Nope, nothing like that. There are some signals it's received in the past, but they're redacted. Maybe Arthree's tracker could pick it up?

@Legend

Who?

*Scrolls through technical logs that have a few arcane technical errors, but generally hint at being unable to connect to test instances of layer 1, and the interface also displays a large red circle with the text "DMS ACTIVE"*
It looks like this thing is mostly working? Maybe?

@Legend

*Frowns and furrows my brow*
Nothing in the realm of like, controls of any sort though?

I don't know what half this stuff means. Wait, scratch that. Any of it. And the stuff I do know is just what he said on the video.

@Legend

*Leaps back over to you*
What’s it look like?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*It has a few small ports on it that seem to be electrically destroyed and a wireless transmitter communicating with my phone*

@Legend

Hm.
*Yells*
How’s it going over there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The power source seems to be connected to a small computer cluster that uses the antenna configuration to transmit and receive*

@Legend

*Checks if the computer has any mechanism of interfacing with it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Starts scrolling with a semi-puzzled expression, and the asteroid itself seems to be wired primarily as a large antenna connected to a meager power source*

@Legend

*Follows the wiring system to a focal point opposite the power source, trying to find the point where it broadcasts as best I can, taking massive leaps along the way*

I'm—I found an option buried in the settings. It lets us look at logs. I don't know if there's any equipment in this rock that might help us though.

@Legend

You look at that. Imma do another feel around to see if there’s anything else.
*Kneels and places all of my fingertips against the dust beneath me, sweeping the rock for any more hollow space, or out of place material*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Inhales through my teeth*
You're right!
*Wipes my face with my sleeve*
We can do this!

@Legend

*Pats your shoulder, smiling*
There you go!
*Turns around and steps into the hole I dug, looking around*
Any other equipment here that might be helpful?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Putting me in charge is a huge reason to panic! I—there's no way I can do this!

@Legend

It wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t capable! He believes you can do it, so you can do it. There’s no time to doubt.
*Tightens my grip on your shoulders*
Head down, one step at a time, remember?

@Legend

Hey!
*Puts a hand on each of your shoulders and looks you in the eye*
This is the opposite of a reason to panic. This whole thing was put in place under the absolute confidence you could do it. So you can do it. And if you can do it, we can do it.
