Current Holder: Ronnie Vint (hidden)

Origin: Ruined City (Terra)

Summary

A collection of cups, silverware, and miscellaneous knickknacks that Ronnie Vint secretly pocketed from the Ruined City (Terra) during the First Terra Expedition. During the official debrief he turned over approximately half of what he found. The other half is hidden from Voss Dynamics and the rest of the team.

Details

While the team was moving through the ruins of the alien city on Terra, Ronnie Vint quietly helped himself to portable items: cups, what appear to be cutlery or silverware analogues, and various small objects whose function is unclear. At the subsequent debrief he produced some of these items for Voss Dynamics’ records — enough to seem compliant — and said nothing about the rest.

The hidden half remains in Ronnie’s private possession. What he intends to do with them is unknown. Possibilities range from personal curiosity to future black-market sale.

What Voss doesn’t know: Adrian Voss and Voss Dynamics have no record of the concealed items. If the discrepancy were ever discovered — through inventory, testimony, or independent recovery — it would create a serious problem for Ronnie.

The items themselves: As everyday objects (or functional equivalents thereof) from a vanished alien civilisation, they have uncertain value. To a collector or black-market buyer with knowledge of Terra, they could be extraordinarily valuable. As isolated curios without provenance documentation, they’re harder to monetise without raising questions.

Game Notes: The hidden artifacts are a latent liability for Ronnie Vint. They could become a plot hook via discovery, attempted sale, or the items themselves having unexpected properties.
