Object
Sarjenka's Star Pictures
A cluster of small paper pictures and crude hand drawings tacked to the bedroom wall, depicting starships and winged creatures against black skies. Edges are singed and smudged with ash, colors dulled by soot; some sheets are taped over tears. Data pauses to scan them as part of the ruined childhood detritus, and Sarjenka's trembling recognition of him occurs amid these images.
