//IKO: We must hope it will be worth the risk.

Or

//AI-FS: The data we're finding is encrypted.

//S14: That, and singing.

Or

• Vex Transmission: [indistinct Vex chatter]

//OSI: There has to be a method to this. A point.

//AI-FS: Lots of data encryption and lasers.

//OSI: This is old data from Nessus. Why now?

Or

• Vex Transmission: [indistinct Vex chatter]

//OSI: This data is old, and from the Sol system.

//S14: Is that strange?

//OSI: Perhaps. It predates the Collapse.

Or

• Vex Transmission: [indistinct Vex chatter]

//OSI: There is more to be found.

//OSI: There is Golden Age technology here.

//OSI: Vex comms are frenzied.

Or

• Vex Transmission: [indistinct Vex chatter]

//OSI: The Vex are searching in their own network.

//S14: The Vex? Lose something? Impossible.

//OSI: Each bit of data is a query.

Or

/AI-FS: The Vex are encrypting Golden Age data. :(

//OSI: And adding it to their network.

//S14: This is bad. It was wise to send the Guardian.

Or

//OSI: The Vex are amassing Golden Age tech.

//OSI: Decrypting, analyzing, and liquidating it.

//OSI: There is danger in this... and not just to us.

Or

//OSI: The Vex want Golden Age tech. Why?

//OSI: That is not the right question.

//OSI: What, or who, is asking it of them?

Or

//IKO: I see fingerprints present in the data here.

//OSI: Yes, I concur. Vex in nature.

//S14: A Vex fingerprint made w/o Vex fingers?

Or

//S14: All this Golden Age data...

//IKO: Most of it is arbitrary queries.

//AI-FS: I'm Golden Age tech! Me. Failsafe!

Or

//OSI: Some of these are simple objects.

//OSI: Golden Age, but of no strategic value.

//OSI: Only sentimental. Curious.

Or
