If you've found this, I just want to tell you that this isn't what you think it is. It isn't a private confessional, or a recording of triumphs, some weird brag book. It isn't a collection of memories, either. No. This is a plan for you to act on, going forward. And if you're reading this, it means that I'm dead. So hopefully, you will see where I screwed up (when you know why I died), and use that to improve the plan. Keep a copy for our younger siblings, too, with notes on where you may have messed up and where you think I did. That's what I did with our older brother's notbook, except I think he messed everything up so badly that in the end I hid it so you wouldn't be influenced by it. I lived longer than he did, out there. But I guess if you're reading this, maybe I didn't do so much better after all.

She could lose parts of her, even lose the life of this body, but the last one of her race would be reborn and come to finish what she'd started. And the last one reborn would also be the last one of her kind. So it would be, and so it would continue, until the mission was done and the future was secured. Then she might seek a way to be other than the last one of her kind, or so the records said. She tried to think about the idea of not being the One Alone, and her mind could not work its way around the edges of the idea. If she was not the One Alone, what would she be? Such thoughts were foolish fancies that she had been warned against by the --

Inspiration: "The Last Mohican"
Story Potential: Medium? Medium-high? High?
Notes: Trying to think what scenario could be so dire that the whole species couldn't be exposed to it, yet one (exceptional) individual could overcome it and make things safe for the others. Maybe that's why this is high potential--my mind is pulling at the edges of this idea to try and figure it out.
