Into that Vast and Unrelenting Darkness (40K Xeno Civilization Quest)

Same, spiritually cleansing sounds like the most interesting option. Not sure to work, but if it doesn't we can try some of the other approaches... well, barring someone really fucking up.

As far as the other thing, whale-heart sounds good. Also, this could be a way to communicate with (potentially friendly) giant space whales. Everyone loves space whales.

I'm coming around to this one. We're already heavily faith based, and being able to strengthen our spirits, harmonize them, resonate them with each other, that sounds like an innovation on the scale of the initial introduction of lifeforce. Plus we seem to have more ways to get warp than we do Artifacts. And we are already researching a way to make our ships safer, which is Faith based.

[x] Food [Frontier Explorer Compartment]: Food had proven to be a strong motivator for the Grot, who had asked to come aboard after being given candy. Apparently, his species were typically used to starvation conditions. Some of the civilian crew had observed the creature was significantly less aggressive with those who gave him food: their proposal had been to place him in the mess hall. Not only would this help alleviate any fears about food availability, it would build trust, allow for large amounts of socialization, and by providing busywork in the kitchen, it could allow for at least some energy to be burned off.

All bow before the power of baked goods.

[X] Cetacea Orchestrion: The Mysteks crudely thrown together device could be refined, they believed, utilized to create a mechanism that could instead of silencing your spirits, allow them to harmonize, strengthening them, uniting them in song and allowing their souls to resonate with each other. It would be a difficult project, but it would revolutionize spirit-craft in the Directorate. Gain Cetacea Orchestrion Project, 0/25, costs 2 Warp.

I feel like I should point out, that we're a Starfleet expy, as such apocalypse probes that only speak whale are a concern.

Oh, I am so here for song related tech! I'm not sure what to pick for... Wait. Can't we just ask Stizlak what he would prefer?

[ ] Video Games [VR Simulators]: Stizlak had shown some interest in the GameCubes you had given him, even if he had trouble assembling them into a working game without assistance by his assigned drone. He had also shown a degree of trouble focusing and a relatively short attention span: the science team theorized he might have a form of attention hyperactive deficit disorder (assuming this wasn't the norm for his species), meaning that his aggression was likely caused at least partially by frustration and boredom. Video games could prove a good, healthy way for the Grot to entertain themselves and, like Sports, could allow for them to vent some of their aggression in a safe manner. Plus, it was fun!

This will either be a proto-Waagh! field like the Orks or proto-Shadow in the Warp like the Nids.

[X] Whale-Heart: The Mysteks crudely thrown together device could be refined, they believed, utilized to create a special sort of mystic subsystem that would allow your ships to mimic the whale-song, reducing danger and increasing warp-speed both. They would need some GodTek to do it, however. Gain Whale-Heart Project, 0/25, costs 2 ART.
[X] Mystek Peace Rituals [Mysteks]: The Mysteks had proposed a spiritual cleansing: while a great deal of lifeforce had been spent during the crisis, once they and the herds recover, they believe they could perform a ritual to alleviate the darkness on the Grots soul and give them true peace of mind and spiritual wellness, allowing for the first step on the road to recovery.
