For much of its history the Arcturian Church strictly limited access to its founding document, releasing only select excerpts within various encyclicals and quarterly earnings reports. It wasn't until the hastily-enacted post-Generator reforms that scholars would have full access to the twenty-three-thousand page text of the Gar'tor'at Prophecy. Unusual among prophetic works, the Gar'tor'at dispenses with colorful symbolism and verse structure for a more literal approach:

Friday, 16 Thermidor, 4821. Partly cloudy, cool and mild, high of 58. Vice-Chairman Ossifay is assassinated by T'ltssk separatists today; Tigers take Falcons 16-7 and proceed to playoffs. TODAY IS CASUAL DAY. Jeans, khakis and long-sleeved tees are casual; shorts, sandals and tank tops are not.

As the Church's reputation became increasingly dependent on the Gar'tor'at's predictive abilities, the hierarchy took greater pains to ensure its prophesied events came to pass, from rigging minor sports events to strategically manipulating galactic politics. This policy wasn’t uncontroversial within the Church, especially when applied to the text’s more obscure passages:

Tuesday, 21 Brumaire, 5248. [REDACTED] continues to plot against [REDACTED]; be warned. In time this will lead to [REDACTED]. Chronal dislocation setting in, most likely stemming from [REDACTED]. This [REDACTED] will not [REDACTED] [REDACTED].

These omissions were not, as once believed, the work of the Church's sometimes-overzealous intellectual property division, but are present in the original text, increasing in frequency as one proceeds through the document.

In 5259 dissident clerics called on the College of Oracles to abandon the Gar'tor'at, protesting that the text was increasingly opaque, that its origins had never been satisfactorily explained, and that the watermark on its pages bore an uncanny resemblance to the Tomorrow Hive’s corporate logo. The hierarchy remained unconvinced, however, noting that the dissenters' protest had itself been prophesied, as had their subsequent execution for heresy.
