The Veil was later discovered by [[Ishtar Collective]] researchers who had traveled to Neptune aboard the [[Exodus Indigo]] during the Collapse. According to audio logs left by [[Chioma Esi]], every researcher on the initial survey team died after making physical contact with the Veil, instantly entering a state of brain death. Exos present on the colony mission experienced psychological disturbances due to the electromagnetic signals emitted by the object, hallucinating and in some cases entering a state of "billboarding" similar to that which had occurred in early exominds prior to [[Clovis Bray I]]'s invention of the [[Alkahest]]. When examining the object, [[Maya Sundaresh]] heard her own voice in her head speaking to her, telling her that the artifact was called "the Veil," and became convinced that it would be their "salvation". | The Veil was later discovered by [[Ishtar Collective]] researchers who had traveled to Neptune aboard the [[Exodus Indigo]] during the Collapse.

Several weeks later, Vex forces began making incursions into the Ishtar Collective's territory, but were apparently repelled by the Veil's influence, preventing them from simply dropping into the midst of the Ishtar Collective's habitat and forcing them to engage the colonists' defenses. | |||
Eventually, Maya and Chioma developed a prototype interface by which the Ishtar Collective researchers could receive and interpret the psychic emanations coming from the Veil. In Chioma's words, the system was designed "like an orchestra," with a central "conductor" guiding an array of other individuals whose minds were linked together in a network; the system was inspired by networked intelligences like SIVA and the Vex. According to Chioma, the risk involved with this approach was quite severe, with a high projected mortality rate.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zif5YuxGIIs</ref> Indeed, during the initial test of the interface, all participants were killed.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK4te84rflo</ref> | Eventually, Maya and Chioma developed a prototype interface by which the Ishtar Collective researchers could receive and interpret the psychic emanations coming from the Veil.
