Commander, you’re going to want to see this. After decrypting the Progenitor archive you retrieved and cross-referencing its translation matrix with Maia’s codebase, I’ve made some significant discoveries.

Dialogue
Several protocols in Maia’s codebase make reference to what the Progenitors called a “Subspace Network”. The translation matrix extracted from the decrypted archive confirms this.

From what I can tell, it looks like they used this network to distribute computational processing power instantaneously across their installations – some thousands of lightyears apart from each other.

This could be a monumental discovery, Commander. However, we’re going to need to test the validity of my theories. Luckily, you just so happen to be in the presence of one Montgomery Scott!

I theorize that, now stay with me here, if two Independent stations were capable of accessing the subspace network, then it would be possible to recognize these stations as nodes on the network.

Of course, we’d need to establish protocols that would ensure a trusted and uncompromised peer-to-peer connection, but if this was possible… Well, don’t you see?

Then theoretically, both stations would be capable of instantaneously sharing computational resources across vast distances.

Precisely! Now, of course, we need the correct hardware to connect to these networks in the first place. Thankfully, that archive contained more than a translation matrix.

It also contained blueprints for a Subspace Relay! With the right tinkering, I believe that we may be able to link two or more allied stations together across the subspace network.

I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve taken the liberty of marking out a vacant plot on your station for such a device. Now, all we need is an allied station to complete our testing environment…

We may know just the right person. Commander, we should return to T’Lonu and inform her of these developments.

Woah! Commander, I think it worked! Readings of the station’s systems are off the charts. Computational cycles have exponentially increased. It’s like we have the processing power of two stations!

This is simply… incredible. We are primed to uncover the depths of Progenitor knowledge and, in turn, enrich our own ideals and philosophies. I have a lot to thank you both for.

Think nothing of it! A friend of the Commander is a friend of mine. I’m glad that we’ll be able to uncover those mysteries together, T’Lonu.

But for now, I’d better get back to Maia and make sure that the relay is stable on that side. Stick the kettle on, Commander!

Welcome back to Ajilon, Commander. I’ve just finished reading through the brief you transmitted. Is it true? Have you uncovered the secret of the Progenitor installation?

Perhaps one of them, yes. However, we require your assistance. We would like to introduce you to one Montgomery Scott, a brilliant engineer and trusted ally.

My station is yours to use as you see fit. However, you will need to supplement the station’s resources in order to complete any desired construction projects.

That should not be an issue. Montgomery, what will you need to complete the project?

Well, based on a quick inventory check, I think 15,000 G2 Raw Ore should cover it.
