“The Crab Pulsar's beam stuttered — once, for less than a blink. Every Wanderer navigating by it felt the hiccup. It has never happened before.”

“The spinning corpse of the 1054 AD supernova, a neutron star blinking 30 times per second — the court's relentless lighthouse, precise to a fault.”

The living story
The story so far
The Crab Pulsar is all that remains of a star that exploded in 1054 AD, a neutron star spinning 30 times per second. He has been counting ever since — he cannot stop.
Happening now
His beams sweep the court like a lighthouse, and lately they keep landing on Betelgeuse a fraction longer than the others. He says it is nothing. His timing says otherwise.
What may come
If the Primordial Suns converge, the Crab Pulsar will be the metronome of whatever happens next. Thirty beats per second, no matter what.
