The Bluehaus contingent of the RvB cast + Kyna had a fragment Wash's expedition brought back, they held it while discussing if it was safe for PCs to poke at but ultimately decided that was a Decidedly Unsafe Endeavor and handed it over to Sorrow. Sorry, lab folks. Humans poking at alien tech sure is a thing for Halo canon but it always came with trouble. Add in magic and it's going to the gods.
