... humanity discovered a fully working station out in space?

I'd be like Dr. Manuel on Eden Prime.

Alright, this thread has been won.

Say goodnight, Manuel.

Heavy risk, but... nah, nevermind.

Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke, asked this exact question.

When Pak wakes up, he sees a crab-like creature picking up his skybike and chopping it into pieces. He cannot decide whether it is a robot or a biological alien, and keeps his distance while contacting Norton and the others on the other side of Rama for help.

 

Oh hi, that must be a keeper.

... humanity discovered a fully working station out in space? 

 

A fully working but empty space station just floating out there with all sorts of higher technology. Stuff that almost seems magical.

 

"When humanity discovered the mass relays, there were some who thought they should be destroyed. They were afraid of what we'd let in. But look at what humanity has achieved. And the reapers will do the same for us again, a thousandfold, but only if we can harness the ability to control."

Shotgun!

I'd look forward to years and hopefully at least decades of significant advancements for all of humanity.

I'd fully expect massive expeditions to establish research facilities to explore an alien structure from top to bottom. Unlike the dupes of Mass Effect, it's doubtful that anything people find out in space would not be explored from top to bottom until we know as much as possible. Like the keepers. If we were to actually discover something like the keepers in such a station, we'd never be able to successfully enforce laws against disturbing them, because science! There would be tons of people like Chorban scanning them. There would be documentaries of all sorts exploring the depths of it, of course, alongside any crazies the media could scrounge up to provide wild conspiracies and fear-mongering.

[Zazzerka]

And when all the science is done and we discover that it is, in fact, a portal to our doom, we'll just quietly push the thing into the sun and pretend it never happened. All's well that end's well, eh?

 

Take that, asari.

[KaiserShep]

Heck in the window of a couple decades, we would probably have dissected the living hell out of that thing until the trap didn't work anymore. Of course, if something like Sovereign came with the package deal, we'd probably nuke the station from a safe orbit, just to be sure.

Haha I doubt we know if Sovergin thing came with the device. I'd imagine will find it on Mars soon.

the Suicide Mission theme would start playing in my head, and I would get a camcorder ready so I can live off the royalties from the veeds 7 years later.

It would be ironic if we found it on Mars. I'd be one of the first computer geeks to sign up for the mission. I can just imagine it jump starting the tech age and advance us two hundred years. It would be kind of what happened with the Roswell crash in 1947. That jumped started us 100 hundred years in tech advancement while a space station would jump start it 200 hundred years.


But my best bet is we find ruins on Mars since that place is full of questionable artifacts. Like the Mars face for an example, or even a rock that looks like it came from a statue. Several pyramid like structures that can be seen through out the Photos on Mars... So my best bet will find a station on Mars or something like that.

I'd immediately buy lots of stock in software and tech companies.  Then I'd go back to school and take classes in Physics, computing, and whatever else would improve my chances of getting into NASA.  After a few years and realizing that there was a reason I have a bachelors in the arts and not in sciences, I'd quit school and use my newfound tech wealth to buy a spot in one of the many private industries sure to be sending people to space.  

 

Naturally, I'd choose the organization that already has a lot of wealthy backers, and has a mission I could get behind, like advancing all of humanity and not just one country or another.  I'd also want them to have a cool name.  Despite failing at nearly every corner, this organization would somehow find a way to get into space and I'd purchase a seat on the ride.  Once on the station, I'd begin to hear new voices in my head, and come to see the beauty of the space cuttlefish.  Wanting to share the beauty of the cuttlefish with my fellow earthlings, I'd signal our location and enjoy my new role a goo in a giant three-eyed terminator.

For me, I would just blow a hole in too the cuttlefish god.

You deserve truckloads of cookies for this post.

 

Now stop making me look like a fool at work, grinning and chuckling at my computer screen.

I know right I was laughing up a storm with that post.
