Right at the top of the stairs, you find a memorial to the veterans of the Orbital Wars. You don't have to be an expert on art to recognize it as blatant Midgard propaganda. The soldier and his loving hound drone are almost too sacchrine to believe.

That said, the plaque just under the rope line gives a rather spectacular recounting of the carnage of the wars. You're sure it's supposed to be inspiring, but it just makes you jumpy.

And, with a museum-guidebook equipped:
The museum guide goes into more detail. Apparently the hound drones weren't developed until years after the wars ended, but the stories of brutality and casualties are, if anything, understated.

And, with an odd sketchbook equipped:
The sketchbook has a few figure studies based on this statue. Although none have the drone, several have the soldier dressed up appropriately for different periods.

You've earned 2 XP in Reflexes
