The engineering hall statue! Thank you for posting your comment. I thought it was an abstract sculpture trying look "engineery". But it's a realistic representation of a cultural wound, and it is a warning.
Four thousand years from now, P-Cygnian explorers arrive to find a desolate Earth-- the evidence of mankind is spread far and wide but no humans remain.
Archeologists are convinced that this planet was home to yet another civilization that killed itself fighting for access to energy ... or at least they were convinced, until they found The Artifact.
Every known civilization inevitably discovers the same design for fusion power or dies before it makes it that far: apparently it's the only one that works.
And there it is on earth, in statue form, at the bottom of an excavation pit recognizable to any student of physics.

What happened here?
