Imagine how amazing you would feel as a child to have a possession of yours put on display at a museum. Even if it was temporary, you’d remember that for the rest of your days.
Sounds like Bethan knows her shit, that’s a pretty nice looking rock.
Update: Bethan stole that rock from a former colony. The museum said it’s not giving it back
I must admit, that’s a pretty interesting looking rock.
I have been waiting for someone to come in here to tell us what kind of rock it is. No such luck so far.
Hard to tell from the picture but I was wondering if it was some form of Serpentinite.
It’s a very nice rock.
The year is 3524 AD. Probes from Alpha Centauri visited Old Earth for the first time since the Great Burning cut off all communication between Old Earth and the Five Extrasolar Colonies in 2519 AD. One of the items brought back from the ruins of an ancient museum is puzzlingly called Bethan’s Rock. Historiologists are not sure who Bethan was and the significance of the otherwise mundane object. One theory is that Bethan is some sort of local “Influencer” (predecessor to the line of now banished Memetic Cyber-Daemons) and the rock is its real-world foci.
Did you ever read the David Macaulay book Motel of the Mysteries? This reminded me of that.
That’s actually pretty nice of the museum to do for her.
