Xox found Zya at the center of the dig. "What have you discovered?"
"Video records," Zya replied. "Documentation of their culture! This one is a story from an ancient war."
Xox watched the projection slab. "Mesmerizing," they said.
"I have been watching for three hours," stated Zya.
"We have duties..." began Xox, but then fell silent.
The video finished. Another began. "I could watch all day," said Xox.
"Yes," replied Zya. "They called this... Youtube."
