After returning from Washington DC, Andromeda tells Ford that she has figured Adams path, he seems to be traveling from one progenitor signal to another, and when he does, the signal disappears. Ford knows that this means that Prometheus' speculation about Adams killing the progenitors is correct so he ask Andromeda to send him to the next signal in his path. However, the ship's Conduit Dialer has lost power doue to being abandoned for so many years, so Andromeda sends Ford to reactivate power core of the ship. Ford then goes to explore the remaining of the ship. Andromeda also introduces Ford to the Arsenal Replicator, explaining to him that he can bring any weapon or upgrade blueprint and get an exact duplicate for him to use at any time he visits the hub.
