The Empress's Lilac Ribbon

The archaeologists were preparing to leave when they happened upon a large, hidden chamber cluttered with artifacts, gnawed bones and a substantial amount of fresh slobber. There - under a used royal nose-swab, on a four-legged table with a carving of a face they confirm was indeed funny, sat the Rubricator, maker of thingamajigs, right where it was supposed to be. A tiny insignificant-looking cube, spewing out a continuous stream of artifacts. The Rubricator is a replicator - an ingenious alien invention that can make endless copies of just about any artifact, and soon it is ours. The planetside team will begin the journey back to the safety of the ship. Thankfully we will never know what attacked the hoarders.
