VAULTS | Their real purpose. Your thoughts?
I was mulling over this idea – surely, most likely wasting my time with it – of the purpose of a Vault.
The story we have is:
Long range scanners identified potential worlds, 600 years back. ...

Of course there is another possibility. What if the opposition was created by the terraforming or something else the remnant did while in Heleus?
And what caused the vaults to stop working? Was it the scourge or was it the Kett?
Not necessarily stupid. For example, if we had an intelligent alien race scanning another planets for life, and their range of technology and knowledge would make their scans pinpoint only planets with Nitrogen, other lifeforms in planets without Nitrogen would be unchecked. However, we, humans, having Nitrogen on our atmosphere, how the heck would we supposed to block any scan from reading our whole atmosphere? Both sides lack something, you see, we lack technlogy to block our entire planet of being scanned, while the alien race lack technology to read and identify lifeforms which are not based on a planet with Nitrogen, similar to our own inability to identify or base our hopes on life ever being considered organic, needing water etc. So, even if they had advanced technology to block long-range scans, sometimes they cannot block everything, because of their limited perception upon something.
Like a reaction? That would mean that the scourge-creating power would be dormant in those planets? That is a possibility. For the vaults stopping working, I'm not sure, but perhaps because the jardaan needed evacuated and hid Meridian somewhere else. I think that part would explain the vaults started to be synchronized. Or so I understood.
All this and more in the next episode of ... Speculations on Heleus.

Hmm. Finding functional? vaults turning planets into habitats suitable for silicon, germanium, or something even more exotic based as a lifeform? THAT would be outside the box, in an exciting way, and leave the door open for endless future possibility (and speculation). That would feel *really* alien.
