A cache implies a hidden treasure, although what we find inside is not always what we hope for or expect. Sometimes it's less; sometimes more; sometimes nothing we've ever imagined.

The treasures are varied as well, from lost genomes and altered memories to alien alliances and self-discovery.
Whatever waits to be discovered, these stories suggest that sometimes the search is the important part...
