Now that we have successfully upgraded our R&D Department, I have been able to further interface with the Progenitor artifact.

The artifact itself is the trigger to activating the Conduit Pillars. The activation method is not a physical trigger. I can activate the Pillars through interfacing with the artifact.

Of course! Maia’s source code is based upon a Progenitor framework. That explains why she was the only one of us who could see the trigger within the artifact’s codebase. Fascinating!

Your deductions are correct, Montgomery. I will be able to activate the pillars when you give the order, Commander.

Well, it looks like we’re ready to give this a shot. Cross everything, Commander. This may be the only chance we have to get rid of the Progenitors.

Well, Commander. It looks like we… eh… have a bit of a problem on our hands.

The Conduit Pillars are in place but, well, this is somewhat embarrassing… I don’t know how to turn them on.

I followed the Progenitor blueprints that Maia interpreted from the artifact down to the letter, but there doesn’t seem to be any physical trigger. I don’t know how to activate the Conduit.

Commander, if we upgrade our R&D Department again, I may be able to further interface with the artifact and uncover the answers we need.

It won’t be cheap, but it’s worth a shot. I can’t see any other alternative here.
