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.

A light sail, also known as a solar sail, is a spacecraft propulsion method that uses light itself—whether from the Sun or a powerful laser—as the driving force. Instead of traditional engines, it relies on the momentum of photons (particles of light) striking the surface of a large, reflective sail.

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.
