Description

The Clarke's journey continues... alas my brain is half in the bed at this point and can't generate a good story that doesn't involve Interstellar Mothra. So got a tale for this image? Knock yourself out!

Detecting strange energy emissions from the Saturn-like worlds smallest moon, the crew of the Clarke discover a clearly artificial structure that has been revealed by centuries, possibly millenia of impacts.  Amazingly its surface is untarnished,  if annoyingly enigmatic.  Intrigued, Capt. Peters orders a full sensor scan and has the Clarke placed in geostationary orbit five hundred meters above its surface.
When the results of the sensor scans are examined the crew are stunned by what they find.   The energy emissions match those of the Caeliar, the race that had, by accident, birthed the Borg, then removed the Borg threat from the universe forever.  The scan also show the object to be hollow.
What is a Caeliar artefact doing this far from the Milky Way? And why is it still here when all other Caeliar technology has been removed by Caeliar themselves?
Before Peters can decide on a course of action however, the artefact suddeny emits a powerful signal, then goes utterly dead.  Seconds later the chief science officer reports that fifty thousand new data files are now in the computers memory buffer, isolated from main functions. 
After numerous checks to make sure the files aren't dangerous,  and a scan that reveals the artefact to now be utterly solid and dead, Peters orders the Clarke onto its next destination,  knowing that the science department is going to be kept busy for a long while.
