All of this still very much appears to her like a displacement effect, as if a whole building had been transported through space and possibly time. The purity of the building's material seemed to support that, but the seeming complete lack of any people doesn't. It's possible only inorganic material was transported but it still seems strange. She keeps an eye out for things that might provide some clues like calenders, cellphones, images. If a whole building was transported without it's occupants then maybe empty clothes would have been pulled along. She doesn't expect any computers to still be operational, but their model and make might still provide some insight into dating this.
With some of the building still buried deep inside the rock, it's hard to really tell for sure WHAT'S left. The base was apparently
very meticulous in their search.
Towards the bottom--where, presumably, the active research was being done, there WAS some things that ASHLIE could some what recognize. Just visible was a...well, it would be easy to say it was a phone, but it seemed too thin for that. Still, a flat rectangle with a screen on it and buttons along the side; what else could it be? It didn't match any known configuration ASHLIE was familiar with, though.
There were other pieces like that, too--things that ALMOST fit known patterns, but were just...not quite right at this point. Remnants of computer hardware too thin to be feasible. Exposed circuitry that was far too dense for current mass-produced standards, if not beyond what ASHLIE or secret government programs could do. Stark's people weren't mass-producing anything like this; it wasn't cost-effective at this point.
