At this point no one has done anything to the device and Inaba is free to investigate it. Olwen will keep watch - mostly out of curiosity than anything.

What she will uncover is basically that it's a "portal gun" that has already been launched elsewhere. Instead of another location in the "world map", it travels between dimensions that exist on Ellipsa (similar to the fairy dimension in November). Whoever made it is very good at technology and utilizing even techniques even unknown to the Research Center, so after this mission, this piece of equipment is going to be valuable research material.
