Actually, Psionic Theory is available to any non-gestalt consciousness. It's just rare for some. To get a good chance to find it hire a maniacal scientist, or if you're a materialist, get a latent psionic, psionic, or psionic expert for your research. Other than that it's just a rare tech that has Spiritualists have a double chance of getting.
So, what you're saying is I was correct that it's locked behind psionic theory.
Umm.. you mean other than the powerful shield tech that requires it?
I am uncertain if the AI can even go into the Shroud. At least I found no AI weights on any of the options when I last looked.
I read the files again. Not a single AI weight on anything.
Thematically I thought motes were the spice, as you get them from deserts. Then again the effect of zro could make it go either way.
That is just he Admiral AI seeing Debris in a System without hostiles and broder access. Getting those is on high priority, so it does get them.

}Well, motes are "just" an industrial resource, while Zro is rarer and therefor more special. Although... three industrial resources, three ascension paths....
The gasses are usefull for the Advanced Energy Hub as well as Terraforming Machine Worlds.
