The xenologist Fluoch of Mistwood brought this story to Avalon. Christopher Holm/Arinnian of Stormgate prepared a suitable version for the Earth Book.
"Day of Burning"
We return to Rennhi's researches. Falkayn's Avalonian descendants had a vague tradition that he had been on Merseia. Rennhi set out to find the truth. On Falkayn's home planet, Hermes, she learned that he and van Rijn had transferred data units there, placing them in the care of the Grand Ducal house and of the Falkayns. Information would be more secure on Hermes than in the Solar System where the Troubles were brewing. After the dissolution of the Polesotechnic League, there was no longer a decipherment program and the units remained almost forgotten in storage. With permission, Rennhi transferred the molecular patterns to Avalon where she began a code-breaking effort. The military helped because war with Terra was imminent.
The cracking of the cipher developed cryptography even though the records had no military value. Hloch and Arinnian made a narrative of the account of the trade pioneer crew's mission to save Merseia from the effects of the nearby supernova, Valenderay.
