Some time after the Ishtar Collective's arrival, Vex forces began making incursions into the colonists' 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. | Some time after the Ishtar Collective's arrival, Vex forces began making incursions into the colonists' 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 | 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.

Undeterred, and against Chioma's wishes, Maya repeated the test with brain-dead Exos whose minds had been wiped during initial contact with the Veil, placing them in the Veil interface in lieu of biological human participants. In doing so, she reversed the machine's function: whereas previously the system was designed to have a single "conductor" guiding an "orchestra" of participants as they communed with the Veil, this new approach directed data from the assembled Exos into a central recipient. For unknown reasons, Maya had also provided her own mental imprint during the test, to be overlaid on that of the central Exo recipient. | Undeterred, and against Chioma's wishes, Maya repeated the test with brain-dead Exos whose minds had been wiped during initial contact with the Veil, placing them in the Veil interface in lieu of biological human participants.
