在我科员生涯的早期，我不可遏制的研究动力有几个重要来源，它们分别是与生俱来的好奇心、未受现实玷染的朴素正义观、面对童年和故土的消逝却无能为力的痛苦。

Several significant things contributed to my unwavering motivation as a researcher in the early years of my career: My inherent curiosity, my view of justice untainted by reality, and the agony of being powerless in the face of the loss of my youth and my motherland.

这些复杂的情绪，促使我写下了一本又一本关于银河正义、星球历史和邪恶派系的书籍。我在其中探讨混沌的秩序和宇宙的明天，一度以为银河的过去、现在和未来都已经在我的胸中，直到……那件事的发生，让我知道我终究只是一介研究者。当现实发生时，我无法阻止视人命如草芥的强者，也无法挽救在风中消陨的弱者。

Because of these conflicting emotions, I've written lots of books about cosmic justice, planetary history, and malevolent factions. In my works, I investigated the order of chaos and the future of the universe, and I once thought the past, present, and future of the cosmos were already within my grasp, until... that incident happened and revealed that I was only a researcher after all. When reality hit, I couldn't stop the powerful from destroying people's lives, nor could I save the helpless people who were dying.

于是在科员生涯的后期，我不再探讨正义。正义，对不拥有力量的人来说，是一个过分奢侈的词汇。在生命的尾声，我计划在空间站内进行一个神秘的实验。艾丝妲站长已经同意了我的请求。

As a result, in the final years of my career, I ceased investigating justice. For people without power, justice is an overly lofty concept. I intend to undertake a secret experiment inside the space station at the end of my life. Lead Researcher Asta has agreed to my request.

这个实验将尽量避免给任何人带来麻烦——自知不合情理，故而在此告罪——它只是我不再苦苦思索正义的这一思想转折的微末附属品，只是为了实现我一个小小的，小小的祈愿。

I'll try not to bother anyone with this experiment — I realize it's an unreasonable request, so here's my confession—this experiment is only a minor substitute for my abandonment of justice, just to fulfill a small wish of mine.
