What would you do with it? I say launch probes everywhere.
Manned missions? Would be fun except we can't seem to get ourselves back to the moon after almost 40 years since we first landed.

The warp drive make sense in a populate universe. In search of alien without find nobody, it lost most of it's peculiarity; just scientific research would remains. There is ever the possibility that someone does use it for collect methane or similar from the gas giant for then upraising the green house effect by burning them here. More interesting is a conseguence of the warp drive: the antigravity.

I would create Voyager 3-6.
Voyager 3 can go to Alpha Centauri.
Voyager 4 can go to Barnard's Star.
Voyager 5 can go to Lalande 21185.
Voyager 6 can go to Epsilon Eridani.

Warp drive and teleporter should be the same thing within the ST universe (someone did correct me, if I'm wrong), so we could go around the world in one day without luggages.

Find out how it works.
Find out if it is safe to use in the atmosphere of a planet.
Find out how fast it can go.
Find out if it can be built more cheaply.
Find out if there are any long-term health effects.
Find out if it can be built out of readily-available parts.
Find out if it caused those weird cancers.
Find out if it can be miniaturized.
Find out what's out there.
Find out who's out there.
Find out if our weapons are better than their weapons.
Find out which rocks are best for making spear points.

They'll need a self-sustaining internet. Feeding off ours is going to give them a long, long dial-up time. (imagine posting a reply to this thread from Alf Cen... you would have to wait 4 years for it to load, then 4 years for your reply to reach Earth!
