It just struck me, reading in Terra Firma that there was a lot of Nova Tech and Core Tech based on nova principles that was sold before everything fell apart.
So, someone is digging through great grandpas stuff and they find... oh, a suit of armor, a gun, a glowing ball that speaks to them. Maybe a Qtech bodyguard that is programmed to protect the first person it meets, by vaporizing anyone who threatens him (threats can include harsh language, approaching within three feet, or spreading rumors. There's a reason that model wasn't popular).
But regardless, given that the nova designed stuff, especially at the higher end, might be nearly impossible to understand, and can range from "art object" to "doomsday device to MAKE THEM ALL PAY". How do the various governments deal with it? A hotline? Does everyone's hazmat departments include "So you just got called about Aberranttech" courses?
Cause it seems to me you could do an entire campaign based around the adventures of a major city's "Aberrant technology disposal team" ranging from the funny to the quite possibly world-endangering--and better, since most of these events probably are on the lower end of the scale, you're likely to not get provided with all the best equipment. If you need that, you call in the Psi Orders or the national military.
Or they investigate after your last message ended in a suddenly-cut-off scream of horror.
