    Not Petey, no.
    Someone like him.

    But Petey or not Petey, I like the idea that there is some knowledge in that there's some knowledge in that databank the galaxy really shouldn't touch.
    (I read a series once where something like that happened.
    The resident precursor race got into a civil war about their tech.
    One side developed a weapon that would destroy anyone who would abuse the knowledge behind the tech.
    What happened next should be easy to guess.*)
    Not saying that will happen there, but Ennesby’s approach still seems the best for now.

    *Right. They were the first targets of their new security system. Because it determined everyone getting to that tech-level would inevitably abuse it and endanger existence.
    Making things worse: Simply knowing about the weapon (and the technology behind it) could attract it.
