Great, they went crazy with the find and replace and redacted all the math and physics work that went into figuring out the Epstein Fusion Drive. Now we'll never get off this rock.

Tbf, we'll also not have Protogen.

The protomolecule was out there anyway, just a matter of when. Same plot as in Alien(s), it's almost like this is what corporations do.

It was discovered on Phoebe, and it's sort of impractical to recover samples from there without an Epstein drive though.

(Seems likely that Phoebe the protomolecule delivery van was likely captured in Saturn's orbit and left inert, until someone opens Pandoras box...)
