19th-Century Canteen
A dented metal canteen from the late 19th century rests among bifocals, a Colt pistol, and an 1889-engraved pocket watch in Devidia II's underground cavern. Picard, Data, the scientist, and work crews examine this artifact collection under dim mining lights. Data precisely dates the items, confirming human presence centuries ago. The canteen bolsters evidence of temporal displacement, heightening shock before the tarp reveals Data's severed head.
