First published in Foundations Friends: Stories in Honor of Isaac Asimov (1989), by George Zebrowski. This Science Fiction Short Story is a Distant Sequel, taking place in 1056 F.E., post-dating the 116th edition Encyclopedia Galactica entries published in 1020 F.E.An unidentified narrator is researching Hari Seldon for the 117th edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica. However, out of the six known appearances of Hari Seldon, three recordings are missing. His appearances during "The Encyclopedists", "The General (Foundation)" (never shown on-screen), and "The Mule" are accessible, but the ones during "The Mayors", "The Traders" (never shown on-screen), and the Foundation's 1000th anniversary are missing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The researcher gets caught up in philosophizing while they wait for their search algorithms to retrieve any mention of the missing records. When they do, we watch as Seldon's sixth appearance reveals how he used these appearances to encourage the previous five events. The aged Seldon gives a rousing speech about his dreams for humanity, including the way he hopes that humanity will grow free from psychohistorical prediction.

All According to Plan: The sixth appearance of Hari Seldon was scheduled to occur on the Foundation's 1000th anniversary, on the 190 d. 1000 F.E. It was one of three Missing Episodes discovered by the unidentified researcher. In this holographic recording, Seldon reveals that he expects humanity to grow beyond the laws of psychohistory, to recreate itself and society so much that they become a better and more noble race of people, a people free from negative impulses.

comment
The All-Concealing "I": This entire story is in First-Person Perspective, with an unnamed and undescribed researcher as The Protagonist. Nothing about them is known, and even their status as human must be inferred, since they make explicit mention of positronic intelligences.
