This is a cobbled-together mass of various bits of alien technology, scrambled together from the defenders strewn through-out Sector 10. What was once a few lumps of biomass, some inert nanites and a pair of antennae is now a completed (albeit somewhat shaky) signal relay device. From what you can tell about the general programming that the nanites within have received, this relay is designed to send a specific signal back to the alien mothership and activate a teleportation beacon at certain locations

This particular piece seems to be tuned to activate in the BLAR section of Sector 10.
