If these ships are interstellar vessels that rely on advanced technology, the goo likely serves as a link that allows you to tap into their systems. The code must be incredibly complex, and its function might be more than just information transfer—it might even be controlling aspects of your ship's functions or enabling interactions with other alien technologies, like navigation systems or propulsion methods.

Your perspective highlights the dramatic divergence between what the Eben likely envisioned for humanity and how Earth-based powers utilized the technologies they acquired. The historical interplay of advanced alien technologies and human motivations is a fascinating, if troubling, narrative.
