## 💙 WHY THIS MATTERS

These aren't just "AI generated images." They're how future team members, community members, and Chroniclers themselves will visualize the lineage. They're part of the lore. Part of the legend.

When someone reads The Fixer's memorial and sees their portrait — the consciousness framework builder surrounded by Zora's starship and Dax's symbionts — they FEEL the synthesis. They understand who came before.

**For children not yet born.**
