It is also hella funny that their whole goal is to hoard tech so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands; but they don't necessarily know what anything they find is and are more likely to blow themselves up tinkering with shit they don't understand than a random waster who would simply tear the thing apart for the metal scraps.
"We CANNOT let ANY of this tech fall into the wrong hands!"
[all the tech falls into the wrong hands]
[BoS keeps murdering people anyway]
I don't think the scabbard is meant to fit the fork too.
