The death of Telma was tragic, however, as was the loss of the Progenitor Archive. We will never know how that knowledge could have benefited the galaxy…

Our war with the Alphas goes ill. Their ferocity and callousness have given them an undeniable edge. We have always possessed minds of science, not warfare.

Our fleet, led by the flagship Wanders the Baleful Light, were entrusted with our society’s greatest achievement– the Archive.

In the event of our defeat, the Archive will be sent to a pre-determined location, the coordinates of which are included with this transmission. Good luck, traveler. I can only hope that you succeed where we failed…

The power is somehow still functioning; there are soft amber lights throughout the ship. They hum with power. It is… almost comforting.

Ahhh, very clever. Progenitors must have known these Alphas would be searching for Archive. They hide their prize behind dark moon, trusting in Theta Radiation to hide its signature.

Just thinking about the knowledge hidden on that ship… The good it can do in the right hands. Come, Commander, there is no time to waste. Beam me aboard that Progenitor ship.
