I was thinking they'd meet Hal.  Given that Hal (and the Varroi under his command) have a vested interest in denying the data to Lucy, then I could see them bringing Marius to Cooperative Earth to assault the blacksite themselves and destroy the data.

It [i]is[/i] worth noting that Varroi worship Aven, who they teach is Lucy's son who overthrew the tyrannical god that was his father to become a benevolent god himself, combining the virtues of man and divine in perfect synthesis.  Lucy is basically their version of the Devil, so they [i]very much[/i] want to throw a wrench in his plans.
