Blueshift is going to leave the pilot to Torque as he's already nearby. Instead, she and Mac are going to drop through that hole in the body of the plane and take a look around. Any rolls? Search? Investigation? etc? She'll take 20 with quickness on anything she can.

Once the smoke clears she's going to go all predator. She'll cycle through a litany of extra senses on her sight every round with a standard action (thanks to gadgets) until she turns up something that she can identify or track or what have you. Is that cool? All notice checks can take 20 as well.

Nothing shows up on your senses after the smoke clears beyond some heavy dimensional fluctuations in the area.

Inside the hole you'll find a large metallic cylinder heavily inscribed with runes with odd pipes and what looks like some kind of control panel in a language you don't recognize. The panel is smoking and there is a large hole in the side of the cylinder. It looks like whatever was inside broke out. The readings for dimensional flux seem strongest inside the cylinder but are rapidly fading.

You can get that its atlantean and an obscure dialect at that. There are surprisingly few libraries of atlantean script/translation available outside atlantis so thats what you can get in the short term. With a minute or two (given quickness/Mac Etc) you can probably get a partial translation.

Yes on both counts!

Alright by the time ace recovers and heads back Blue shift can get some salient points about the device. It is Atlantean in origin and is some kind of containment device. Inscribed are terms like 'danger' 'beast' 'lemurian'. It looks like a prison or cage of some sort for something the Atlanteans were rather frightened of. Now it is broken and empty.

Alright with a little bit of time spent decoding and with what blueshift able to act as partial rossetta stone for a jumping off point (Assuming she helps) you'll be able to decipher most of it.

the central control keyboard is just that and marked accordingly if somewhat arcanely while you can see what each element says it's not clear what that means. You are able to tell that it is some sort of containment device or prison, or cage. In ancient Atlantean the same word means basically all three and context here is almost nonexistent. It was built to imprison an weapon unleashed upon them by the Lemurians and is covered with warnings to that effect.

It seems to be a weapon designed to target Atlantean infrastructure perhaps or maybe scientists. The phrasing is very archaic almost as if spoken more in metaphor than literal translation. It seems likely that whatever this was was big enough news that any Atlantean finding the device would know what they were talking about. On the other hand with out that context it's a little less clear.

This is definitely from very early in Atlantean history. During the wars with Lemuria that eventually sunk both into the sea. Unfortunately there are many threats from that era that could qualify. One thing your research will turn up is that the Lemurians were careful to make sure that their weapons could not be turned on them. So this thing whatever it is is likely somehow hard locked to seek out and destroy Atlantean targets either biologically or technologically. Now since Humanity is genetically almost identical to ancient Atlanteans (which this would have targeted) and there is not a blood bath going on, you can make hte jump to it being after Atlantean tech.

Knowledge Pop Culture DC15 to know where the nearest likely Atlantean artifacts are in relation to the crash site.

Just posting with a query here: what kind of effects does the "weird distrubance storm" thing have on Supercapes powers.

I presume the regular blasts and whatnot function fine.

The ENtanglement powers (teleportation and ESP) may not, as they involve folding various dimensions etc?

Going by PLOT here, angry so following your lead - just want a heads up so I dont screw things up or post doing stuff I shouldn't be able to.
