The presence of a Knossos in the parallel N362 suggests the Ancients had contact with the Vishnans, yet the Vishnans did not save them from the Shivans. This suggests that Vishnan motives are not purely benevolent, and certainly not simply helpful 'Great Preservers'. Scans of N362 in our universe indicate that an inactive Knossos portal is present in the system. Given the consequences of activation of the last Knossos portal, no attempts have yet been made to power up or activate the device. However, analysis of the artifact by Dr. Mina Hargrove's team suggests that it was last active just over fifty years ago, and that it could be activated again if an appropriate code was uploaded to its onboard control systems. GTVI believes that data transmitted from the GTC Duke during its sojourn to a parallel N362 contained the code, but the Duke defected to the Federation at the beginning of the recent war for the liberation of Sol. It is possible that a particular combat spacecraft from the 222nd Nightwolves contains the intact code, but an onboard accident aboard the GTD Temeraire shortly after the opening of the war somehow led to the destruction of this spacecraft's records. GTVI is investigating.
