I thought perhaps given the way the Sage emphasized finding them as a means for keeping back the old ones, it may trigger a canon recurrence given Laplace's Box is seen as the one thing that may free spacenoids and earthnoids from their conflict.

If that's too much of a stretch, no worries! I just threw it in because it seemed similar to me but I can see how it is and yet isn't enough at the same time. :)
