Review:
This book is set up as though it were a series of statements taken from a group of employees working with and around a variety of artifacts and occasionally visiting a nearby planet. (I think - it's been a while since I read this, and my memories are fuzzy.) The statements were taken over a period of 18 months, after which the committee assigned to evaluate the employees came to a decision about their overall fate. Some of the employees were human, while others were humanoid (human, but created artificially?).
