The Reliquary Wall

Twenty-four cells. Each holds one fossilized solution, set in beeswax-amber under sodium glow. Cells are tilted because the facility has been sinking for forty years.

The Pressure Manifold

A single great hexagon, partitioned into seven inner chambers. The artifact at the center is lit by a sodium-amber gradient. Everything outside it is statistics.

FEATURED ARTIFACT

The Brass Compass of Anders Krill

Recovered from the wreck of the Hyperion, 1962. Its needle still points to the next puzzle, irrespective of magnetic north.

Silt Floor

Half-buried hexagons. Below the silt: nothing. Above it: contact glyphs in faceted crystal.
