The world exists and can be understood through reason, and the Archivist’s knowledge is up to the task. When faced with an incomprehensible situation the Archivist can try to assert control either by claiming to have knowledge of the situation, or by resolving to investigate. In any case, I will wave my imaginary “I know what I’m doing/I don’t know what I’m doing.” Sign and claim 1 XP.
