The first thing I thought about when the artifact was mentioned was The Beast:
''Research log 15. 11/7/3301. We are still investigating the unknown artefact. Surface scans indicate that it might have been covered by an organic compound some time in the past. We are currently undergoing preparations for deeper scans and a possible opening of the device-WHAT IS THAT... WHAT IS HAPPENING OH GOD OH GOD SOMETHING'S LOOSE AAAAHG JETTISON THE LOWER DECK NOW AAAAAAA''
...Hopefully the corpses are not injected with a T-virus...
