The Vault They Guarded for 10,000 Years Failed

Harriet Vance runs a two-person survey outfit out of a Montana strip mall — stakes, sensors, spreadsheets, nothing glamorous. So when a routine subsidence survey near an alien historical site turns up a problem nobody in ten thousand years ever thought to check for, she barely notices. It's just Tuesday. For the Nerevin Authority, it's the end of a religion built on something that was never actually permanent. Fair warning: every story on this channel ends with an alien empire having a very bad day.
