What about tech they don't understand: it reminds me of the thought experiment of a Victorian engineer who discovers a nuclear power station: they think they understand how it all works. (steam plant, generator gear, all well understood) and trace back to where the heat comes from.
Huh! It's just a lot of carbon and heavy metal here. Why would this get warm? And why am I seeing flashes in front of my eyes.

@SkipHuffman @nyrath do the locals have the tools to dismantle it. Can their oxy-acetylene torch cut through hull plating. Can they get their hands on a USB4<->USBq adaptor to open the door?
Could DRM reer it's ugly head?
