I’ve been analyzing the data you sent over. From what I can see, the Progenitors had a plan in place to deal with a quantum vacuum, should one ever arise.

Indeed. Unfortunately, that particular contingency requires technology that we do not have access to.

Most importantly, I have found over seventeen petabytes of quantum mechanical data. With this information, we may be able to create a device capable of collapsing the vacuum.

We should find VESTA. Together, we can formulate a plan of action.

Yes. Almost similar to the human concept of–

Perlin noise. Exactly. That’s why our ion burst never worked. If we can level out that distortion…

Such a thing is not possible, however. Normalizing quantum distortion would require…

A knowledge of quantum physics not currently present in the galaxy. But it was, once. And you’ve got it all in your databases now.

It is possible, I suppose. Though I do not see any Progenitor plans for such a device.
