In Row G sits a metal vault. It is perfectly cubed at 15x15x15. The entryway, which appears like the door of a bank vault that had a mirror polish to it, can only be accessed through a card and ocular scanner.

By swiping his card, he also enables the ocular scanner, which lights up to take a live reading. Placing his eyes over the lenses, the scanner measures the pulsations and the routing of capillary lines. These coupled features were failsafe measures to assure that the eye had not been removed from the owner’s socket and dangled before the scanner to initiate a fraudulent access. As a second measure to confirm identity, the scanner then calculates and examines the laces of red stitching that run throughout the cornea, with this personal signature as unique as fingerprints.

As the bolts to the vault sounded off by pulling back from their circular sockets, the door opened and the lights within flickered and turned on. Inside and seated directly in the center of this chamber was a nondescript wooden crate, aged, maybe seventy-five years old. It was small, about 3x3x3. Hanging from the corner of the crate was a tag. So Holman, with the remote scanner, recorded the barcode, which the scanner accepted as symbols and numbers that made no outright sense to him.

As soon as the series of characters had been accepted into memory, Holman stood back, appraised the crate, and wondered about its value, which he had done dozens of times before. If he had known Latin, and if he had taken more notice and interest of the small print written on the back of the tag, he would have read the words: Aeacidae telo iacet libatis.
