It's not the coolest, but it's the one with the most sentimental value. Liara actually dug something up fairly early on in one of her first archaeological digs. It's baby's first artifact. Exciting! So she's investigating this thing, referencing all sorts of documents about other , trying to figure out what this thing could be
AND IT TURNS OUT
IT'S
A
Prothean space toaster.
She's all disappointed because man, wouldn't it have been awesomeif she found something that she could share with the galactic community that would have a revolutionized an entire scientific field, but she decides to ask hey, can she keep this, Prothean technology has already revolutionized the field of space toasting, it's not like you need this thing, right? So the University is like, sure, why the fuck not, so she carts this thing home and eventually puts it in display case all nice and pretty in her apartment on Ilium with all the rest of the artifacts she's obtained.
Eventually she becomes the Shadow Broker and can't leave the ship because she's so busy, so she sends a team back to her home to get all sorts of needed equipment/gadgets/files/whatnot. Including the toaster. And the agents are not Prothean experts and end up like, man! Prothean technology! This has got to be something important!
So they think nothing of it.
So Cerberus finally gets up the gumption to attack and try to take over her base of operations, and Liara is having absolutely none of this and decides to tell everyone to go fuck themselves by crashing the ship into a planet. I like to imagine that there was one Cerberus agent who had more than passing knowledge of Prothean technology and, in their final moments, looked over Liara's room and wondered, "...the fuck was the Shadow Broker doing with a space toaster in their room?"
And then the ship crashed and Liara's secret remained safe forever, the end.
