In fact, in this case, it was even worse. Normally, when you scanned something and you realized something had been blocked, you would know that you were missing something.
It was like looking at a brightly lit room of 100 squares and seeing that 1 square was dark. You would realize that something was wrong and was blocking you from seeing that sphere, prompting you to investigate.
However, Dante's methods had made it such that there were 100 brightly lit squares, but he and everything about him now existed on a 101st dark square that floated above the head of the onlooker, a direction they could not look even if they wanted to.
The same had been done to Dante by the top factions of the universes. All the technology he collected and all the information he had gotten had been perfectly curated by them.
Dante had once been very suspicious of the Solaris AI from the ship he bought from the company in the Eternal Universe.
