Exhibit No. 17
Depicted is a musical instrument from Kepler 186f (Mt. Sierpinski, Moraine layer, circa 500 local cycles B.T.) Designed for single use on ceremonial/religious occasions, the artifact is played by dropping it from a great height. Music is generated as the rush of air is funneled through the apertures before the instrument shatters on impact.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Exhibit No. 18
Depiction of a decorative scroll urn recovered from Hausdorff South, TRAPPIST-1d. Iteration layer, circa 1,500 local cycles B.T. In Iterative times, the ruling class would commit a scroll to memory and then burn it as a sign of wealth and mental prowess. The gilded reliefs illustrate key scenes from the scroll, in this case a history of invasions. Ironically, the practice of scroll burning has resulted in most of their accomplishments going up in smoke.
