Personal Journal of Kurlund. Universe 117. Entry 413.

Today marks the departure of the outer Watcher teams, marking the end of the celebrations and frolics of the idle universal beginnings. As is the start of every cycle, there is no need to monitor the early universe. During such time, all are free to do as they will. Such freedom is welcome after billions of years working, but it soon loses its luster. I spent the universal beginnings as I usually do, catching up with friends and family, delving into the library records, technological research initiatives, recreational drugs, and general debauchery. My hopes for this cycle being different from universes past have already vanished, but so has my apathy of existence. As the universe expands and galaxies form, it is time to continue our good work. The outer Watchers will be the first to send reports back to the Library of Time, and with them, my work begins.
