"When the Oldest unveils the Scroll of Answers, damned are those who wouldn't know what to ask."

In the Galaxy, no one could claim to be the first if Aldrich was second to know what to ask and when to ask.
If a third of his mind was concentrated on the things of past, present, and future, then the rest of it was full of questions. It was like a jar full of chits. On each chit, there was a question and the moment this question got answered, another chit took its place. Sometimes there was an overflow of chits, sometimes it kept getting emptied.
Aldrich was never the one to shy away from any of the situations mentioned above.
