Imagine my surprise when I saw you had an exotic offer that originated from a certain entity within the Badlands this morning. But, worry not. I do not care about them and their perplexed outlook. They are not the threat here, nothing more than a pale whisper compared to what their Creators have left behind.

Interesting. I already know the answer to those questions long before this Anchor breached open the stability of the hyperspatial field, Uhmen... Perhaps barring the last, that is the only part where I remain uncertain. These entire networks have existed and persisted years before - the Sentinels guarded them. Even some of your own pilots utilised the anomalies to traverse to other places under the guidance of another individual. Though I find myself surprised that he did not inform you about these afforementioned answers. Or perhaps I'm not surprised, knowing who your tour guide was.

Whatever the case... You're seeking answers, as am I... But what I seek is dangerous, and I want to ensure whatever is inside is not going to destroy all living sentients. However. The lack of foresight with blindly prying open more and more wounds in the hyperspatial stream has gone far beyond recovery, it's inevitable now that we're going to see more and more conflict arise out of this. I'm afraid we're simply entering a new state of unforeseen consequences and may have inadvertently kick started a chain reaction from both Humanity's desire to compete for dominance, and of those creations being disturbed.

What could you offer me that could accelerate my means of learning and studying these remnants of those precursors?

... And why me? Do you not trust Section Eight?

Perhaps we can help each other out, but I would need reassurances. I once made amends with Section Eight to focus on these threats, only to be stabbed in the back. How do I know you will not do the same?
