Given everything that happened as of late, the archeship had largely slipped Ves' mind.
It couldn't be helped. A whole host of revelations and life-changing decisions overtook his life like a raging tornado. Ves could do little aside from letting himself get spun around while doing everything possible to avoid falling to his death.
It was only now that much of the storm had calmed down that Ves could catch his breath and take care of less pressing matters.
The archeship captured during the Battle of Corellix needed to be dealt with one way or another. The alien vessel remained incomprehensible to the Larkinsons even after they sent hundreds of engineers and other experts to examine her systems.
If technology could be equated to language, then the archeship was a completely different language.
At least the 'languages' used by other alien races made use of more relatable linguistic elements such as sound, intonation and written litters.
