Maybe more alien tools that happen to have human uses.
e.g
Pathology scanner: makes a beep boop when the subject's blood contains any kind of pathogen. (You still have to do all the pathology work, but it's an artifact that has the sole point of detecting infections.)
Alternatively
'chemical' scanner: Scans for exactly one reagent when found, what that reagent is no one will probably know. Maybe you find a meth detector, or maybe it just beeps at weird cheese.
heat emitter: Hit something to make it hotter, also light cigs in a cool way.
Alien radio: Picks up a random frequency from the station's coms and receives broadcasts (when activated). how or why no one knows. Like you could be getting the botanist's grocery list, security talking about a perp, or just random generic radio chatter from 145.9, but you would never know without something to compare it to. Maybe you strike lucky and hit a syndicate channel, but probably not. Note that talking into the artifact should not work.
Alien Microphone: The exact opposite of the alien radio, it sends sounds to a random frequincy, how, where, or why is a mystery.
