A replica of the original tablets found on the moon world of Miseo was recently moved to the Museum of Li Antiquities on Galat 5 as a testament to the extraordinary events collectively known as the Huan’hai Incident. Remarkably, the original tablets showed extensive corrosion and aging, although the story of their recent creation defies conventional explanation. The originals, once in the possession of the Leng’gui Consulate, contained a record that was a guarded secret, but is now revealed as a journal of the hasty flight that led to the miraculous reemergence of living, populated moons in the Li system. Visitors to the museum on Galat 5 who stop by this exhibit are left scratching their heads in bewilderment at the paradox represented by the age and story of these artifacts.
The chief author of the tablets, Averil Whey, lives on Miseo and tells of the harrowing escape by members of the Storge’s crew from a bizarre, collapsing time bubble. His story, filled with details about ships and crew thought lost thousands of years ago due to a catastrophic failure of critical systems aboard the ancient freighter, SS Thelema, remains stunning proof of a fantastic universe of possibilities.
