บท 430: Echoes Of A Forgotten World III

Quinn, Elijah, and Junior joined Aria in a second, peering into the case.

Inside were rows of small devices, each the size of a coin, with small buttons on the sides.

They, with one exception, reacted similarly to her, thinking that they had hit the jackpot. 

Getting closer, Junior squinted his eyes at the tiny labels beneath each device and asked:

"What are those?" 

Elijah, the 'exception,' shrugged his shoulders.

"Dunno. They might just be data storage. Back then, people used these to keep information on physical devices, not just on the network or inside their own bodies like we do."

Aria reached for the handle of the display case, but it wouldn't budge.

She tried again, pulling harder, but it was locked.

"Guess we're not getting in there."

Junior laughed.

"Not without breaking it open, at least."

Quinn looked at Elijah.

"You think the Academy will allow that?"

He nodded.
