[STATIONARY_FRICTION]:
The doors close and it turns on. Other than a humming noise, an intense feeling of being watched and judged, and a minor flash of light, the scan is uneventful. It is over in about ten seconds. Twenty if you include the doors closing before it started and the doors opening at the end.
Scarcity immediately commentates as soon as it's over.
"Great work. It's not very often we get to scan non-biological life. Especially one this surprisingly low on most anomalous readings. Let me know about what you're interested in getting your claws on too. Though, if you don't have any particular ideas I can probably show you to a room of some prototypes or experimental resources that aren't needed anymore."
Scarcity gestures vaguely at Kara.
"And, the scanner doesn't really need any downtime, so once the first person's out and you're ready, feel free to head on in."

The crate is exactly where it used to be. After looking at the symbol Bwellothorn looks mildly concerned. Looking at the contents Bwellothorn is visibly shaking. It's stress level has risen from a 2/10 to a 7/10.
"...Oh. This. thank fuck it's dormant. Uh. Okay. ...So. I don't think this is immediately dangerous, but just in case, let's leave this shut until we can scan it. And also make sure it doesn't cut any people. Which, shutting the case should help. The faction that made this weapon is...not very nice. It is likely highly anomalous, possibly intelligent, and given that it hasn't said anything or leapt at me and tried to attack me, it's dormant. Would you mind helping me carry this case?"
