First published in ''Literature/FoundationsFriends: Stories in Honor of Isaac Asimov'' (1989), by Creator/GeorgeZebrowski. This ScienceFiction ShortStory is a DistantSequel, taking place in 1056 F.E., post-dating the 116th edition ''[[FictionalDocument Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' entries published in [[AlternativeCalendar 1020 F.E.]]
An [[TheAllConcealingI unidentified narrator]] is researching Hari Seldon for the 117th edition of the ''[[FictionalDocument Encyclopedia Galactica]]''. However, out of the six known appearances of Hari Seldon, three [[MissingEpisode recordings are missing]]. His appearances during "Literature/TheEncyclopedists", "Literature/TheGeneralFoundation" (never shown on-screen), and "Literature/TheMule" are accessible, but the ones during "Literature/TheMayors", "Literature/TheTraders" (never shown on-screen), and the [[FoundingDay Foundation's 1000th anniversary]] are missing.
The researcher gets caught up in [[ContemplateOurNavels philosophizing]] while they wait for their search algorithms to retrieve any mention of the missing [[DeadManWriting records]]. When they do, we watch as Seldon's sixth appearance reveals [[AllAccordingToPlan how he used these appearances]] to [[SelfFulfillingProphecy encourage the previous five events]]. The aged Seldon gives a [[PatrickStewartSpeech rousing speech about his dreams for humanity]], including the way he hopes that humanity will grow [[ImmuneToFate free from psychohistorical prediction]].

!!"Foundation's Conscience" provides examples of:
* AllAccordingToPlan: The sixth appearance of Hari Seldon was scheduled to occur on the [[FoundingDay Foundation's 1000th anniversary]], on the 190 d. 1000 [-F.E.-] It was one of three {{Missing Episode}}s discovered by the [[TheAllConcealingI unidentified researcher]]. In this [[{{Hologram}} holographic recording]], Seldon reveals that he expects humanity to grow [[ImmuneToFate beyond the laws of psychohistory]], to recreate itself and society so much that [[PatrickStewartSpeech they become a better and more noble race of people]], a people [[RousseauWasRight free from negative impulses]].
* TheAllConcealingI: This entire story is in FirstPersonPerspective, with an unnamed and undescribed researcher as TheProtagonist. Nothing about them is known, and even their status as human must be inferred, since they make explicit mention of positronic intelligences.
* ContemplateOurNavels: The [[TheAllConcealingI unidentified researcher]] gets caught up in mulling over the [[SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate conflict between destiny and free will]].
* DistantSequel: This story takes place centuries after ''Literature/FoundationAndEarth'', which was the latest volume by InUniverse chronology. It even takes place after the ''[[FictionalDocument Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' edition that gets quoted in most of the other books, and is designed to be a story that brings [[DistantFinale closure to the series]]. However, context suggests only ''Literature/TheFoundationTrilogy'' is {{canon}} for this story.
* DistantFinale: This ShortStory takes place [[DistantSequel centuries after]] ''Literature/FoundationAndEarth'', which was the latest volume by InUniverse chronology. It even takes place after the ''[[FictionalDocument Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' edition that gets quoted in most of the other books, and is designed to be a story that brings closure to the series. However, context suggests only ''Literature/TheFoundationTrilogy'' is {{canon}} for this story.
* ImmuneToFate: The final appearance by [[PosthumousCharacter Hari Seldon]], where he [[AllAccordingToPlan reveals the end of his millennia-long Plan]], has him explaining that he hopes that humanity will take advantage of the new galactic civilization to become "a rational intelligence which would be immune to psychohistorical prediction".
* MinimalistCast: The only two characters to appear in this ShortStory are Hari Seldon (who [[PosthumousCharacter died a thousand years ago]], leaving [[DeadManWriting recordings]]) and the [[TheAllConcealingI unidentified researcher providing the narration]].

* PatrickStewartSpeech: The final appearance by [[PosthumousCharacter Hari Seldon]], where he [[AllAccordingToPlan reveals the end of his millennia-long Plan]], has him explaining how he loves the noble impulses of humanity, and that in the years to come, he hopes that humanity, [[RousseauWasRight free from the irrational darkness of anarchy]], will become a rational species that can [[ImmuneToFate shape their own destiny]].
* RousseauWasRight: The final appearance by [[PosthumousCharacter Hari Seldon]], where he [[AllAccordingToPlan reveals the end of his millennia-long Plan]], has him explaining that he hopes that humanity will be able to eliminate the "darkness rising out of a given human nature", because [[PatrickStewartSpeech he loves the noble impulses of humanity]], and wishes for society to be [[ImmuneToFate rational and unpredictable]], with freedom from inner darkness and psychohistory.
