Minyan Patrol Vessel Artifact

A handheld metal device exhumed from the dust-choked corridor of a Minyan patrol vessel, its surface etched with geometric patterns and pitted from a hundred millennia of silent drift. The Doctor and Leela watch as its weight resists the stale air, while K9’s scanner chirps a readout assigning it Minyan origin and astronomical age. Its purpose remains veiled, yet the mere presence on this derelict ship confirms their dread suspicion that human history—like the vessel itself—has long since passed into cosmic oblivion.
