Anyone who lives in the age of the Foundations asks himself : Is there a free will left , or does it not matter anyway , the outcome is already fixed . There is one resort , though . Remember , the Seldon equations only work if we don't even know that they exist . And since it is already obvious that the plan was changed later ( the GAIA project ) , the outcome is still in our hands . If we work together to foil the dictatorship of historic cyclism , there is still time to change . If not we will face this future ( these highly secret documents were of course illegally obtained , so be careful with them ) . Here are two files from the Encyclopedia Galactica that our time agents were able to obtain : They are from the E.G. , 117 the Edition  , 1026 F.E. , a thousand years in the future .......

"The Great Compromise proved that Seldon's dream of the future seemed more possible than ever. After over 300 years of doubt in The Plan after the attack of the Mule , this proved to the inhabitants of the galaxy that Seldon's Plan never did actually get fatally disrupted. The actual reason for this regrowth was discovered during the Great Compromise. On the 4th day in the 10th month, of the 735 year of the Foundation Era, a joint treaty was signed by both the psychologists of Trantor and the scientists of Terminus  . This was the result of the stalemate at...

"...which proved that succession of either side independently was impossible as dictated by the Seldon's Theorems . The treaty signed was doubted: Seldonian Will due to the proof of the existence and reliability of The Plan. Here a joint venture was agreed upon; where both divisions would explore their particular abilities with the common goal of accepted advance (accepted advance according to the Seldonian Will, which was governed by the probabilities of Psychohistory). Together finally the Foundation as one began the first of the Pre-Second Imperial era."

The First Unified Crisis , 812 F.E


"... With the joint agreement of ( what where separate Foundations ) the two scientific communities, an unhindered scientific renaissance flourished throughout the galaxy. Among the advances, territorial expansion proved to test the very fabric of humanity, the determinedness of science, and the strength of technology.
"The mythical world of expansion became the fruit of a major expedition. This ancient section of the galaxy soon became a hotspot for tourists. While the planet was uninhabitable by nature, by the founding of Anti-rad dispensers cities became possible. Apparently, in the ancient mythological era of the formation of hyperspatial travel, a band of anti-humanity planets existed. Thought to be long since dead, one proved to be very much alive and powerful. This planet held 120 inhabitants with tremendous power. Their long standing goal: the destruction of the Galactic Empire. Upon realization that the Empire was already dead and the hopes of soon forming another anew, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the dead, the Solarians (as they called themselves) decided to prevent this from occurring. For the first time, a full scale physical and mentalic war was waged against the Foundation.
"The Foundation had no chance of success until the intervention of a person. R. Daneel Olivaw , inhabitant of the satellite orbiting Earth , former First Minister to the Last Great Emperors , proved to be instrumental in the destruction of the Spacers and in the succession of humanity. This "man" proved to be less than human but with all the peculiarities that are beheld in a human. Robot was the ancient term used to describe him. He was mortally wounded during a stand off with the last of the Solarian inhabitants. Currently he is held in suspension of time in the Temporal Protection Chamber deep within Trantor , where his suspended positronic pathways are being preserved until a future date where a general scrambling would not take place. He has been in stasis for over 200 years."
