see who can get closest to the [[Vault]], a floating structure that projects a [[Null field|field that discourages people]] from approaching. [[Poly Verisof|Poly]] tries to get as close to the Vault as he can, but is rendered unconscious. While his friends go for help, Poly is rescued by the Warden of Terminus, [[Salvor Hardin]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Thirty-five years earlier, [[Gaal Dornick]] travels to the planet [[Trantor]] from her homeworld of [[Synnax]] at the invitation of the famed mathematician, [[Hari Seldon]]. On the trip, she meets [[Jerril]], who helps her adjust to being off-planet for the first time. Arriving at Trantor, Gaal is met by [[Raych Foss]] and taken to Hari. He congratulates her on solving the [[Abraxas Conjecture]] using [[Kalle]]'s [[Ninth Proof of Folding]] and then tells her they will both be arrested by the [[Galactic Empire]] the next day. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The ruling Cleons, [[Brother Day]] and [[Brother Dusk]], educate their younger clone, [[Brother Dawn]], on the subtleties of ruling the [[Galactic Empire]] along with their aide, [[Demerzel]]. As part of their duties, the Cleons meet with delegates from the planets [[Thespis]] and [[Anacreon]], two worlds embroiled in a mining dispute. Imperial appraisers were caught in the crossfire, forcing the Empire to act to maintain the peace. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At a tribunal, Hari reveals that through [[psychohistory]], he predicts the Empire will fall within five hundred years and enter a period of barbarism that will endure for thirty thousand years. However, Seldon proposes the creation of a [[Foundation]] to create an [[Encyclopedia Galactica]] to safeguard science, civilisation, and the story of the human race. With these in place, Seldon hopes to soften the blow and reduce the dark ages to merely a thousand years. Gaal is asked to debunk Hari’s predictions but she cannot and confirms his theory. The moment she does, Brother Dusk orders that they both be executed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As the tribunal concludes, a terrorist attack on the [[Star Bridge]] decimates Trantor and leaves millions dead. In the wake of the terrorist attack, Brother Day seeks out Hari and Gaal. Instead of killing them, Day exiles them to Terminus to establish their Foundation. Hari sees Day's intent; if the predictions are wrong, then the Foundation will be forgotten at the edge of the galaxy. If they are right, then the Empire will be able to take credit for assisting the Foundation. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On Terminus, thirty-five years later, Salvor Hardin approaches the Vault and reaches out to touch the artifact. She is completely unaffected by the null field. |

||
| − | *[[Gaal Dornick]]'s opening narration mentions [[Hober Mallow]] and [[The Mule]], two characters in the [[Foundation series|''Foundation'' series]]. She notes that they are among the heroes and villains fighting for the fate of mankind, although neither appear in [[Season One]]. Both characters would appear in [[Season Two]]. |
||
| − | *When describing the [[Genetic Dynasty]], [[Gaal Dornick]] describes the three brothers as being clones of [[Cleon I]] "decanted at different ages." However, each Cleon is decanted as a child and grows naturally as is established later in the series. |
||
| − | *During the dinner scene featuring the three Emperors, [[Brother Dusk]] is sitting in the middle position, with [[Brother Dawn]] to his left and [[Brother Day]] to the right. In all subsequent dinner scenes in the series, save for the dinner before Brother Dusk's ascension in "[[The Mathematician's Ghost]]", Brother Day will occupy the middle seat, with Brother Dusk on his right. |
