Milenya smiles faintly at Maethia, and grins broadly at Darion's words.<br/><br/>Her response to Ashana comes with a shrug and a smile.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Certainly, the mass relays and the Citadel are perfectly functional, and there are things to be learned from induction. Even when we can't directly examine either, some principles of physics were derived from them. Omega, so far as I remember, was entirely abandoned. Only remnants of old machines were left, and the remains of a mining colony. Omega's current form is mostly due to modern construction. As for the smaller devices, their value varies greatly. Some are, at best, curios for collectors. Still valuable due to their rarity, but not much else. Scientific devices, military equipment, those are exceptionally rare. And most valuable of all are the data troves. The beacons, the biosciences colony and data archives on the human world of Mars, active data spheres. Those are once in a lifetime finds. Data discs are more common, but they're like pieces to a puzzle we don't have. They're all, as Dr. Beruut notes, far more accessible to reverse engineering and direct access."</span><br/><br/>She looks around the table.<span style="color: #6495ED">"I'm speaking of more than just their credit value. The data is what matters most. For all we've already learned, we still have a great deal more to learn. The sketchy knowledge we have still does not cover, for instance, the construction of mass relays."</span><br/><br/>She frowns and glances at her omnitool again.<span style="color: #6495ED">"For a galactic spanning civilization, the Protheans left remarkably little behind. Whatever disaster they suffered, it's almost like someone went around cleaning up after them. Or they just packed up and disappeared."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
