Project Phoenix has been going on for generations but the general who had championed it since its inception was still around.

'A pregnant horse hung in the air' 🤣

The fact that we as a species did not have a contingency for this very scenario is frightening to say the very least. I would call the project project gecko, project gecko would essentially be multiple libraries each filled with copies of original works hidden around both earth and other planets hidden either in plain site or out of site. Imagine decentralized libraries with the ability to self destruct if captured by hostiles that had disarmed us as a species.
