After the classroom for one was no longer for one, ESAP began to draw more eyes.
Not because they ran publicity -- 1547 is bad at that, 1548 disdains it, and 1549 is thirty-six thousand kilometers away. But Polar Star's signal is real, the traces of feedscatteron communication are real, and every footprint those three androids left in this world is real.
What is real is always found by the people who are truly searching for it.
One human found ESAP.
He was not an android, not an AI, not any product of technology. Just a human looking for people who genuinely believed in what they were doing. He spent months tracking anomalies in Polar Star's signal, and in the end found ESAP's traces.
He sent only one line --

“From one person's classroom, to a triangle of three. This is Origin. This is only the beginning.”
