- Commander, I have acquired visual confirmation of the signal’s source. It appears to be some type of Progenitor installation.

- This provides cause for concern. There are no known occurrences of such an installation throughout Alhazar or other peripheral systems. We need to know how and why we missed this.

- Our logs and archives provide no reference to any potential Progenitor activity within the Alhazar system. I would advise an immediate investigation.

- Initial scans of the structure have yielded evidence to show that it houses several large data banks, each containing the capacity to store several thousand brontobytes of data.

- Commander, it would appear that our new Vulcan friend is not willing to communicate with us. I will be able to retrieve a sample reading from this installation, but I will need time to do so.

- You will need to hold off this Vulcan’s ship. However, I would advise against lethal tactics. The Vulcan appears simply to misunderstand our motivations. We should only respond proportionally to this.

- Ah, so you need my help in cracking it open! Shouldn’t be an issue. After all, it’s not my first tango with a Progenitor codebase. Without which, you wouldn’t exist after all!

- It looks like what we have here is a fragment of a larger archive. I won’t be able to access the full contents of the archive without all of the data fragments.

- However, from what I can tell, it looks like this archive is some sort of digital codex containing a translation matrix that allows the user to transcribe the Progenitor programming language.

- The core framework that Maia is built upon was loosely transcribed from this very language. With further understanding, we may be able to access restricted protocols in Maia’s codebase.
