Since no one else has answered @Melissa, the “don’t open” box was one of Trader Manuel’s questions for Digger, which IIRC was two or three chapters ago.
And what she would do with the box is bury it in the cement under a public-works project, after encasing it with lead if the box’s contents could handle the temperatures.
Now that I think of it, the wombat way of chucking that which is ineffable and should not be brought to the yes of mortal beings into a place where it would be difficult to retrieve is exactly how some of the abandoned gods end up underground in the first place (the ones whose temples weren’t buried by cataclysms, that is). I’m thinking that Helix’s unfinished business may have been not making it inaccessible enough.
