K-950

That day, Kaohsiung Harbor was shrouded in the morning mist, and a strange, massive structure stood silently at the end of the pier. It resembled neither a ship nor a building; rather, it looked like an unrecorded space capsule that had just completed a silent landing. Its landing struts were planted deep into the ground, holding the hull suspended in mid-air, like a relic from the future.

A serial number was engraved on the observation pod: "K-950".

No one knew where it came from. Inside the cabin, countless white spheres hovered, slowly rising, drifting, and falling with the airflow from below, as if performing a breathing ritual from an alien world. A man stood before the transparent window, staring unblinkingly at the rhythm within, as if waiting for a message.

"This was not a crash," he murmured. "It was placed here intentionally."

It wasn't until days later that people realized those spheres were actually Styrofoam—a material discarded by our era. Once a symbol of waste and pollution, it had now become the fuel for this observation pod, allowing it to traverse the stars and complete its mission.

What is K-950? An accident? A reminder? Or is it a question posed to us by a future civilization?

When you stand before this device from the future, gazing at its minimalist structure and the slowly undulating spheres, you are not merely stepping into a piece of fictional technological history, but facing a realistic and urgent question:

Could today's waste become tomorrow's resource? Is there another, undefined energy hidden within the materials we ignore?
