So, I don’t really know if this is a bug, but it feels like one. This monolith in Vy’keen territory just kept saying “Nothing Found” after I clicked on “Seek knowledge of the past” It started to repeat itself after apprx. 60 frames --not counting the start up frames of text where it tells how you are hearing it in your own language etc. So that’s when I gave up and took the language option. Basically this monolith gave the whole of the Lore from the Vy’keen perspective. ![20190908162258_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/b/c/bc229eba69bf37dbf4932d7a51d312df9c3612c9.jpeg) Bug? or not bug? ---

It could be that you are in a system where there are no ruins. Not entirely sure about that but, I had it happened to me after having excavated a couple of ruins in one system. ---

Agreed. The "Nothing Found " would point to that. But for it to keep spouting out the lore, even after each “Nothing Found”? That’s what I’m not sure about. Though it is a small thing. ---
