Stephany looks at it through the beetle's eyes to try and discern how it must work. She casts Identify on it through the beetle as a ritual spell.
The item's exact purpose is slightly vague, but it seems to be able to cast a heightened locate object only on one specific thing.
Which specific thing? More to the point, which buttons need pressing, etc.?
She isn't fully sure. One button seems to turn the item on, while the other turns it off.
I'm pretty sure this is exactly the sort of detail that Identify would reveal ("you learn its Properties and how to use them").
Stephany tells someone to press [insert the correct button here].
*She doesn't know anything about the object, so she wouldn't know what it's locating. They're two separate things.*

Stephany says that it will locate the position of a certain object if [correct button] is pressed.
Eris presses the button.
A flashing blue dot appears in the center of the screen, with a solid red dot on the top left.

Okay, sure, I'll leave you alone. If you guys could wrap this up quickly, we don't have all day.
*On that note, I was wondering if it would be okay just to assume that some arrangement is reached, because I know a lot of people's plots are waiting on this. Just because if this keeps going at the current pace it will be months before the end of the encounter. Entirely up to you guys (mostly TTB cause it's his encounter), but I thought I'd put that out there.*
*I mean... Vristil already accepted the deal...*
*You know what?*
Vristil brings out a small but ornately decorated box made of dark steel.
*No, I don't know what.* "What's that?"
"What you came here to get."
"Cally-Boy is in a box?"
"Cool. Can I shake it?"
"If you want the object to be damaged, certainly."
Tear sighs. “What is it, and how do we use it?”
Vristil slides the box over the desk. "See for yourself."
Eris grabs it and opens it.
Inside is what looks like a triangular prism made of cool iron. A glossy black square dominates most of one side, and there are two black buttons on either side of it.
"Which of the buttons is red?"
"None of them, but I can paint one red. Or write red on it."

"That wasn't included in my payment."
"So we just press all the buttons, then?"
"Can I go first?"

A flashing blue dot appears in the center of the screen, with a solid red dot on the top left.
"Huh. It should do something, shouldn't it?"
We need to walk. When we walk in the right direction, the dots get closer. When the dots are in the same place, we've reached our destination.
"Awesome. But it'd be better if it had a GPS voice to read it out loud."

Stephany waits around in the hall for the others to come back. When they do, she casts Wind Walk on the party so they can travel quickly and unhindered by creatures they meet along the way.

“Huh, interesting magic.” Kane looks at the flashing dots. “The red dot must be where Calius is. We need to go there.”
Oh, right of course. Do you want to look through my beetle's eyes for a minute so you can see what we're talking about?
Chilling kinda vibe.
No.
