You gave the order- you'll preserve the Life-Vault on Jaxt, something located within just a few months of their discovery given your extensive knowledge of your planet's plate tectonics. You just rewind your simulation to about a hundred million years ago, find a flat open area where it likely was built and then watch it sink back... and it is right about there. That helps a lot with your understanding. Though, you'll keep it safe for now. No reason to open it when it could be just the help in an emergency situation.
As for the Andoen vault, you order it be opened. We will see what the three eyed giants have to say. The process will take a while to drill into the planets crust, but you'll open it right away. Perhaps they will be welcomed into your Hegemony, or perhaps they can give you something more valuable...

The Life-Vault on Andoen is opened, though you are careful about figuring out what you find. Because of how the vaults work, it isn't exactly possible to isolate one tank at a time, but you can at least minimize risk. After all, how dangerous can a hibernating alien without tools or weapons be?

How could this be? No Andon aliens were found in the capsules, instead, worms, biding their time in the pods instead. Were they the species who were extincted on this planet? Or was this an intentional trap? Or worse, did they somehow get into the pods... and eat the original inhabitants?
Worse yet is the implication. If the worms were here one hundred million years ago, then that would make them by far the oldest alien races in the galaxy, at least that you know of. That would be congruent with what they've told you, so that at least wouldn't be a lie.
