Research Log Team Mk 1.3

Principle Investigator supplementary log. Investigating the newly exposed internals behind the shell uncovered an intricate piece of engineering within the device. Unfortunately progress was limited due to the confined spaces of the devices itself. It seems we will need to devise a bespoke circuit and bring the connections outside, not much of an issue as we don't expect to recast the device in open space again. The bespoke circuit will be designed to fully repair what was damage, but also help establish a safe and secure connection our diagnostic machine if we have any hope of code breaking.

Separately, the piece of external plating removed from the device is now being analysed on the workbench. There was nothing spectacular to note from first glance. However, running a crystallography analysis with a sample of a clean fragment yielded some interesting results. The report indicates an unusually increased concentration, and higher grade of Hydrocarbon molecules found in the side panels. Testing an exposed frame from the device also picked up a distinct isotopes in cobalt modules, the signature matches only one region of Sirius, the Walker nebula. Compounding the workman ship of the device points to an assumption... this is either a product, or at least a raw product of Rhineland origin.
