6. Recent close flybys have imaged a Golden Age compound<br>bearing the BrayTech insignia built in the Europan ice. The<br>same imagery captures thousands, if not tens of thousands, of<br>hibernating or destroyed Vex. Unlike all other Vex presences on<br>Venus, Mars, Mercury, Io, or Nessus, there is no sign of major<br>construction. This suggests a Vex strike force, rather than a<br>permanent presence. What did they want? We have fought Vex<br>before, and early aggression against their designs has always<br>proven critical. Their simple presence cannot justify an interdict.<br> | 6.

7. Through negotiation and horse-trading with her superiors,<br>Awoken Paladin Kamala Rior provided me with a device capable<br>of sundry high-physics measurements I will not detail. It reveals<br>that Europa is saturated and interpenetrated with dark matter<br>loops. This is a sign of the interest and attention of the Nine.<br>Their power and influence depend on the mass of nearby stellar<br>bodies, and Europa falls within the sphere of Jupiter—as mighty<br>a gravitational gatherer as anything outside the Sun itself. But<br>even in this bastion of the Nine, Europa is a focus of particularly<br>intense observation. We have often speculated that Xûr is a<br>construct made from the repossessed body of a Jovian colonist… but there are no known records of colonies on Europa. So what<br>draws the Nine here? Unclear. Their interests are opaque. In any<br>case, the gaze of the Nine is no reason to prohibit Europa—<br>Guardians have gone much further into their influence before.<br> | 7.

8. No known signs of Ahamkara or other ontopathic predators<br>occur on Europa. Perhaps there are wishing-sharks in the abyssal<br>deep, but that is purely my fancy. No grounds for interdict here.<br> | 8. No known signs of Ahamkara or other ontopathic predators<br>occur on Europa.
